A member asked:
Do boys grow much between 16 and 18?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
not much: By 16-18 most males are nearing the end of growth and add around an inch if that. Some who have open growth centers will grow more and may grow into their early 20's, but these are kids who had delayed onset of puberty and are experiencing catch up growth.
