I thought 5'7-5'8 was average. O_o You seem to be at a perfectly reasonable height. I'd say there isn't much of a chance of you growing exponentially taller, but you could still put on an inch or so. This depends on when you started puberty of course. If you were an early bloomer I'd say that you aren't gonna grow much if at all. Conversely if you were a late bloomer then you are probably still...

Well there's not much you can do. If you are near the end of pubery, you probably won't grow much if any in height however, guys can grow into their early 20s from what I hear, but I wouldn't expect substantial height growth anyway. From 16- 18 and a half years of age (my current age) I've grown less than 2 inches in height. So I wouldn't expect too much, though that's my growth patterns and ...

Well 5'8" is average hight so no your not really below average. Most men continue to grow until they turn around 21 but it depends on when you started puberty. If you started early chances are you'll only get about a half an inch if your lucky but if you started late then you could get about 2 more inches. So I think from your age you can grow about .5 - 2.5 inches by the time your done

There are a few ways to help increase your height. The mighty "they" say that high impact joint sports such as running can really help with your bones grow. There are also many herbal formulas mostly they say that Vitamin D and Calcium are beneficial. Overall I wouldn't worry about it too much. Honestly it doesn't really matter but if concerns you that much you may still grow. apparently Kevin ...
