Depends on genetics and when you started puberty. Personally, I started puberty relatively early, probably stopped growing around 15-16 lol. I was premature though and my dad is Portuguese (they're pretty short people) so hence why i'm 5'4.
LOL are you kidding me man? The vast majority of the population are done before 18 years old. It's relatively uncommon to grow much older than that, especially in the 20s.

Yes, of course there is a great deal of variation, but i'm speaking in terms of the "norm". People who grow that late typically have had some sort of growth hormone deficiency or something that has caused that latent growth. From my personal experience (I'm 22 so most of my friends are in the early 20's now) most people are done growing by 18, although as i said there is a great deal of variation.

as stated previous, you an grow into your 30s. hell, if you choose to manipulate your hormones and chemicals you can grow indefinitely. as noted previously it is all about the growth plates. if they have not "hardened" then they can keep adding more deposits to the end to lengthen the long bones. Girls stop growing first... why? estrogen. estrogen is the leading reason for growth limitation. Read a lovely little research piece where a group of 9yo boys were given AIs and SERMs and monitored them from 9 -21. those that were on both the AI and SERM grew over 4" on average larger than expected due to genetics and parental growth.
granted there is much more to it than just estrogen, but plays a huge role. sadly at your age you are pretty much near your max for the most part, but depending on your endo system products, you could have a favorable composition of chemicals that would allow a longer growth period. That being said, 5'7" and taller is good in my opinion. I do not wish I was taller at all. EVERYTHING is made for a 5'9" person. every car, motorcycle, amusement park ride, safety device, etc is made for YOU as a set of specs. Besides, taller people do not live as long :P
