hormones dear... women stop growing up until at the age of 20, while men stop at 21. but it also really depends on your family history. after your first period you'll experience the growth spurt in puberty, but growth spurts in men start later. like at 16 it may begin up to 21 or so. nonetheless, as i have mentioned, the genes also have something to do with it. ^_^ PS. dont forget to rate and comment! thanks! ^_^ happy MYLOTTING! =)

thanks to the ideas shared, will take it then and more or else nature has something to do with it. But the latest studies that scientifically height of either men or women can be increase through taking up a kind of medicine. I think, I should be contented to what i am having is a gift.

I can think of only one reason, your growth hormone has stopped functioning or already exhausted. I can relate. During my first four years in elementary school I was growing up so fast until I reached my fifth grade. I just stopped growing. I was very sad. So this height of mine has been pretty much the same since I was 11 years old and I'm only 4'10.

thnks for your ideas, I guess that you're right to say that there's a certain level of humans growth that stopped its function, reason don't know why. I think its merely nature that we're all need to accept to.
