A member asked:
Can a average 16 year old grow an inch more?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Yes: Adolescent growth is tied to puberty. Typically for girls puberty is from 10-17 and for boys it is from 13-19. Once puberty is over, growth stabilizes. Depending on the height of your parents (genetics) and in the absence of any severe childhood diseases you will grow to be at least the height of your same gendered parent.
