How can I verify that my growth has been finished?

[Anonymous]

Sometimes i get sick of this!

I feel jealous of people eating ice-cream and i cannot eat because i'm afraid that i'll grow taller because it has a lot of milk in it. Or i cannot eat a burger if it has cheese in it, etc.

Unfortunately milk cannot be avoided because it's contained in many products, but i try to consume as less calcium as possible.

As well as for my hours of sleep, i sleep only about 5 and half hrs, because i hear that getting a lot of sleep will help your growth. But i feel like sh*t during the day sometimes, and i end up falling asleep in my chair.

Generally i do my best to stand my growth

I haven't grown up in height since 16 (i'm 23 now), but i hear various rumors that men can grow till the age of 25, so i'm very afraid that i might have a late growth spurt, and grow another 1 or even 2 inches which creeps me out.

But on the other hand, i can't go on like this, having a constant fear that a food might contain a lot of calcium and make me taller. imagine that i feel that if i drink a glass of milk, then i'll grow an inch taller

Wait until you're 30. If you feel you've grown too much, wait until you're 60.

If you haven't grown since 16, and you're 23 now, you stopped growing at 16. And I think you're misusing the concept of bones fusing.

People can indeed continue to grow in height until 25, but those are people who started puberty really late.

There is no sudden growth in adulthood, except for what happens when a man thinks of a special someone. Slow growth in adulthood includes carcinomas, beer bellies, and increasingly dangly earlobes.

yeah but how can i verify that my growth has ENDED?

[cheeseburgermafia]

You stopped growing at 16.

...

There is no sudden growth in adulthood.

You're done. End. Finito.

Continue your growth in wisdom.

I WISH SO, but i just can't play if i'm not 1000% sure. height isn't funny. 1 inch more will totally destroy me... however another 2 inches

[cheeseburgermafia]

I suggest you see a therapist. It appears that you have a body image issue.

[Asker]

almost everyone does

I'm 1 cm taller than you. trust me you want to grow taller it's so hard to get girls at this height. Grow if you can. milk doesn't work drunk heaps of it trying to grow. Your growth is over at 23. I don't know anyone that has gotten taller at the age of 25 no one at all. Usually 18 19 max is about it

[Asker]

OH NO... i don't give a damn what girls like... they can go to hell i don't care. do you read my opinions? if you do then you'll know why i don't want to grow taller! and i don't wanna hear again about that girl likes taller guys, etc. IT MAKES NO SENSE TO ME

[Opinion Owner]

It makes no sense to me either I'm just speaking from experience. I haven't read your opinions though.

[Asker]

ok then but if you do then you'll know why.

[PianoChopinCharmaine]

How tall are you? You're the first guy I know that doesn't want to grow taller! (I have the exact same problem, dont want to grow taller in case I look like a utility pole I'm 162cm) but then I think you might stop growing at 25. That goes from experience. Seeing all my family friends who are guys they stop at 25. :)

[Asker]

i'm 5'7". ok i know that you'll say that it's strange at my height that i don't want to grow taller, but if you're reading my opinions then you will know why i don't want to be any taller. in fact i already consinder myself tall.

and it's not that funny that i might grow at 25... but still i want to verify if my bones have been fused (as i know you'll stop growing once your bones have been fused or sth like this)

[Asker]

i must take control of that beast called "genetics" i won't let them allow determine how tall i should be!!!

[PianoChopinCharmaine]

Around 170 cm... I see. It's normal. I also don't want to grow!! >_< You should not take any peanut root soup. Also don't do jump rope. Just some Chinese beliefs for growing taller. So I reversed them! :)

[Asker]

i don't do them as well so... am i safe?

[PianoChopinCharmaine]

At least it will prevent any further growth :)

[Asker]

that's good then, i don't want to grow any taller, i already consinder myself tall

[JulieXO]

I don't think you're gonna grow any taller in your 20s. Also, what made you believe that milk and sleep increase your height? I drink milk and I get more than enough sleep, and it hasn't helped me XD

[Asker]

that's what i read on the internet. it's not milk actually but calcium. but when it comes to calcium milk is the first thing to come in your mind

[Franitz]

Seriously dude, seriously? But if your'e not joking then you have to know that most of what you said are made up stories. Why would you not want to grow even taller anyway?

By the way not consuming milk is bad for your health.

[Asker]

do you read my opinions? if you do, then you'll know why i don't want to

[Asker]

and you know what? i stopped drinking milk for 2 years and i'm ok

[cheeseburgermafia]

Not consuming milk is perfectly healthy. As long as you're getting your nutrients elsewhere, the only downside to not drinking milk is that you might become lactose intolerant.

[Asker]

i don't give a sh#t about nutrients anyway i'm not a helth-freak

[Execu]

Don't see many guys grow past 16 haha.

[Asker]

are you sure?

[Execu]

I can see thy future.

[MisforMarion]

You're 23... you're done

[Asker]

how are you sure? i need to verify this. height isn't a funny thing you know.

i wish as well that i'm done, but i must ensure this

[MisforMarion]

Most men stop at like 21 but rarely very rarely it can go on until they are 25 but you have to keep in mind that height growth is a earlier stage of purberty.

[Asker]

ok but my question is... where can i verify it?

[MisforMarion]

Google it dammit. Or you could go to the doctor get a x-ray of your knees and then the doctor will inform you whether or not you growth places are shrinking. Also if your parents are shorter then you as of now then you could be done.

[Asker]

my dad has died but he was 5'9" which means he was 2 inches taller than me. my mom is 5'3" now but she was 5'4" when i was born. she lost an inch bcause of osteoporosis. but what my parents height has to do with me?

[MisforMarion]

Everything, everything about you i from your parents because their genetic code is the blueprint for what you are. since you father wasn't very tall and you mom
Is short you will definitely not grow anymore. Also I'm sorry for your lost.

[Asker]

i just wish one day we can control genetics. just this. i pray for this everyday

[MisforMarion]

Me too I'd be 6'5" in a height beat

[Asker]

and i want to be 5'2" in fact. if you read my opinions then you know why i want. so you'll be 6'5" i'll be 5'2" and we'll be happy as well as many other people

what a peculiar man
