When do males stop growing (Height)

Something I need to know. I'm 16, have big feet, long legs, long arms, largish head and a really short upper body :( Will it grow into proportion in the next few years? Also, I'm not posting pics.

No.... :)

For something like that...doubt it.

I'm 15 and I seemed to have ceased growing in the past 2 years. :P I used to be really lanky, but now I've kinda filled out. I still want to be a bit taller though...

Guys can grow until they're 20.

I'm almost 19 and I have barely grown. I'm still like 5'4':(

I hope I don't have lanky legs forever.

I think you are at the peak of fitness and stop growing around 21-24.

No.... :)

From what I recall you grow most in stage 3 of puberty, you can still grow a few more inches after that but not nearly as much.

Edit: I'm 6 foot 6 btw and don't mind my height at all

Between about 16 to 21

Correct, depending on your enviorment and genetics between 21 and 24, women stop between 16 and 18.

About 23-24.

Yeah you still have a few more years to go nothing you can do about the length of your limbs but add some mass so you don't look "lanky" start weight lifting.

u stp growing in ur early 20"s

NEVER

As soon as you stop growing vertically, you will grow even more horizontally...stop getting taller, start getting fatter

:)

usually guys are done bytheir late teens

-depends mostly on if you were a late/early bloomer

Also, you may never grow into your torso. I have 1 friend that has like the shortest torso ever. He is all legs. It only looks funny when he tucks his shirts in though

I do believe 21 is the magic number. Some people may say 24, but that's kind of far-fetched.rcignoni

Around 18 to 20

Ok, but when do you start to thicken out? I'm getting some weights in a few months, so I'll start lifting. Might get a gym membership too :) How big do you get naturally?

I didn't get fatter, just broader. My jaw, shoulders, chest and hands all got bigger in my late 20's but I didn't get fatter. I'm 33 now and my BMI is right where I should be.

Ok,to all those out there...

DONT SMOKE,i started smoking 2 years ago,and i did grow,but much less than i would have if i didnt start smoking...

So,dont do it...

And to answer your advice.

NO,i wont stop smoking :P

My theory is that you don't stop growing, it just slows down as you get older. I'm 31 now, the last time I measured my height was sophomore year at college at about 183~4 cm, and now I'm a little above 189 cm. So there you go, personal evidence. I've got no reason to lie, so take it as it is.ChateauNoir

And what happens when you are 70-80?

I was fully grown at 15 physically. Its different for everyone.

6'1" and I'm 15 and still growing

i've always hear you stop growing around 21. That kinda worries me tho, since I'm alread 6'1 and i'm only 14. I dont wanna be any taller, and that unlikely.

I was the same hieght when I stopped growing at 15. I'm the tallest person in my family as well.

We reach our peak height at 23 years of age. And then it stays like that until about the ages of 35-65 (affected by weight, health of food we eat, genetics, race, and enviroment) , when our vertabrates start to shrink, and we appear to be shrinking.

Everyone I ever asked said girls stop growing at 18 and guys stop growing at 21, but I wouldn't take that as scientific fact because the people I asked were not scientists.

Who cares, as long as girls don't make fun of you for your height your good.

My grandpa was 5'2 when he graduated high school and grew 8 inches when he went in the navy.

arent you the guy with the huge forhead?Solid_Tango

I think males stop growing at 21, give or take a couple years.

Guys can grow until they're 20.
