A member asked:
I'm close to 5'7. turned 18 4 months ago, grown about an inch in last 8 months, am i still growing?

Difficult to tell.: But at 18, you have probably reached your full adult height. If you had delayed puberty and only recently started having a growth spurt, then you MIGHT grow a bit taller. Best advice is to be happy with whatever height you become and OWN it. If you are truly worried about it, you may see a doctor who can evaluate your development and determine better. healthtap.com/saurbornmd
