Wasn't there some sort of definate age where people stopped growing all together? Was it 18? or 20? I cant remember.

    different for everyone.

    i stopped growing at 11.

    generally it's about 18 for girls and 20 for boys.

    It varies a lot between the sexes, females tend to stop before males.

    And virtually all people will have stopped completely by the age of 23.

    Yeah, I was 12. It depends on the person. If you're generally a slow developer in comparison with your peers you'll prob keep growing longer.

    *x*l'il miss socks*x*; are you from Braintree then? I had a mate who lived there, your right it is a truely horrid place. But I'm affraid that the worst place in the world is Erith, an unspeakably awful place in East London.

    I don't think there's a set age, it's not like you stop growing on your 21st birthday or anything :p

    I was 12 or 13 when I stopped growing. I was one of the tallest, til everyone else had their growth spurts and I've been the midget ever since :(

    Oh dear looks like someone got caught out. I thought that little kids only had imaginary friends, guess there isn't an age limit to that either :|
