I’m still annoyingly like 1-2cm shorter than my dad and in a couple months I turn 17 and I was wondering if any of you guys got any growth spurt of continued growing past 17 because I’m hoping I haven’t stopped so I can finally pass him
How many of you guys grew after 17?

I don’t think I grew much past 17/18 but being annoyed that you’re not taller than your dad is such a non-issue that you shouldn’t waste your mental space even thinking about it. Especially so over 2 cm. That’s basically the same height.
I did not finish growing until I was 21.
I did. In circumference, does it count?
I hit 6’ at like 13 and stopped growing entirely. My brother was about 5’10” at 17 and is now 6’2”. So it’s certainly possible.
After 21 I stopped growing horizontally.
After 24 my shoulders stop growing.
Am now 30, tummy still grows.
I grew like 1-2 cm between 17 and 21.
Edit: sleep well, eat well, do physical activities like swimming, running, don’t do drugs, don’t drink….
I had my last growth spurt when I was 18.
Came home for winter break Freshman year of college and suddenly realized I could reach things on the top shelf in my parents’ kitchen without standing on my toes.
Still capped out at 5’10, shorter than either of my parents, though.
I hit 6’1 at age 14, haven’t grown at all since. Frustrating, I was sure I was going to be at least 6’4 lol.
After pueberty, I was done growing.
I didn’t stop growing until I was 25. Every time I visited home from college my mom would bring it up. Don’t let genetics get you down. You can beat your old man.
i was fully grown (5’8” or so) by 16, my feet though… size 8 in highschool, they grew until i was probably 21, I wear size 11’s now.
I stopped at 14. Plateaued at 178cm which was actually decently tall for a 14 year old but I never got any taller. A mate of mine was shorter than me until we were 16. We’re 21 now and he’s now 192cm (about 6’4”).
Tragic.
you got some more years to grow, dont stress it buddy.
I grew taller up to about 21, broadened upto about 24
I stopped at 15, unfortunately. 172cm (5’8?) if you’re wondering.
In terms of height, not much. I did, but I mostly was done growing by then, but I was probably about 1cm taller at 20 than I was a 17.
I left home at 17 for college at 6′, turned 18 that fall and returned at Christmas at 6’3. I finished growing that following summer before I turned 19 and stopped at 6’5
