Can you still grow after 18? (I think I hit puberty late)
My dad is 5’11, mom 5’5 and me 5’8 after just turning 18. I think I hit puberty late because my voice started getting deeper close to 15 and my facial features look like I could be 16. I always get mistaken for a younger age. Going into highschool I was 5’ ft and was always shorter than my peers. Sophomore year I gained 4 inches, junior year I was 5’7 and 18 now at 5’8. So I just want to know if I could reach 5’10 at least and if it’s possible to grow after 18.

I am 18 years old and 5'5" with full body hair, I hit puberty most likely at 12 but never grew after 14 and hit one growth spurt. My hands, legs, wrists, ribcage all never changed since. I had a voice change and grew hair normally but its only bone structure that stopped growing so early, my mom is 156cm and my dad is 172cm. I don't believe I had signs of hormonal imbalances but its my bones that feel wrong and abnormal and it still gives me the 14 year old look at 18, can it be genetic or some problem my parents didn't know about
