It depend. For girls it is 2 years from your first period!!

Answer 3

Technically, you don't stop growing until you are dead...BUT don't give up hope just yet.  I didn't achieve my full height until I was 21, sooo...there's always hope that you are a late bloomer!  Don't worry, though, 5' 6" is a good height to be--you don't need to worry about specialized clothing, jeans, etc being too long or too short, yada yada.  But I don't believe you can prevent your bones from growing longer without some kind of harmful means such as smoking or worse.  Not worth it.  As for the myths about drinking coffee/caffeine stunting your growth--I can tell you that ain't true, or I would be 2 full inches shorter than I am today.  Haha!

Answer 5

I doubt you'll grow anymore. For girls, they say about 2 years after you get your first period you stop growing.

But for girls it's normally 18ish.

Guys is normally 20ish to when they finish college..

Answer 8

In my family generally the girls don't get any taller after the age of 14 and boys don't after like 18. If you did grow any more it would probably only be an inch at most, but if you haven't in two years than I wouldn't worry about it. Your probably done growing : )

its different for everyone
