When do does your height stop growing?

Yeah, I want to know when your height stops growing, I'm 15, 5'9 1/2 and I want to know if I've stopped growing or if I'll continue growing. I know 5'9 is already tall, but I wouldn't mind growing to 6'2 by the time I'm a full grown adult.

It all depends on your genetics. Look at yourself in the mirror. Are you one of those 15 year olds who shaves every day and could probably buy beer? You're probably not going to grow much.

How the hell are we meant to know that? What are we meant to be, soothsayers?

This has gotta be a bad joke - this exact question has been asked 3 times this week.

Answer your own question - measure your heigh today, and then measure it again in 5 years time. Then you'll know if you've stopped growing or not.

Around 18-21, your height peaks.

average height is around 5'10-5'11, so 5'9 is not exactly "tall", man... anyway, overall appearance doesn't matter. i look young, i don't even have sideburns, so following unregistered's reasoning, i'd still have to grow... unluckily, i haven't grown for the last year, so i think i'm done

absolute latest time to grow is about 22. Whether you'll actually continue to grow til then, I have no idea.

 

[DJ4Real]

about age 22 for men.

It varies.

Don't worry about it.

Shorter people are stronger in relation to their bodyweight. Astound people with your amazing strength to size ratio.
