When do we stop growing?

Question

I'm 18 and just was wondering about this.. When do things stop growing? (Hands,legs,feet,face,etc?)
I know ears and the nose never stop, but I've heard everything else stops around 18 for women ?

Thank You :)

Answer 1

Scientific sources tell than women stops growing (mainly in height) between 16 and 18 years old. In my country (Brazil) one girl whom is my friend tell than the greater part of 16 years old women are young adults. My sister is 5ft 4 1/2in since 16 years old and now she is 26 years old. I don't know about the age when female adolescents turn into young adults in United States.

Answer 2

You heard right then. I'm only 16 and that is what I've read about a long time ago and that's also what everyone else has told me. Although, the only thing that never grows on your body is your.......eyes. You're eyes are the same size from the time you was a baby to now and they will still be the same size when you're old, older lol. A lot of people doesn't believe that because the skin gets all saggy around the eye and makes them close a little, and they think that there eyes shrink ha ha, but it is true that the eyes are the only part on your body that never grows.

I hope I was of some help. :)

Typically for women the average age is 18 while for men it is closer to 20 or 21. At that point, most of your growth plates have closed and your body's skeletal system has stopped growing. Your muscular system and other parts of your body (ie. breasts) may continue to increase as your hormones change into adulthood. Obviosuly there are always exceptions, but these seem to be the norm.

Answer 4

Females usually stop growing at 15 and males at 18 and often earlier and sometimes later.

Answer 5

18 to 22 or so for females I believe. Ive heard of young women in their early 20's gaining another inch in height, but I dont know how common that is. 18 is a safe figure.

Answer 6

It differs from guy or woman to guy or woman, and it is likewise genetic. Ask your mom whilst she stopped turning out to be. some end turning out to be at 14; present day analyze tutor that some can certainly proceed turning out to be bit with the help of bit until eventually age 25. as nicely, i think of your top is suitable as is, you're elegantly tall.

Answer 7

That is hard to say. I think everyone is different. Especially women. We have babies and our bodies go through a lot of changes with each baby that we have. First we grow up....and then we grow old

Answer 8

some when they reach the age of puberty..others due to some chemical hormones that are prevalent nowadays.. stops at the age of 20 to 25...

Answer 9

if your a woman, it all stops about a year after your first period.
For guys, the growth stops at around 21.

We never stop growing, but if we do, we will start to shrink since your getting older.
