Question: Do you guys consider that 5'9 is a short height for a 18yo guy?
can i still grow a bit more?

Answers:

Actually if that is your real measure, taken barefoot, you are slightly above average height. 5'8.5" is average height in the USA. Slightly higher in Europe with some countries quite tall. Nearly all guys are fully grown in height by the time they reach 18 which is why 18 is considered "adult". Very few guys grow to age 21 or older.



You got what you got - and there's nothing you can do about it.
Genetics rule - you cannot re-program genetics.
You cannot MAKE yourself grow taller.
You will not finish puberty until at least age 21 - or later.
More growth could be headed your way - nobody knows for sure.
You just need to be patient - and wait to see what all develops.



According to the National Center for Health Statistics, the average height for an adult male in the United States is:
69.2 inches, or
5 feet 9.2 inches



5'10 is average.
Yes, Puberty Ends At 21.



Your're done growing
