Define "grow".
The approximate age for completion of root formation for 3rd molars is 18-ish = fully grow'd up tooth. As far as when they will be fully erupted (out into your mouf) can vary a little, or a lot. Somewhere between 16 and 40 based on what I've read and personally seen.

Do you ask cuz you're in pain or curious? (either way come to my clinic cuz from the description, you're about 7 tortilla chips away from a raging pericoronitis...and it's preventable with a garden variety whiz-ectomy!)

Well I'm 18 and the bottom right wisdom tooth started to appear within the first week I turned 18, and now it is slowly starting to come out more, but it's still only like a quarter out. If I bite down it feels different on my bottom jaw around the molar area and I thought this might be because the wisdom teeth are pushing the molars or something... that's why I was asking because I don't want distorted teeth and it's not comfortable.

And by grow i mean coming out of the gum.

You should go to your dentist and ask him/her. They'll answer your questions and possibly refer you to an oral surgeon to have it evaluated.
