Height is an important factor in daily activities, especially for high school graduates (high school) and job seekers. This is because many agencies and universities use height as one of the entry requirements. In fact, some people say it is difficult to increase height when you are in high school. So why doesn’t height increase in high school?
Height is said to stop increasing when a person has reached a certain age. This can be one of the factors causing height not to increase during high school. The height of the human body grows according to age, the older they are, the taller their body structure and posture will be. Although, in some cases, their height does not grow as tall as they should, there are also those who actually grow much taller than their age.
Growth in height will stop when the age of puberty ends, which is in the age range of 14-16 years depending on when puberty begins. Besides age, there are a number of other aspects that can affect the natural growth of height.
This article will review complete information regarding the reasons for not increasing height and stopping at high school age, starting from influencing factors, the maximum age for growth to tips on increasing height.

However, height growth in humans can still increase until the age of puberty. When the age of puberty ends, that is, at the age of 14-16 years (depending on when puberty begins), the growth in height will also stop. This is caused by a number of factors such as loss of minerals, decreased muscle mass, increased body fat to thinning joint cartilage.
