Question

My dad is 5'11" and my mom is 5'2" and I'm 4'10" at 12 Years old. How tall will I be?

Community Answer

This is impossible to predict. Your final height will be the result of a genetic calculus that cannot be solved simply with the minimal data provided here, or at all, really. Even if the height of everybody throughout your family tree were given, the answer would still be impossible to give.

Not safely. Please don't try to force yourself to be taller, you could injure your spine or muscles.

I'd guess between 150-160 cm tall. It depends; boys are typically taller than girls.

My height is 5'8 now and I am 16. My mom is 5'5 and dad is 5'7. How tall will I be?

Community Answer

If you are 16, you are probably done growing. You might get an inch taller, but that is probably about it.

Question

What age will I grow until?

Community Answer

It depends on when you are finished with puberty, as this will vary from person to person. You will likely continue to grow until you are done with puberty.

Question

My father is 175 cm and my mother is 158 cm. How tall will I be as an adult?

Community Answer

You will likely by 5'10. Many factors are linked to one's height though, such as nutrition, sleep, exercise, etc., so no estimate can be guaranteed.

Question

I am a 13 year old boy. My height is 154 cm, my mother's height is 165 cm, and my father's height is 170 cm. I want to be 6'1 in height. Is this possible/likely?

Community Answer

Boys stop growing around the age of 16. You still have a lot of time to grow. Considering your mother is 5'5 and your dad is 5'7, and you are 5'0 at the age of 13, you might not be 6'1. This is just an opinion, anything can happen in a span of three years.

Question

How do I know if I'm short for my age?

Community Answer

Chart a growth chart for your age and gender. If you’re under the 50th percentile, you would be below the average height of your peers.
