How tall will i be approx?

Question

Hi!

I am approx 5'6, my father is approx 5'8 and my mum 5'5, most of the people on my mums side of the family are rather short (shes the tallest out of her sisters), but on my dads side (apart from his mum who is rather short) of the family, most are giants ranging from 6 foot to approx 6'5(including my uncles which i have 2)!(my great grandad was also very tall on my dads side) , i am 14 years old, havn't had a major growth spurt yet (as far as i know), i exercise for about 40 mins once a week (football) and take in the right foods (with a bit of junk food on the side of course), and my question is, how tall will i be approx? thanks for the answers up front guys.

Answer 1

My mother was 5 feet 5. and my dad was 5 feet 11. and my brother is six feet  and I am 5 feet 10 and a half.  My mother said was short and my dads side tall, 6 feet on over.  You did not say how old you are but you should be at your full height by the age of 18, you may grow a little till the age of 20, but that will be the end of your growing.

Answer 2

There are three different height prediction calculators here: http://pediatrics.about.com/cs/growthcha...

I've just run each of them for our son and for our daughter. Very close on our daughter, off by many inches on our son.

Answer 3

As an RN, we were taught in nursing school that the method generally used to calculate future height is to take the height you were on your 2nd birthday and then double it.  That is supposed to be about how tall you will be when you are full grown.  Of course, that requires that your mother knows how tall you were when you were about 2.  She may have in your medical records what that information was.  Anyway, it needs to be close to your 2nd birthday.........not close to the 3rd.
