Growth in height question

---

Up to what age do men usually grow?? im 17 and 6'4" and im wondering if i might still grow an inch or two.

Sometimes men can grow into their early twenties, but most of the growth is during the teens.

Why would you want to get any taller??! 6'4" is bloody huge, I'm pretty sure you look down on most of the poeple you walk by on the street!

He never says if he wants to be taller or not, he just asked if he might. He may be worried about it, and think the same as you that he is "bloody huge."

There are "growth plates" in growing bones where the growth takes place. At a certain age, which can be from mid-teens to early twenties, the plates fuse and growth stops. It's possible to tell if that has happened by X-rays.

well, im 15 and im only 5'4! pray for me getting taller

im 14 and im 6FT 2, and i want to kep growing but i dont want to be like my friend who is 14 and 6FT 10 and no .... im not joking.

does your friend have some kind of growth defect that makes him actually grow more. 6'10 is not normal for a 14 year old i don;t think. well, and that case neither is 6'2. maybe you meant to say 5'10 instead of 6'10. maybe youve got the 5's and 6's mixed up from when you measured your height.

and now that ive read the other peoples heights abouve i definatly do not believe you unless you have a growing enhancement dissorder and so does your freind. if its true tell the news channel and get on the news or the book record. or you could have broken the record for the tallest lie.

I personally know someone who was close to that height at 14 (yes, I knew him when he was 14). His mother was 5'9", and his father was over 6'. It's not that hard to believe. I also know parents who come from tall families...the wife is over 6', and the husband is about 6'6". The had a son who was the height of (at least) a 5-year-old when he was barely 3. I assume he will be very tall when he is 14.

2 freinds who are 14 who both seem to be skyscrapers and taller than most anyone and their wanting to grow taller, it just doen't seem right

wanting to grow tallerIt's kind of like small-framed women who aren't satisfied with augmenting their breasts to just a single D. It seems like more is always better.

there are more our size and age we are basketball players.
maybe that will help you believe more, my dad was 7"1 and my mum was about 6 so, hopefully this cleared your disbelife (sp?)
