How tall will i grow up to be?

Question

i'm 13, turning 14 in november and i'm only 5ft 3ish. my mom is 5ft 1 and my dad is 5ft 7ish. BUT, my 17yr old bro is 6ft. 5. my 16 yr old bro is 6feet 1 and my 15 year old bro is 5ft 9(he just started growing really fast like 2 months ago, and he turned 15 like 2 weeks ago).

is it even possible for me to be like 5feet 6?

Answer 1

You will probably peak at 5'5 at 15 when girls usually stop growing.  Better growth is possible but uncertain.

Answer 2

don't worry, you may have a different growth pattern inherited by your parents. I take it you haven't had growth spurts yet so maybe you will follow your 15 year old brother and have your growth spurts then.

The avg person grows 7 inches between their two spurts during adolescence. So you could grow to be 5ft 8+(tall like your brothers), you never know

by the way genetics only accounts for 70% of growth so if you have a good diet with fruit and veg, you exercise alot and eat 3 meals a day...you'll get there in no time!

Answer 3

Of course it's possible!!  Your height depends a lot on your grandparents too. Did yo know that you'll keep growing till age 21?  It's true!  In the meantime, drink 3 glasses of any kind of milk every day, lots of protein and veggies.  Also, get outside and exercise!  Ride your bike, jump rope, walk briskly, or run.

Bless you and good luck!  :)

Answer 4

It depends on lots of factors, genetics only play a part in it. Your overall health makes a difference ,  malnutrition can also effect your growth. One easy way is ask your parents if they remember how tall you were at 2 and a 1/2 yrs, then double that. For some reason that's a pretty reasonable indicator

Answer 5

You probably just haven't fully hit  your growth spurt yet. Some kids hit it when they're like 15 don't worry
