I am 12 years old and 4 ft 11. It seems like i have not grown in about a year. I was just wondering at what age does a person usually stop growing in height? It feels like i am going to be this way forever! And i heard about those hormone shots you can take that are supossed to make you grow taller?! Has anyone ever had them before? And do they actually help?-Thanks...

>>>* Hey What's up Man, my friends call me Skippy. I know RIGHT where you are now, as I was once there, and I can tell you first hand that it is ABSOLUTELY possible to grow in height after you thought you were done growing forever. Perhaps my own story could be of some help to you...
My family has been in the aviation business since the 1960's. There has been pilots, engineers, baggers, stewards, and of course stewardesses. I never really had much of an interest in piloting or working as an engineer, but I LOVE the sky, and being on airplanes. I had already traveled to 12 different countries by the age of 21. So for me, being a Steward(flight attendant) was always my dream job. The only problem, however, is that there are height requirements for safety reasons. As I was exceptionally short in height- my college degree, and qualified resume meant nothing. I was denied my first job as a flight attendant because I was about 2 inches short of their requirements. This absolutely devastated me. I thought my dream had gone out the window. I was also embarrassed, it was sort of like not being able to get on a ride at an amusement park because I was too small. Which has actually happened to me, btw. Lol. But this was worse, this was my dream career, and future at stake.
At this point, I began scowering the web for help. First I tried seeing if there was a way, some way, to get around the height requirement mandated by airliners. The answer was a big fat NO. Once I had determined there was no way around it, I started feeling hopeless, and desperate. THAT'S when I started looking into the seemingly ridiculous idea that you could continue growing, even after you were finished with puberty. So, after hours and hours of research, reading countless reviews and testimonials, I did come across one website - http://www.growtall.pcti-system.com .. A natural height-growth program that caught my eye. Setting my inherent skepticism aside for a moment, I signed up for the site. Now, fast forward a few months after learning and utilizing all the material and support in the program, I actually grew 3 INCHES! That's no lie. Dead serious. I have since re-applied for the job I would have otherwise gotten if I had met the height requirement. They don't even believe me, lol! They have not set me up for another interview, but that's Ok. If not them, I will have my dream job soon with another airliner as this time I won't have to worry about coming up short. No pun intended! lol.
Anyways, I hope my story was of some help to you, and I wish you the best!

Girls will start their last "growth spurt" between 12-14, and generally stop growing by 16. However, your body will still continue to change for a few years beyond that as well. So, you have a few years to go yet.
My sister was not much taller than you at that age, and she is now about 5'8" or so.
Yes...HGH does work. It *is* the hormone that cause human growth. However, it can cause some damage if not taken under medical supervision. It is also *very* expensive.

I am seventy years old and stopped growing tall at the age of eighteen. Now I am starting to shrink. The law of nature for tells how tall or short you will become. Be patient with your body and think about enjoying life!

I think you'll probably grow more. And anyways, being short isn't so bad. I'm 16 and 5 foot even. You never had to worry about a boy being too short!
