A member asked:
If you grew less than an inch last year then you are close to your adult height. but does that mean that i can still grow but i will just grow at a slower rate this time? is there a way to grow at a higher rate when you are close to your adult height?

No: Most boys experience growth spurt at age 14 and slowing of linear growth starts at age 16. You may grow further by 1/2 to an inch by age 20.
