Growth: most girls skeletal growth is finished by 16 yrs and most boys by 18 years. People slouch and they can improve their posture. If you want to call that growth then so be it but most doctors would not, they would just say that your standing up straight. If you had surgically correctable scoliosis then that would lengthen your spinal column.
