Default A height question

This isn't anything overly important, but I was curious.

When do guys stop growing literally "up"? I've heard everywhere from 18-21. I'm just curious because I'm already the tallest person in my family, taller than my dad mom and older brother. Also

When did you stop getting taller, and how tall are you now?

Ty.

Default Re: A height question

sorry just stumbled back onto the thread...

huh so pretty much guys will stop at around 18? then the rest of their physicality (muscles, etc) finish growing around 21?

I'm a bit curious because I am wondering how tall I will end up being. I doubt I may grow any more though /cry/ (I'm not short, but I'm not tall either lol). I haven't grown half an inch since the end of july 09, and I'm only 16. Should i expect any more you think?

Dad 5'7
Mom 5'6
grandpa's: Dad's side: ~5'8 Mom's side 5'5.5
grandma's: Dad's side: 5'6 Mom's side 5'5
Me: 5'8. 5'9 with shoes lol.

Every calculator I've tried says between 5'7 and 5'9. Or more.

thanks man. Ok, according to the uh, I don't think 'equation' has the right meaning here, I'm going to be around 5'9. Give or take. So I'm pretty much at maximum height right now I guess lol
