My mom says all boys grow into their 20s, but I don't believe her.
Some say boys stop growing at 16, but I've grown maybe a little under an inch since 16. Others say 18.
I've noticed a lot of people I met at 12, 13, 14 years old were really shocked when I told them how old I was, which of course made me feel really insecure. I could tell from my pictures in middle school I didn't really even look my age, not taking into account height, but my 19 year old brother's 8th grade photo still looks like him.
However, I think I hit my puberty "milestones" at an average or slightly late average rate. My growth spurt started at 12 and a half, started growing hair in certain areas at slightly after 13 1/2, and a voice change at almost 14. (Not sure when it started, it was gradual but no signs at 13 1/2, and at 13 and 11 months a friend who hadn't seen me in 6 months commented on my voice change which was a huge confidence boost). I started gaining muscle at 15 1/2 but that's also when I started lifting. I still have little facial hair but I feel that might be normal for an Asian, however I look a lot like my dad who has a lot of hair for a Chinese man.
So I probably am not going to finish early, hopefully I'll finish growing late. I'm almost 17 1/2 and may or may not have grown a quarter inch, but I'm worried it might be measurement error. I measure multiple times a day.
How much have you grown since 17? Any help would be appreciated.
I stopped growing at 15 I guess.
My teenage period sucked, I'll make a post about that.
My brother is legit the best growth-period person I've ever seen. That mf grew on a year basis. Regularly. Like 4 cm + 4 cm + 4 cm + 4cm. He's like 186 cm now. Fkn lucky guy..
When I was 14, I had a growth spurt where I became 5'7.5. Then I grew another 1 or 1.5cms. Now, I'm still at the same height.
It's about when you entered puberty, Look at the growth plates, you have a chance to grow a little longer if not closed
1.5-2 cms I think, at 18.
Between 17-18 i had gain just 1 cm ,most of my friends also 1-2 cm or even nothing
also this fairy tales about growing in early 20s are hilarious.
I have never seen anyone was growing taller at 18 y/o (i was care about height since 17) just fictional articles from the internet ect
Boys active grow phrase continues until 16 y/o between 16-18 boys also growing but much slower ,some of them who didnt have noticible grow spurt before 16 can have it in 16-18 period but its rare cases,growth at 18 or older this is extremelly rare (95% of male population is not going to have even a cm at 18)
I stopped getting taller at 15.
My body changed a lot until 20yo, my back became wider and generally I became wider with bigger bone structure but my height didn't change at all. Many boys get taller till 17 yo, after that the change will be minimal (1-2 cm max) or most of the times zero.
I don’t know for sure, but I think I stopped growing between 16 and 17.
since 17 i grew 2 cm after. 17-18 is where you become your near adult height it seems. 14-16 seem to be the years guys grow a lot if they will grow much. some guys who will be like 6ft plus will be taller from early childhood and continue. People say guys can grow until 21 i think this is rare. Check your growth plates and you'll know.
