Gigantisme: If you are growing too much- more than expected, meaning that your parents are not tall, but you are very tall and continue to grow- your condition may be abnormal and you should go to see your doctor for more evaluation.

Accepted Answer

16-20 years: Most men finish their height growth by age 20 years. Rarely, there may be growth after that, & often growth is over before then.

Genetics plays a major role here, so knowing when related males finished their growth would help in predicting one's ultimate height.
