Question:

My son is nearly 18 and he is already 6ft 4in tall, i was wondering at what age he will stop growing? there is

no one in both sides of the family who was this tall as far as i can remember, im 5ft 51/2 and his father is about 5ft 10. will he stop growing soon or has he some way to go yet?


Answers:

we're supposed to stop growing at around 21. that's for boys. 21-22. now girls stop a little sooner. at around 18-19 we're pretty much set for life.
don't freak out :P, this doesn't mean that he'll just get taller.
he could stay the same height over the next couple of years but fill out, have his back structure broaden, etc.

i'm 21 and i'm 4'8", so lady, your son is LUCKY.
the bus goes by and actually sees him standing there, unlike some person i know (aheeem...).
