    Did anyone grow taller in their early 20's?
    Hey everyone, I was just wondering if anyone grew taller in their early 20's? Because I'm 19 and I'm still hoping for maybe a couple of inches more. =P

    The only thing that determines this is your feet. If they have stopped growing, then its very very very unlikely that your going to grow anymore, sorry

    Everybody is different! I think after 8th grade I stopped at 5'7 3/4" but of course now I think I'm at 5'7 1/2"

    My son however gained some inches between 18 and 22 and so far topped off at 6'1"

    I have a sister in law who is my height, but everytime I look at her, I am convinced she is 5'11" because of the way she holds herself. It's all in the attitude for some.:)

    Yah, being at 5"10 I feel a little shorter than most guys. Does those growth supplements they sell on the internet actually work? =P

    My husband is or was 5'10" when I met him. I think that is an average height for a man.
    You need to stick with what you were born with. I have never heard of growth hormones making some one taller.

    You are only 18, wait a while and see what happens. Boys/Men shoot up sometimes, my son did. One minute I was looking down and the next looking up!:eek:

    My brother did,not by much but he did.He took on a few inches.

    I guess they say it doesn't happen statistically but I beg to differ.

    Bottom line,my eldest son is 5'7,which he had an issue with but he is a bigger man than a lot of six footers I know.He now gets it ,he is 29.Don't wait that long!

    We all have to learn to accept who we are and our genuineness !
    Please do so ,you will free yourself if you do! :)
