anybody here know if its possible to grow any taller at the age of 20 and above? im just curious because i really do still wanna add at least a couple more inches to my height. the funny thing is lots of people keep saying its impossible while there are some say that it is. its kinda weird for me too though because i measured my wing span and its at 71 or 72.. i heard that your wingspan is suppose to be your height. but im only 5'8 or 5'9. 71 inch is like 5"11. does that mean i still havent finished growing yet or my growth spurth is at a slow rate.. btw my facial hair isnt as thick as it should be and im almost 21 on january.. ty to all the the comments. dont flame pls =D

You won't grow if your growth has ended, if not, you'll grow a little more and stop.

I have a bone thing where my bones age more slowly than my body. I am 15 and have the bones I should have had at 11. I will finish growing after 20, and end up about 6'1.

Whats with this post man. I think you meant to post it on WebMD or somehting. However I happen to be a a Mapler mayoring in the heath care area and for your information yes you could grow up to 21 years of age. Some young men see an increase in their height in their third year in college. But most bones fuse by ages 14-17. Keep in mind that tall people are more prone to joints diseases, bone mass loss and hypertension.

Some people can grow at that age. Otherwise, try extenze. That may or may not work out for you.

Males can keep growing up until late 20's but if you have started growing facial hair then you wont grow any taller, facial hair is the last phase of puberty. Sorry o_o;
