Well, speaking only of growing taller, its probly different for everyone.
This came up when I did an "Ask Jeeves":


"This all has to do with trends in human evolution and is a very very complicated question... ok the average is like 30 for most americans but it depends on ethnicity, ancestry etc. if you haven't grown as tall as your peers, look at your skeletal STRUCTURE, not just your height. forget about height. if your bone structure, look especially at your head (is it more or less like that of an adult male , as compared to your peers) it could be because you are a late bloomers.
late bloomers are actually at the height of human evolution, and you should be proud of it... the whole trend in human evolution has been towards increased intelligence, and this is done partially by estending the third growth phase (as well as the other 3 stages) which is the stage where the brain is the only thing that develops. this is basically childhood before and during puberty. stage 1 is brain growth in the fetus... check with your mother if you were born late. if so, that probably means you are indeed a person that has his life phases extended, and you should be glad because you're more evolved (and will have not only a longer childhood but a longer life.). enjoy.
