At what age do people really stop growing?!


Question:

At what age do people really stop growing?

I'm really cofuse. My biology teacher told us that we stop growing at the age of 21 but some people say girls stop growing at the age of 18 and boys at the age of 21 etc. I don't know which is which. So please help. ty


Answers:

From what I've learned, it varies between 16-26 for men and 13-21 for women... That's a very wide range, but generally, it is 18-21 for men, 16-18 for women... However, it seems that the later the age, the less the growth is, but you are still growing vertically nevertheless... So if you want an even more precise answer...
Men- 21
Women- 18
Your Bio teacher may have meant that only boys stop growing at 21.
