Why my height is not increasing at 15?
The reason why your height stops increasing is your bones, specifically your growth plates. The growth plates, or epiphyseal plates, are areas of specialized cartilage near the end of your long bones. This loss of height during the day may be up to about half an inch (1.5 cm) ( 14 , 15 , 16 ).
Can I still grow at 20?
Although most adults won’t grow taller after age 18 to 20, there are exceptions to this rule. First, the closure of the growth plates may be delayed in some individuals (36, 37). If the growth plates remain open past age 18 to 20, which is uncommon, height could continue to increase. Second, some suffer from gigantism.

What can I do to increase my height if I’m done growing?
You can’t really do anything if you are done growing which is likely for both males and females. Exercise does not increase height. It keeps you healthy, but only HGH can make you taller and even that can’t if your growth plates have sealed. My advice is to accept your height for what it is.
Can too much exercise stop you from growing taller?
There is one more reason why too much exercise, training, or sports can slow down or prevent height increase, and that is injury or trauma to the growth plates, which are the ones responsible for producing new bone tissue. The growth plates are capable of producing new bone tissue only for a limited period.
