Hard to say: You don't identify gender.Most females quit growing taller by 16 and males by 17-18. The hormones that surge in puberty signal the growth centers to begin closing.Once closed, linear growth stops. Those with open growth centers can grow longer.An xray of the wrist and hand can show if some are open.
