Question

I'm 5'9 and wiegh 110lbs. People call me a twig not eneretsic. I'm 14. My Dad is 6'1 And I want to be taller than him. He says im not but I think I will. What do you think?

Answer 1

There is a very good chance you can make it to his height or taller, especially if your mom is tallish.

You are rather skinny though.

Answer 2

Nobody can predict how tall you will be.  Each person's chemical makeup is different.  Genetics sometimes play a role in growth.  Your height at age 14 is OK.  You need to put a little more meat on your bones.  Get up an hour early each day & take a brisk 30 minute walk & do it agiain in the evening to get a little exercise.  Try to eat a balanced diet.  Stay away from junk food & fast food restaurants..  You have at least 6 more years of growth potential left.  There will more than likely be several growth spurts along the way.  Why do you desire to be taller than your Dad?  You really need to concentrate on studying hard in school to get a good education & enjoy your teen years while you have plenty of time.  Your gradual growth will come when you least expect it.  Accept what God blesses you with & enjoy life to it's fullest.

Answer 3

you should do because when i was 14 i was only about 5,8 and now I'm 6,2 now and I'm 17 but you do seem skinny

Answer 4

you are genetically pre-programmed as to what you height will be, but by eating right and exercising you will reach you maximum height.  You are quite thin, this may be genetic too.  Do you eat a healthy balanced diet?

Answer 5

dude you will be taller than him,I am 15 and I am 5'11 or so,and my dad is 6'1. You will be.
