Most males reach their full height at around 18 but it is possible to coninue in your late teens to around the age of 21. The onlyway to tell if you are still growing is to have an x-ray of your long bones (femur, hunerus, etc). This will show if your epipheseal (growth) plates are still open. Once the plates are closed, you are done growing.

I was 5'11 when I was 18, 6'0 when I was 21, and 6'2 now. I kept growing until I was 23. It really is different for everyone, though I suspect mine is an unusual case. I also packed on a lot of muscle with very little effort to do so.
There really is no telling.

It depends. Some people grow until they're 21 or 22. To find out of you're still growing, you can get a bone age analysis from an x-ray. Ask your doctor about it.

well technically you are always growing. your ears and nose keep growing all your life. but for height... guys may still be growing at your age. guys start puberty later in their life. it all depends on the person. you'll prolly stop within the next few years if you havent already. if you want to find out ask your doctor at your next physical. most doctors have a height chart for you and they can tell you your expected height.

I stopped growing at about 10 years old.

My adolescent development textbook from college taught me that men can grow until they are 25. Their jawbones, feet, and hands can grow even later than that. And although your brain never stops growing, but a huge portion of development is still taking place until you are ~21.

It's different from person to person.
Men is later than women. I think men stop around 18-20...
