Am I still gonna grow?
i'm currently about 5'8" or so and 19 and i've been short my whole life.. i guess i'm normal size for an asian male but the thing with my body makes me question things.. i weigh about 140-145 varies almost daily but i look like i weigh 110.. i have exercised most of my whole life until senior year of high school when i had to quit most sports due to an injury... i eat a lot and still exercise from time to time but will i still grow taller? i look too skinny and now in college i feel shorter than everyone else... i've played almost any sport imagined throughout my life and in high school did JV Tennis and ran Varsity Cross Country/Track... started lifting junior year and haven't grown too much since then.... smoke yes... drugs yes a bunch before... still drinking now and then... am i still going to grow bigger and taller or is my body done? i take L-Arginine to help me workout and vitamins.... anyone got clues to what's going on? i wanna more to be tall =)

Below is an excellent entry about human height from Wikipedia. As you mentioned your use of drugs, including ETOH (or alcohol), it's evident that you're not doing the best for yourself in terms of self-care.

Things that we all need to do to feel best about ourselves are: 1-Eat healthy meals, starting with breakfast daily, including protein, starch, and fresh fruits and vegetables; 2-Get at least 7 hours of sleep every night; 3-Get a moderate 30 minutes of exercise at least 4 times a week (daily is even better). 4-Avoid chronic stress.

Healthy living will maximize your genetic potential. Don't reject yourself because you don't fit into someone else's idea of what you should be. Accept yourself as you are and take pride in that.

You've probably done most of your growing at this stage although the body keeps growing for a couple of years yet. I didn't stop growing entirely until I was 22. You'll find after that you'll be more likely to bulk out a little.

NO wonder your skinny....just LIFT WEIGHTS. That is all you
really need to do to get the look you desire. You don't seem to have a weight problem( gaining). So, stop burning off those extra
calories....and lift weights. You need to build your MUSCLE........
Plus, your finished growing, be happy that your not 6"5..!! I think
most girls like a guy justa little bit taller.
