I know that everyone grows differently, but I was wondering how old everyone was/is when they stopped growing. Also, i'm 16 (gonna be 17 soon) and I was wondering if anyone else got any taller after they were 17??? I'm currently 5'3". Think i'll get any taller?

I've heard of girls getting taller after 17, not much though and girls usually quit at 18 if anything, I stopped growing when I was 12 and i'm 21 and i'm 5'1...Impressive huh........I was the tallest girl in the 5th grade then everyone else started growing......

Ive been the same height since I was around 12 also... I heard you only grow for another year or 2 after you get your period, but I dont know, everybody is different.

Ahhh! That sucks. I hate being short. I wish I was at least 5'6". Everytime I buy pants they are too long and i'm always so much shorter than my boyfriend. My mom is 5'4" and my dad is like 5'7"....But my brother is only 14 and he's 6'2"!!!! Then there's short little me at 5'3". My brother got the tall genes! I guess he got them from our great grand parents cuz they were both pretty tall...At least 6 feet.
