People stop growing when their bones stop growing and that is usually when they are between 15 and 25 years old. Although bones look lifeless, they are living and changing all the time. The bones of a baby are made up of a rubbery but soft tissue called cartilage. As the baby grows, the cartilage turns to hard bone. Only the tips of the bones remain soft and continue to grow. When the growing period is over, the ends of the bones close together and the person stops growing. Unlike the rest of our body, the stiff portions of our nose and ears are made of soft cartilage which does not harden onto bone. That is why ears and noses continue to grow throughout our lives. The next time you see an old man or woman, look carefully - do they have somewhat bigger noses and longer ears?
