I am almost 19, I have measured myself and I am 2/3 of an inch taller than I was last year. Listen to this though. I was 5'9 at 17 and 10 months , at 15 I was 5'8 1/2. Between the ages of 15-18 I only grew an half an inch. I though I was done growing, ( Dad 5.11.5 mom a little over 5'4). Now I all of a sudden I have grown faster in the past year than I have previously. I am a late bloomer though, but how come I didn't grow before when I was supposed to? My voice started cracking a year ago to.

If you are lucky you might keep growing until you are 20 or even 21 but it is uncommon and rare.
If you do keep growing hopefully you will get taller as well.

Some plateaus occur in growth. And hormone levels may be a little lower in your case, indicated by the later hoarsening of voice etc. In any case, it is unlikely that you will grow more, but do see a doctor just in case.
