Answer 1

you grow untill you are in your late 30's.  Then it is all downhill from there.

Answer 2

Barring any medical abnormalities, you will grow slightly until age 25...

After that, and ever so slightly, you will slowly begin to shrink...

Answer 3

You will continue to grow till the age of 24.

Answer 4

You will continue to grow, by tiny amounts, over the next 4 or 5 years but I think the likelihood of gaining more than another inch is remote.

Answer 5

As a male, you could continue to grow, perhaps slower, perhaps faster, for the next few years.  I'm 6' and the shortest in my family.  My adult son son's 6' 6".

Answer 6

I'd say the chances are 50/50.  I'm 6' and haven't grown (up) since age 12.  But men can keep growing, slowly, until age 22 or so.  You might end up a giant.  Good luck to ya.

Answer 7

I'm 24 and I have grown ever slightly in the past few years.  I'm 5'11" and I'm the tallest of all 7 of my siblings (no my parents aren't Irish or Catholic :) !).  I haven't noticed much other growth in my height, but my hips have become more wide-set (perhaps due to my prime age for child bearing). But there is a good chance that you might grow a few more inches in height. If you don't , don't be upset or vice-versa.

Answer 8

That depends on if you want to grow more . If so keep grubbing and exercising. If not then start smoking. Oh incidentally, I am seventy now, when I was at Wellshot Jun Sec in Shettleson, Glasgow. There was a boy called James Crearer, and he was 6'6" when he left in 1952 at15years old. I often wonder what became of that lad.
