About 5'8", and I guess I stopped growing around 17, but males supposedly grow until they're 25 (21 now), so I'm hoping for a little more height. I used to feel really self conscious about it, but then I learned that I'm the same height as Robert Downey Jr., so if people make fun of me, I tell 'em to take it up with Iron Man.

5'7. I'm 15 and I'm still growing, although I haven't had any growth spurts yet, so there's still hope...

The "you grow until" thing can be misleading.

Both genders' epiphyseal plates (growth plates) will usually ossify in their early 20's. 25 is more of a "by at least" measure.

I usually round to 6'. I haven't gotten much taller since before I was 18 or so. Which is good, I don't want to have to buy new pants.
