I am turning 15 my mum is 5"3 my dad is 5"5/6, i am same height as my dad, can i grow alot taller than them?

Question

My sister is is 5"4/5 and she is 18, i am basically the tallest in my family at 15. If i can grow alot taller than them, how so? and what is the normal age that boys stop growing?

Answer 1

You will never know until you really start to grow (growth spurts.) It is all in the genes. I tower over my parents; my dad is 5'11 and my mom is around 5'6... I'm around 6'3 or so.

Answer 2

you will probably have another growth spurt around 18/19.

while a child is usually about the height of his/her parents, if your nutrition has been significantly better than theirs was in their childhood - you can be much taller.

How much?   not sure. but if you want to try out for the basketball team, it isn't a foolish dream.

Answer 3

Normally they stop growing at age 21. I think you may grow possibly maybe a few more like 2-3. not sure how long. but thats my best guess

Answer 4

it is very unlikely that you will be alot taller than your parents...

its in your genes.

Answer 5

yes! you being only 15, you have got a way to go before you stop growing. you will keep growing untill you are 21. you will be taller than your mom or dad.

Answer 6

Dude im in the exact same position as you. Except i dont have a sister. But im turning fifteen same height and parents are same height. Well i have grown to about 5.8 this summer but i think youll grow you still have time. just eat a lot. exersize alot. sleep alot. and tell your self mentally that your growing, and youll grow.
