[Lugie]

I was just wondering Because Im 5'9 5'10 and my growth plates have closed. I think im small for my age I just want to know how tall you guys are thanks.

Turning 18 in a month

[That70sShowDude]

I've been 5'9" for a while and I've stopped growing too. Pretty sure I'm below average

I feel your pain

[mainguy]

5'10.5 or 179cm in the younger generation imo, anything under and you will feel a bit short (London).

i am 5ft9 i stopped growing when i was 14

[Greg1988]

I grew 1.5 inches at University (age 19-21), no idea why you guys are crying about your height at 18. Theoretically you could grow within the next few years.

You guys don't feel any pain unless your 5'2 and 18....yes it's a bitch.

[HiBaChii]

im 6'1....idk if my growth pl8s have closed yet but my mom is 5'10 and my dad is 6'1..i think i might get to 6'2..hopefully

[Exsert]

I'm guessing 5'9 is pretty average

most sites say 5'8-5'10

I was about to post that too.

****! I haven't really grown since 14 either!

OP Don't worry about your height too much. I mean there are loads of hot chicks under your height and you can still do all the cool stuff in life.

This is factoring in minority groups - hispanics, asians, etc... I'd say the average caucasian height in America is maybe 5'11''

As long as your taller than the ladies, it's all good bro.

[CaseyKono]

I'm of japanese, filipino, and hawaiian descent. I'm 5'8" i'm not sure if my growth plates closed. how can i tell if i'm done growing ?

[VTRunner]

im 6'1....idk if my growth pl8s have closed yet but my mom is 5'10 and my dad is 6'1..i think i might get to 6'2..hopefully

Same here. I've grown about a half inch since I got to college so I'm 6'1.5". I'm hoping I get to 6'2. Perfect height IMO

[CaseyKono]

also do squats put enough stress on your spine to make you stop growing?

no... it doesn't work like that.

[sefried]

based on factual data, the average height for a man in the US is 5'8'' tall. males dont stop physical maturity untill 21-24 yrs old.

[iceehockey21]

5'9-5'10 is the average without a doubt.

[juicydanglers]

it includes a stat for young white and black americans so you dont have to look at the minority groups

[CaseyKono]

no... it doesn't work like that.

is there any accurate way of determining when i'm going to stop growing taller though?

[J-Cubed]

No. It compresses your spine temporarily but it will not effect your height growth.

[J-Cubed]

When your growth plates fuse shut.

[Logan678]

i am 5ft9 i stopped growing when i was 14

dont aliens normally stop growing at 14?

[Lugie]

Sucks My plates have fused so young at 17 but I just had a herniated disc so that could have been a factor on my plates.

[kgzk111]

6 foot should be average

[BoxerJay]

I'm 16 and have been 6ft 5 for over a year tbh - Hope i don't grow any more
