Men 18-21, girls 14: Most men stop growing around age 18- but occasionally some will grow until age 21 or so. Women stop growing about 2 years after they start menstruating. Our height is mostly determined by genetics but taking measures to increase your production of growth hormone can maximize your potential. See http://bit.Ly/1cyctlq.
