Did you grow taller after 17?

[Anonymous]

I'm 17 (0 months) year old guy and I'm 6'1¼" (186 cm) without shoes and weigh 163 Ibs (74 kg). Will I grow any taller? I wanna reach 6'3" (190 cm). What was your height at my age and did you grow any more? (No, I'm not here to brag or compare heights.)

I measured my height again. I'd say I'm not less than 6'1½" (187 cm).

I think I was about 185-186 cm when I was 17 and now I'm about 187 cm so I did grow a centimeter or two. Whether you grow or not varies from person to person. I know people who've stopped growing after 16 and I know people who's had a second growth spurt at around 20.

Thanks for the MH!

Yeah, I have grown a bit taller since then. It's quite common for male height grow to stop around age 22, though. So you might well make it to 6' 3" yet.

People I'm my family grew still in their early twenties, but not everyone does. Its a gene thing, my friend stopped at twelve while I tower over all my fully grown friends and Im still growing. But, you can have your doctor see if your growth plates have closed.

I wish I grew, but sadly I have been the same height, 5' , since I was in middle school and sadly I am already 23. My older brother is about twice my height and maintained his height starting from highschool. He's is 25 btw.

Twice your height? O. o
Like 10 feets :/

Sorry typo, I don't know what I was thinking lmao. Meant to say he's 6ft

I stopped growing at 16 I'm 5'5 and guys in my family stopped growing at 18 and their 6'0 and taller.
Hell my 12 year old brother is almost my height :'(

No, I stopped growing around then and I'm 6'1" now, just as I was at 17. Men have a longer growth period than women do though.

I grew a bunch in highschool, but maybe only an inch more after 17 (I'm 5'10" and 21 now). I know plenty of guys who grew at least 4 inches taller after highschool though.

I haven't grown at all since 17 but I know people that have. It's based on genetics man I think the best person to ask this question would be someone in your family.

i grew about 4 cm fat an age from 19-21 so i heard it´s rather common. i finished growing at a ridiculous 175 cm though :(

[theusernameisalie]

I wish I grew at 19... I'm under five foot without shoes on (by half an inch. ;.;)

Not much and that is a good height unless you want a couple inches to make it easier to dunk.

[plaank]

Yes. I grew approximately 3" from age 17 to 21.

[WhaChaChaKing]

A little but not a lot much to my disappointment.
