Growth and Development

[TyCooN]

I'm going to be a lightweight@5'8". What age do people stop growing in height? If I get taller I'll definitely move up at least one weight class.

I didn't finish growing height wise til i was 24. I think the average is about 18-20?

I thought I had stopped growing when I was 17. I was 6' 1 1/2 inches tall then. Much later on, I decided to have employee health (were I work) measure me. The nurse insisted I am exactly 6' 2" (barefooted); I had her double check. I guess I grew another 1/2 inch somewhere along the way. The difference didn't really change the size of my jeans (34 length), so I didn't realize it. I'll be 48 this year; I'll probably start shrinking soon!

I reached my full height at about 18. Any growth past that was neglible.

Hmm, I could use another inch or two.

I grew a little in my early 20s.

I topped out at 14 or 15. Sucks. I'd kill for another inch or two in my stumpy legs...

21 for men, 18 for women....on average.

Same age, I used to be on the tall side.

I was always the tallest - 6' by 14 or 15, but then I was done. Wasn't great for sports - I did shot put, discus, played middle in volleyball and the four or five in basketball - and then suddenly I was undersized for most of those.
