Is it too late to have a growth spurt?

Asked by ae_ninja about 1 year ago, 6 answers.

Ya, I'm 17 years old and I still haven't had a growth spurt. Is it too late for me to get one because I feel really short. And is there any way to get taller? I know that it's all genes but is there anything I can do to help my genes? happy

I read boys/men are usually done growing by age nineteen, but there's still a possibility you could grow a few more inches. I'm guessing you won't be over 5'10...but that's a decent height for a man. Don't worry! You're not short, just not tall...and that's okay!

you're on the shorter side...
but don't worry...most girls aren't over 5'5.

I'm guessing most girls won't really care.

I knew a guy in high school and at 15/16 he was(a probably still is) 4'11. Yeah. My dad is 5'7. You are fine. I dont think you'll get a growth spurt anytime soon.
Sorry.
