Im only 19 but ive slouched my entire life, my back and my neck are in chronic pain and it hurts to stand up straight, can slouching cause scoliosis?

No it can't: Slouching does not cause scoliosis but scoliosis can cause slouching. Physical therapy may help both your slouching and pain. Please see your doctor for a referral.
