    I hit 5ft 11" at 13 and only grew 1/2" since then. I'm pissed off because I was always expected to end up around 6ft 6" with the rate I was growing, but stopped so suddenly.

    Before telling this to people, they are shocked to learn I played 2nd row for my town's U15 rugby team :)

    I stopped growing vertically when I hit 5ft11 at 18.It has since shifted to growing sideways,which has been rather fun.

    blah blah blah the usual 'oul crap outta Duffy. Sadly it's all been heading south like a slow mudslide since
    yadda yadda
    You're shrinking?!?

    Sadly, I mean the parts that filled out have been sliding south of late :(

    I was 5' 8" at 15. Now at 19 I'm 5' 9".

    I heard you'll stop growing at 21. I'll just sit around and see what happens.

    21 now, 5"10' or so, been steadily getting taller all through the mid-to-late teen years. Was a late-ish developer myself so wouldn't be surprised if I gained another cm or two.

    Well me personally when I finished in secondary school i was about your age and i was 5 7 and i am now 5 11 at 25 and my younger brother was about 5 8 and hes is now 6 1, So id say there is a chance youll get bigger but saying that, That was our growth spurt we never had when we were in school:D

    5 11" at age 13. Played senior gaa at the same age. Had to bring my birth cert to football matches as a child. I'm still the same height :-(

    Today I turned 5 11 at the ripe age of 18 years and 21 days. (November 25th)


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 343 ✭✭Amy33


    I stopped growing at 11, I'm 5'4".


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 201 ✭✭finipops


    Around 21 for me i think. I'm 5ft 9in but i say i would have been a big bigger if i hadn't smoked for a while during my teen years.(Glad i'm off them now)


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 445 ✭✭canonball5


    I was around 21-22 when i stopped. I'm 6'6

    Early 20's but everyone's different. I don't see why its a major concern you are the height you are. Is penis size related to height i wonder. Is that what you are getting at here? (Im not trying to be a a-hole im seriously just wondering)

    But dayuumm
    How quick did he grow? I know someone who grew like 5 inches in a few months and had to get some surgery and cant play football or anything now

    In second year when I was 14 and even third year I was one of the shortest in the year. Eventually I got to 6 foot 2. Was 15-16 before the first growth spurt and didn't hit 6 foot til I was 20. Always had the big build though and I'd say I stopped growing just about when I turned 21.

    i was 15 when i stopped growing im 6ft 5 , i was 6,2 ft at 11 taller than all my teachers leaving primary school :D

    and remember that old saying " act your age not your shoe size "
    well when i was 10 my shoe size was 12 :D snd currently a Uk15 shoe ,

    although to be honest id rather be 6ft 3 with a size 11 foot , its bloody impossible find clothes and shoes i have no selection i go in to shop do you have size 15 shoes , first they laugh and then when they realise im serious say "eh no" :rolleyes:

    as for clothes i cant find tops / shirts that are long enough its a PITA

    I've been the shortest in the year, every year, all my life. I'm 4' 11.5 and I stopped growing at about 14.

    I'm 25 and I'm still hoping for a growth spurt.:)
