1/2 the men in my family were very late bloomers, the other 1/2 were very early. I guess it evened out for me.

Somewhere between age 18 and 21. Measured freshman year of college, then gained 2 1/2 more inches by junior year.

That is interesting that you would stop growing at 13. Very unusual.

I don't remember the exact age, but I know I was out of high school for a while (6 months or a year at the most) when I measured my self and found that I had past the 6' mark to 6'1. I was very pleased!

Regarding stopping growing early, a guy I was in grade school and high school with was about 6'2 in 8th grade. He used to tower over everybody, including the teachers! But he only grew an inch in high school and ended up 6'3". He was way taller than me in grade school, but I had bigger feet.

I stopped at 14/15 - I was 6ft5 so everyone assumed I would be much taller, and I think that's where my fascination with taller people came from. By the end of the Upper Sixth (18 years old) 2 boys had overtaken me. Interestingly I had glandular fever (mono) and was ill for months and that's when I stopped.

Was a shock to me. Cause my dad being so short i was afraid i would be short but when i reached 5'5 and towered over my dad i thought i was gonna be tall to average. I LOVED that idea and than it all just stopped and i still ended up short...

I think mu fascination with tall people comes from my dad being so short. He was always picked up and tossed around by much bigger men and even boys. Was quite an experience growing up seeing him that powerless to other men and even young boys

For me, when I was 17. Grew to 5'8" and that was the end for me. My best friend, whom I used to be taller than until 16, kept growing until he was 19 and stopped at 6'2." He never let me forget how much I teased him when I was taller.
