Why did I stop growing then grow again after 2 years?!


Question: Why did I stop growing then grow again after 2 years?
Okay so I stop growing 2 years ago when I was 16 years old. Im 18 years old now and now people have told me I have looked taller and over the last 6 months I guess i've grown and inch. I don't understand how if I havnt grown in the last 2 years why am I growing again?

Answers:

Genetics rule - you cannot re-program genetics.
You will not finish puberty until at least age 21 - maybe later.
More growth could still be headed your way - nobody knows for sure.
You just have to be patient & wait to see what all develops.



People can have "growth spurts." I had a friend (a guy) who had a final growth spurt at age 23, when he gained another 1 1/2 inches. Having a growth spurt at age 23 is fairly unusual, but not that unusual at 18.



Because God doesn't like the way you've been dressing and thinks you need a new wardrobe! Dude you're still in puberty. It doesn't really end till your early 20's. Relax your fine.
