A member asked:

I am 18 years old residing in india i am 5 feet 5 inch and my beard has not come yet i want to know that still i have a chance that my height grows?

Yes: Some men may be done growing by the time they hit 18, but there is a large minority that still have time to get taller, there is not much you can do about your height, it is tied almost entirely to genetics.
