Growth??


Question:
Well, I'm 15 and about 5'8. I was just wondering, when will I stop growing, or have I already? Thanks for your help!

Answers:
Most people stop growing at 16-18 years old. But some can keep growing a little more until even 21. That's the age in which your "growth cartilage" in your leg bones runs out. Past that age, you cannot grow anymore.

Other Answers:
you will grow a little more, but I would not expect a basketball career to be in your future
i think it depends on the person. technically you stop growing at 21. but most people end up stopping around 16 or 17. but it depends on the person. you might be finished, but it all depends on your parents and your body. if you parents are around the same height, and stopped growing around the same age, then you will probably too. but if they are not then you might keep growing a little bit. my guess is if you do continue, at the most you will probably grow another inch or so. i'm pretty much the same as you, i'm 14 and am like 5'8'' too. but i think that i will end up being like 5'9'' when i'm done. so yeah, it depends on you. ask your doctor, he will probably know.
You will probably continue to grow for a couple of years still. However, you should be happy with whatever height you are. I mean, I'm 17 and only 5'1". But I'm cool with that (even if it does make finding clothes just a little difficult lol).
im 15 and 5"11 i hope i stop growing haha
females stop growing around 17 and males 21 that is the avg. anyway
18
