Girls stop growing at around 16-18...
Guys stop growing at around 18 - 20

I kept growing, even though I wasn't supposed to be, and it scared my doctor, haha. Anyway, some peopl edo stop growing at a younger age, its all really down to genetics.If your parents are short, you'll be short (generally, in some cases you could bemuch taller, due to 'hidden' genes).
So, the tallest you'll ever grow is to your full genetic potential. But most people don't grow to their potential due to other influences. Diet is one. Eat a lot of calcium and Vitamin D. Calcium help with bone strength, and Vitamin D helps your body absorb it. Also, try not to get a cold, or to get sick. If you are still growing, and get a cold, you will temporarily stop growing for the duration of the cold, so, stay healthy. :)

Duh you stop growing at age 18-21 years old stop worrying about a stupid question. If you want to grow some more just eat or drink more foods with calcium or vitamin D. Which will help your bones to grow which helps with your height issue.

of course you can still grow im twelve and im about 160cm so you have got a lot of growing still in you

You won't stop growing until you're at least 18, maybe 21. Smoking and coffee (supposedly) stunt your growth so stay away from those. Drink Milk!!!!

Yes, you're still growing. You'll get a growth spurt soon. don't worry. I did around 15. It may seem like a long time but it isn't really.
