Height Question........

[ibounce4free]

Ok, so I'm 18 years old and I'm 5'8. Now, I dont shave because there isn't really anything to shave. Now, i was wondering, will I still grow because I heard you stop growing at 18 but I'm not shaving yet, so maybe its delayed?

Don't count on it.

What does shaving have to do with height?

And no, you will continue to grow into your mid 20s.

Man, that's funny. Even to a 5'0" midget like myself.

Depends when your bones set, and decide to stop growing. Hopefully you can eek out another couple of inches.

 

[thomsbrain]

some people keep growing for a few more years. some don't. maybe you'll get lucky.

 

[JM Aggie08]

if you keep growing until your 20's, i wouldnt be suprised to reach 7'

Start stocking up on those flatform shoes.

Ps. If your mom's short, you're doomed.

Everyone is different. Depends on genetics. Look at your family heights and see what the heights are of your immediate and your parents immediate family.

Good luck short guy!

[edro]

Don't worry, you'll get bigger and by bigger I mean fatter...much much fatter.

Some people actually grow very little bodily hair. Asians in particular hit puberty later and generally develop less bodily hair than Caucasians.

I grew about an inch from 18 to now (21). So I guess you can still grow a little.

 

[dug777]

doomed...

 

[lozina]

You didnt drink enough synthetic growth hormone contaminated milk when you were young

 

[maximus maximus]

I do not think that you will grow a lot after you are 18, maybe an inch or two..

I'm not so sure about that first part... I hit puberty when I was 12 or so, and stopped growing at around 15. I guess you're right about that body hair part, except for leg hair (blech).

I believe you can go to the radiologist, get an x-ray, and see if you'll still be able to grow (if your growth plates are still in place), but that costs money.
