Most of the time, boys who hit puberty early will grow taller at first, but their peers who start later will catch up once they hit their growth spurts. In the end, both groups tend to be about the same adult heights.

Yes, research has shown that male's that develop later (Late Bloomers) often grow taller and have a lower voice. However, there is no guarantee that this will be the case.

No, this is a myth. Some boys do start puberty later than others, but there is no guarantee they will be taller.
