How old did everyone stop growing?

[Random181]

Well I no its a random question, but what did age did everyone think they stopped growing? I know full well that the theory is 25, but right now im thinking ive finished at 17, I am easily the tallest person in my family (excluding those married in) im about 2 inch above my dad (my mum is like 5inch shorter than him) and I have my dads broad shoulders (and he has easily the broadest in my genetic line) so I kinda think im done as far as growin goes now. On average though what age did everyone stop growing? am I like the only one who appears to have finished at 17 or did some of you guys?

you can get a growth spurt at 20-21

 

[Random181]

I know that, but it is incredibly unlikely, anyway I was mainly asking other people for how old they were

I know some people mainly female though that stopped growing by middle school and I know some guys that grew through college. I know some that stopped in highschool all depends. you could be finished heightwise at 17 it's not unheard of

yes you are....but your years of wisdom create good products...so its all ok

I think height wise I stopped back in HS. Now I am widening out with muscle, that growth will never stop!!!!

I hit 5`9" before I was 13 and never grew taller after that.Go figure.

i stopped growing at 16 - 17. I was 5'9 back then and i'm 5'8 to 5'9 now (perhaps more mass causes more compression to my spine).

I don't know if my bones had ossified by then, or if I was just producing inadequate growth hormone.. but whatever.

There's no set rule, I stopped growing at 14. My best friend was 5'6'' when we we're both 14 and he's now 6'3''. He stopped growing at about 19-20
