Question

my boyfriend is about to turn 16 and he is 5'5 and i just turned 15 and i am 5'5 too. i really want him to be taller than me so bad!

will he grow any taller??? btw his mom is about 5'3 and his dad is about 5'5 or 5'6.

Answer 1

Normally men stop growing around 21. I myself was about 5 foot 10 in high school and then from 18-20 grew an additional 5 inches.

Answer 2

19 years old

Answer 3

he probably won't! he's pretty small though! i'm 16 and i'm 6'2, but my dad is 6'0 and my mom is 5'5, i think i've stopped growing so between 16 to 18 tops!

Answer 4

17-18

Answer 5

Let's see,

-People stop growing at different ages, some people even stop growing until they are 25. It depends at what age your bone plates fuse. When your bone plates fuse, you stop growing because the bone doesn' t have any more ''potential'' to grow. You can recommend him to do more sports and eat healthier, as that may help him gain a few more inches in height.

-He's still too young, so chances are that he might grow more than what he is right now.

-Please don't dump the guy because he might be shorter or equal in height to you... Height does not really mean anything in the grand scheme of things. You're probably too young to understand this argument anyway...

Cheers!!

Answer 6

Well for most guys, they will grow til about age 18 or 19. Looking at his parents height, he will be around 5'5-5'8 but i would say thats about it. At 16, tho chances are that he has a few more years to grow.

Hope this helps, :)
