Is it possible to grow any taller at 19 (male)?!


Question:

Is it possible to grow any taller at 19 (male)?

All the guys in my family range from 5'11" at the shortest to 6'5 at the tallest except for my little brother who is 5'8" and growing fast. My mother at only 5'3 though is the tallest in our family, but I'm only stuck at 5'5.5". It sucks being short and it has played a role in my lack of self esteem for my whole life. I know quite a few people, some of which I know, have grown up to 4" at around 20-21 years old, but the last time I grew was from 5'2" to 5'5.5" when I was 15. Is there still hope? TIA for all responses.

also I look like I'm 13 years old, so maybe would it be possible to grow once I mature more?


Answers:

I also look young for my age by about 4 years or so. I can tell you it IS possible to grow in the late teens and early twenties because I had a 2 inch growth spurt when I was 19-20. Even if you don't grow anymore, remember that there are advantages to being of average height too!
