Long research has shown that there is a certain age at which people usually stop growing: men - 25, women - 21.
I'm afraid your through growing. Now don't sweat the small things.
Pun intended.

Most people stop growing well before 24.
"Human children ... continue to grow for some years, typically reaching sexual maturity at twelve to fifteen years of age. Human girls continue to grow physically until around the age of eighteen, while human boys continue growing until around the age of twenty-one."

according to scince u are supposed to stop growing at 19. if u just recently stopped i consider u one of the few abnormal exceptions. if u grew any longner, u would be a freak. if u are short its just ur hieght, u cant do antying about it and it donest matter. it will be ok soon... belive me. the good thing is u dont gotta keep getting new clothes every now and then cuz u outgrow em. and every time u wirte ur hieght on a form u will be sure about it and not think that u might have grown since u last chekced.

because you don't need to grow any more...most women stop growing by the time they are 17 or 18, men by the time they are 20 or so.

Most people stop growing around age 19. You don't continue to grow for your entire lifespan.

Do you want to be a giant? Most, as said stop growing in their late teens.
