Height: At 20, most women have stopped growing taller. Height is a genetically determined trait, and not something changed with a pill or potion. It may be wise to accept yourself as you are and not worry about things you cannot change.

Unlikely to happen: Some kids continue to grow taller into their late teens or rarely early twenties but only when their bone maturity lags behind their age. If the growth centers of the long bones have fused, you cannot grow taller. A single x-ray of the wrist ; hand can yield a bone maturity. When you have reached bony maturity, you are done.
