at age 20, more likely no. dont worry though. im same height as u and im 25. most of my male friends are short too (one is 5-2) and of course i have a lot of short female friends (under 4-10, 5-0, etc).

It depends on the person really. I know it is different for women than men. Women normally stop growing earlier. Guys can keep growing until their early 20s. You won't gain a lot of height though - maybe a couple of inches tops.
Being short is not a big deal though. A lot of movie actors are shorter than they look. They fit on the screen better that way.

At 20 years old the odds are definitely against you. The standard rule for girls if I remember correctly is around 2 yrs after their cycle begins they stop growing taller, but for boys it maybe different. It looks as if you are the anomaly of your family.

do not difficulty, you will possibly have a advance spurt quickly. you do not end turning out to be until eventually finally you're approximately 21. i'm 15 and 6"a million' yet whilst i replaced into 12 months 6/7 i replaced into between the smallest in my 12 months. some human beings in basic terms strengthen speedier than others clearly :-)

My cousin Scott is still growing, and he is 25... It just depends. You could just be short. I would always laugh it off. I'm probably going to be freakishly tall (my grandma is 6'1, my dad is 6'0, my grandpa was 6'7, and my uncle is 6'4. My mom is 5'2 and I am 5'5) Just deal. And laugh it off. And don't wear man-heels. that's just wrong.

At 20 you will not grow much more if at all.

I'm sure there is still time and space for you to grow. I think your growth spurt is just late in coming. Keep smiling - You'll be tall soon!

You won't grow significantly anymore. If you do, it may be an inch or less. Don't expect to be as tall as your mom or dad.
PS. There's no such thing as 5'12'' :)

i know some guys who grew after high school....but you might just be short...
if it really bothers you then you could start wearing heels....but that might not work so well. so you might want to act "over-hurt" when they make fun of you...."why would you say that?" it might make them feel uncomfortable and stop.
