Ya... tryin' to figure out if Im done growing.. any cases of people growing after 19 yrs old? I've tried some online height calculators and I think Im done growin' at 5'9 :( What about you?

simple one (told me I was done growing haha):

more complex one:

what are your results?

The first one told me that I was going to grow an inch. The second one told me I wasn't going to grow. It doesn't really matter to me though. I'm satisfied with my current height.

I am due to grow 3-4 inches. I am currently 6 feet (72 inches).

you're only 19.. an inch could happen.. my bro is a year older and he grew an inch or two at like 20 haha

The first one told me I was gonna grow 3inches. And the second one said I wasn't gonna grow anymore.

John, forget online calculators.

Growth=genetics (look at the height of both parents) + bone age, only to be determined by an X ray of your hand.

At 19, though, the odds of additional significant growth are slim.

True... maybe I should get the hand xray haha, just kiddin

Haha that's true. But, in my opinion, there's not much of a difference between 6'0 and 6'1. So I suppose it doesn't really matter.

The first one said that I'm already taller than it thinks I should be (this is probably because my mom is 5'2" and my dad is 6'2", but it doesn't understand that I'm more like my dad in the height department)

The second one said I'll grow another 0.4 in, so my adult height would be 5' 8.4" (why can't they just round up? haha)

my doctor said i was done growing at 5'3 now im almost 5'6
