I am an 18 year old male( turning 19 in 2 months) and I have grown 3/4 of an inch in the past year. However my growth as always kind of been steady, I never really had a huge growth spurt( peak was 2 inches in one year 14-15) At 5'8 3/8 at just 15 my growth pattern told me that I was going to be 5'11, well it never happened( Dad is 5'11 mom 5-4-5'5) Both of my grandpas were 6 feet). when I turned 17 I had grown only to 5 foot 9. I Thought I was done growing( even though I looked like a 14 year old without any hair on my face) Well when I turned 18 during last summer, all of a sudden my voice started cracking, started growing light facial hair, fine chest hairspimples all over the place and grew 3/4 of an inch to my current height of 5'9 3/4. I still have very oily skin and my voice still breaks occasinaly and my facial hair grows very slow. Do you think I am going to be one of those people who doesn't stop growing until 21 or I have stopped already? Has anyone hear experienced this?
Height question?
As a male, you will continue to grow until you are 21 so, yes, you could still get taller. However, none of us can predict how tall you will be. Your height is predetermined by genetics.
We also can't predict if you will have another growth spurt. Only time will tell but many experience a growth spurt toward the end of their growing time.
At almost 5'10" you are definitely not short so why even worry about it? Do you know the average height of a woman is 5'4" so you would tower over most woman. Enjoy who you are and don't worry about your height.
