I'm 18 and I am 5'10", which I know isn't short, the thing is my dad is 6'3" my mom is only 5'2", but the doctor told me I would be at least 6 foot. Is there any hope for me to reach this even though I'm already 18?

My best friend got his growth spurt when he was 18. He grew from 5' 3" to 6'1", voice changed & he gained 30 lbs his Sr. year. He kept growing till about when he was 22. So the answer is yes it is very possible to grow taller after 18, males escpecially. Hope this helps u.

As I remember, it is "possible" to grow up until the age of 21, but - this would be very little. I think that for both boys and girls, age eighteen is pretty much it. Doctors offer their opinions, but that is it - opinions, not absolute facts, when it comes to projections. I was 5'7", but I have "lost" an inch over the years, so I am now 5'6". My father was 6'0", and my mother was 4'11"! What a difference!
