Ack, its killing me if I'm still going to grow. I'm 16 years old, I have grown maybe a quarter inch since my birthday in December. I'm six foot two, and assume I still have some growing to do. Is it possible I've more or less stopped growing early, it seems like it. If not, how much more do you think I'll grow? I'm going to get a physical in a week or so, what kind of questions should I ask my physician? Thanks.

You can go to a doctor and get an X-Ray of your wrist and your knee. All children have growth plates there and if you are still growing, then you will have what looks like a gap between your hand and your arm. If that gap is closed or almost closed, that basically means you are about down growing. And be thankful you got that tall. I'm 5'7 at 15 years old and I'll grow another inch at best. I have short parents : (

Yes you will grow. Men don't stop growing till they are 21. So you have time. Don't worry about it.

on average when boys reach 18 they stop growing. you might one or two inches to grow...very much depends on your gene...just look at the male relatives around you....
