Did I stop growing? What can a teen do to grow taller?

@myleghurts101
If you are 5’9” at 18, you probably might only grow some.
Regarding your proportions it would be a good idea to ask your PCP. Don’t be embarrassed, it’s a valid concern.

I’m 5,6 1/2 I’m taller than my dad he is 5,6 my mom is 5,3 1/2 I was 5,5 1/2 last summer and I have small feet for my height and I have had a mustache for 3 years and starting to grow chin hair and all that. I have a weird build . My hands are big my arms are pretty big I have a wider chest and big glutes going down my calf’s are not the big and my ankles are small and small feet But I play sports and eat a lot I’m wondering if I’ll grow taller I’m 14.7 years old

Hello there! I am 14 year old male. I'm 5'7, my dad is 5'8, and my mom 5'3. In the past 5-6 months I haven't grew at all, not even half an inch, I'm currently 53,5 kg (116 pounds) for the past 5 months, I can't put weight. I sleep 9-10 almost every night, I do cycling, and I eat healthy, I take vitamins (D3, calcium, magnezium). I started my puberty at 12 years old and my height was 5'1.

How to increase Hight because I am 22 years old

Welcome @sunny0722, I'm not sure there is a whole lot a young adult like yourself can do to increase their height but I did find an article on the topic that offers some suggestions.

"About 80% of a person’s height depends on their genetics. After a person has reached adulthood, most tricks to increase height — such as good nutrition — will not work.
However, there are ways to appear taller and prevent loss of height, which is common as people age. This article looks at what determines height, how to prevent height loss, and more."

Have you discussed your height with your doctor to get a medical opinion?

Im a little concerned as well, for info's sake, i'm 17 (F), my mother is 5'7 and my father is 6'0, i've been 5'5 since i turned 14. I did get my boobs in and my period before most of my friends, and i struggled a bit with an eating disorder when i was 13 but it never got to a dangerous point. i go to the gym regularly, and i have a somewhat healthy diet (though my relationship with food is not so great still after all these years).. i am very insecure about my height.. is it possible to have a growth spurt this late? or am i just stuck at 5'5 for the rest of my life? also- i haven't been to the doctor since early 2024...

Welcome to Mayo Connect!
I understand why you are disappointed with your height since both of your parents are taller. Usually a child’s final height falls somewhere between the parents’ heights. However, there are other genetic factors too- heights of grandparents and other family members also play a role.
You mention that your puberty started before most of your friends did. At what age did you have your first period?
Onset of puberty can also be hereditary.
It doesn’t seem likely that you will have a major growth spurt at 17. It would be a good idea to discuss this with your doctor since this is important to you.

Hello, I'm a 16.5 year old boy. My parents are 6'2 and 5'5 respectively and I am currently 5'8. My twin brother (fraternal) is 6'. I grew four inches from 14.5 to 15.5 and have grown 1.5 inches since. Before that period, I never had a growth spurt. If this isn't enough information, feel free to let me know and I will respond as soon as I am able. Now for the question; Am I done growing?

bikingaround,
I am a mom of twin daughters, who are 45 yrs old now. They are identical twins. Give your mom a hug from me, I am so glad my girls are adults. Their growing up years were fabulous, terrifying at times, mystifying, inspiring and so very very funny and exhausting. I understand the merry go round she has and will always be on, with you boys.
Do you want to keep growing? Do you want to be as tall as your brother, dad? Do you and /or your brother play basketball, where height is seen as a major factor? Or another reason why your height matters to you?

Yeah, ideally I'd like to be around the same height or just a little bit taller so I don't feel dwarfed. All the men in my family are tall, my dad at 6'2", uncle at 6'3", and his father at 6'1". My mom's side of the family isn't quite as tall but my uncle on her side is still 5'11". While I don't play basketball, I do play soccer, a sport where height isn't the most important thing, but going ip against a defender who is 4 inches taller than you is a lot harder than beating someone at the same height, assuming their skills are around the same level. All in all, I'm okay with being shorter than everyone, but it would still be nice to grow another inch or two.
