Yeah, but height is more random than most genetic makeup. There are many short parents with tall kids or vice versa. I'm 5'7, hoping to go to at least 5'10 >.> At 15, turning 16 in May
If I actually feel like answering, I will actually give you a pretty decent answer unlike some people :)
Are you a workout noob? PM me! I can help ^-^

Cycle some estrogen blocking supplements, mostly derived from natural testosterone boosters. Estrogen causes the growth plates to close. But yeah, 21-22 is about the age when you'll stop growing height wise. The rest of your body will fill out until at least 30.

Most people stop growing at 16-18.
Those instances you hear of people growing into their twenties and 25 are extremely rare.
Also whoever said height is random is an idiot. It has a genetic linkage of over 90%. Meaning if your dad is 5'7 there is little to no chance of you ever touching 6'.

Old topic
This thread is really old but I want to add my 2 cents. I joined the marines in 07 at 68 inches, weighing 137lbs. 5 years later in 2012 I'm 70 inches (5'10) and 170 lbs. don't know where the growth occurred but in my final physical a little over a year ago they said I was 5'9. So there is always hope. Mom is 5'5 and dad is 6'0
