I am having problems and questions about my growth

Post your question: Some general thoughts... if an older teen has not grown in the past year, then growth has finished. Most people reach their maximum height in their late teens. Without nutritional problems or chronic childhood illnesses, height is largely based on genetics and parental heights. Aside from eating right, exercising, sleeping well, and being happy, there's not much one can do to increase height.
