Poll of the Day > how old were you when you reached your adult height?

(+) Yeah! (+)

i read that will smith has been 6'2" since he was 14. i remember being 5'7" when i graduated from the 8th grade and then 5'10.5" at 19. at 28 i am still the same height. i never really grew between the 8th grade and high school.
---

I reached 5'11" at age 15 and have stayed there.
---

5'11" is tall for a 15 year old. did you think that you were going to get taller?

the doctor estimated that i would grow to be 5'10", so he wasn't off by much. but he told my younger brother that he would be 6'2". my brother is the same height as me.
---

I don't really know. I'm pretty sure my driver's license I got at 17 said 5'10" and my license now says 5'11", but I'm really more like 5'10.5". That extra half inch was always there for all I know and I just used to round down instead of up.

I always wanted to be six feet tall. I thought I'd get there cause I grew a lot during HS and I've read before that guys can continue growing into their early 20s, but girls generally stop by about 18.

guys can continue to grow till 25 or something.

I want to see somebody in this topic say they grew like six inches from age 18 to 22 but then again they'd probably just be full of shit since there are pathological liars who post here

that's something that happens to a lot of players who are in the nba lol. like someone going from 6'0" to 6'6" in on year. i think anthony davis was a PG his freshman year but changed to center his sophomore because of that or something.

I hit 61 at around 17-18

Ive actually become an inch shorter since then, Im 32
---

how old are you now if you don't mind me asking. i know people shrink when they get older.
---

Not sure, but I'm an inch taller right now than I was at 19.

I was like 21 or 22.

I honestly hit my growth spurt around the end of grade 11.
---

17 or 18, I think.

That's insane
---

Almost 19.
---

Pretty sure I hit 5'10" around the time I was 13. I have stayed the same height since. I was pretty much the tallest kid in middle school, then throughout high school everybody kept growing and I stayed the same. I don't care though, 5'10" is close enough to average.
---

Probably 15 or 16.
---

I went from 5'3'' at the end of my sophomore year to entering junior year at 5'10''. I'm a little over 6' now, so I assume that happened during the next few years at some point.
---

Honestly, no idea.

I do know that when I got my license at 18 I was 6 feet, but when I returned to get it a new one (like 6 years after) they had to re-measure me or the height and I was 6"2.
---

I think I topped out at age 23, but my growth slowed down at about 15.
---

I reached my adult height of 5'9 at 17 but I'm still growing a little even now in university.
---

I'm not sure. I was 5'10 at 18 and assumed that was it. It wasn't until years later that it was measured again and it turns out I'm 6' now. Not totally sure when that that happened. Sometime after graduating high school though.
---

I think I was about 16.
---

Hmmm probably around 17 I was 6'1" and haven't grown since.
---

I'd say 17-18.
---

5 years old
---

I forget but 5'2" is my adult height.
---

14 or 15

edit - actually i ended up gaining an inch between then and 23-24
---

Im 63. I was at 6 around 16 years old, but I think I reached my peak around 18 or 19.
---

I got a full spinal-fushion when I was 13 and the metal rods are still there so I stopped growing from the waist up. I'm all leg, baby. I'm like a majestic gazelle.

I feel like I still grow little by little but I seem to be staying around 5'6" , though I haven't measured myself recently and I seem to have gotten a little taller since the last time I did...or everyone around me is shrinking...
---

I was 5ft 3in when I was 12 years old, and that's only an inch below my adult height. I didn't really notice when it was that I gained the extra inch - sometime between 12 and 16.

I was 5ft 2in by the time I was ten, and until I was twelve I was one of the tallest kids in my grade, of any gender - then everybody else started growing past me =P but I matured early in most ways, especially physical.

I got so used to being mistaken for a young adult as a pre-teen (and in my early teens, too) that I got into the habit of carrying my birth certificate in my school bag so I could prove I was young enough to pay kid-rate bus fare... I have a photo from when I was eight years old that I regularly use to freak people out because I look like a grown woman in it. Maybe I'm weird, but I find the shock on their faces rather entertaining.
---

5' 11" since 12 and was tallest in my year for 2 years, everybody else caught up by 16 though so that ended up pretty average.
