How do you know you are growing tall?

Question

Hi,

I just turned 17 last May and I am around 5'8-5'9 ish 176cm. I am the only child, my dad is around 5'10-5'11 ish and my mom is 5'4. My mom side of the family are all tall, and my cousins are at least 6' and cousin girls are at least 5'7. I haven't had a BIG growth spurt. I think i grow at least 1 inch an year, maybe 2. Will i reach 6' ?? my younger cousin had a growth spurt and is 6'. taller than me now! I feel short...

i feel impatient...

i also eat healthy and workout (include some moderate lifting) I have a pretty well shaped athletic body. I drink a lot of milk and eat a lot of protein meat, veggies, etc. i love eating.

Answer 1

Look at your grandfathers on both sides, if they are over 6' you most likely will grow that tall. Don't worry though, :) guys grow until they are 21, sometimes even 23.

Answer 2

I'll be 14 in two days and I'm at almost 5' 11''.

Answer 3

I'm 13 and 5'9. But people tell my I'm really tall, so idk
