When did you stop growing?

I'm growing right now!
No! Bad Trekker!
I stopped growing at ~5'2" when I was about 11, which was the height I was expected to be as my mother is also 5'2" and my dad is 5'3"ish.
So, the upshot was that I got to be one of the tallest kids in class for about a year. Then people had these "growth spurt" things; apparently we don't get those in my family. Instead, we get migranes. Fair trade, I'd say.

No idea. A while ago, and I'm 20 now. So maybe 17?
On Marfan's, didn't Lincoln have that?

You're pocket sized!
I reached 5'10" when I was about 15, and have been like that ever since. Except for my manly belly, which continued it's inexorable growth unabated.
I'm one of the tall ones in my family - my mum is less than 5 foot tall, just like her 9 million aunties. At family parties I feel like I'm surrounded by hobbits.

I must've been around 17 when the direction of my growth changed from vertical to horizontal.
It is thought that Lincoln had it,but Egyptian pharoah Akhenaten as well at least according to a documentary I saw on TV. I remember reading that Mary, Queen of Scots is also believed to have had it.
I had already reached my full height of 5' 9" at age 13.
Strangely enough, my feet seem to have grown half a size in the last few years! Perhaps shoe manufacturers merely size them differently now...

^My feet have gone from a 5 1/2 to a 6 since college. I think it's because I spent a lot of time walking or something.
Seriously, xmas at with my family is like a trip to whoville.

On the height side I hit 6'2" when I was 12 and stopped. I've always been physically bigger then anybody I've ever known due to large bones and a barrel chest that one doctor told me he would be very afraid to operate on.
On the volume expansion side I hit 380 last June. Luckily enough I decided not to die by 30 and am now at 306.

Your nose continues to grows throughout life and if people lived to 200, they'd have to push their noses around in wheel barrows.
I stopped growing at 15 when I broke my back. So I stayed at 5'10 which makes me one of the shorter guys in my family. I was supposed to be a lot taller, but shit happens. I'm more than cool with my height.
15, 5'9".
Speaking of dysfunctional growing, my mother's cousin had a son who died about age 20 from giantism. He simply never stopped growing and eventually his heart gave out. When you're pushing 8 feet tall, your heart no longer can work as a pump, something to do with physics. This happened a couple years before I was born.
