I'm 16, have I stopped growing?

I noticed that my height has not increased for the past few months. Did I stop growing? Or is another spurt possible?

I'm a 16 year old guy, 5'10 right now

Do you guys have any experiences?

Thanks

Need naked pics of your mom to figure this out. Post them.
 
I hit 5'8" by 14. I stopped growing then 🙁

A friend of mine may have been an inch or so taller when we graduated high school and when I saw him a year or so later, he was about half a foot taller.
 
I don't know when I stopped growing. Probably summer before being a Sophmore in High School, 14, or Sophmore year when I was 15. I was a late bloomer for sure. Still am, really.

You'll be going through puberty for a few more years, no worries. 😉
 
It can pop up again later, you can get some more height but I'd not count on it.

BTW, from here on life gets worse. By the time you're 25 you'll already be fat. 35, arthritis everywhere, 45 just looking forward to the end. Cherish your youth, bru, you will miss it when it's gone.
 
Guys that stop growing earlier tend to make up the difference in other places if you know what I mean. 😉

Does this thread need to be moved to L&R? 😉
 
varies for everyone, I think I stopped around 18-19... I remember coming home for summer break after freshman year of college and not needing to stand on my toes to reach the top shelf in my parents' kitchen.

I think was about the same. Haven't had to go up in any sizes in awhile so that's nice. I stopped pretty much right at 6'.
 
At 16, I was 5-6, 140 lbs.
At 18, I was 5-8, 165 lbs.
At 21, I was 6' , 180 lbs.
At 25, I was 6-1, 200 lbs.

At 50, I was 6-1, 210 lbs.
At 55, I'm 6' .5", 270 lbs.

 
I hit the top of the parabola around 14. Do more exercise involving your legs. I think I squeezed half an inch at age 22 from exercising like hell during the summer. Then again, it may have been a last gasp from years and years of very limited activity.

So you were around 20 inches or so until you were 17?

yeah, that's it.

I started puberty in and around 17 and my growth spurt stopped in the latter part of 18. I am 6'1".
