I am 19 years old, and 5'6, I've heard most girls stop growing taller when they are about 18, and then I've also they stop growing at about 21. Do you think its likely for me to grow about 2 more inches?

It's possible. Alot of it depends on your genes. If both your parents are tall you have a greater chance of this happening. If both parents are short then your chances are not likely to cause you to gain two more inches. Just remember that no matter how tall or short you are the important thing is to be yourself. Size doesn't really matter--I've seen short people be able to slam dunk a basketball just as well as a tall person.

Average height for an American woman is about 5' 4"...I'd say your chances of growing another two inches in two years are less than zero. There's no value in being two inches taller.

nope, I don't. I believe your done. As you've said, girls only grow until about 18. Guys on the otherhand, grow until about age 21, lucky dogs!

A very amusing way you ask the question.
You are asking if you will "grow taller, heightwise"?
Think about it. :)
hehe
Have nice day

I grew an inch somewhere between 19 and 20. It happened so gradually, I almost didn't know it!

I think you just have to be contented. I am only 4'11" but I am happy for who I am...
5'6" is not bad for a female.
