Answer 5

yes, you probably will grow, but don't expect to be a shaq. both your parents are short, so you'll probably be anywhere from 5'3" - 5'8"

nothing wrong with being short (:

Answer 6

NEHEHEHEHE!  I'm a year younger than you and I'm 5 inches taller, and I'm the second shortest boy in my class!

Answer 7

THESE PEOPLE DONT KNOW ANYTHING!

0H MY GOD,THEY'RE ONLY TRYING TO SCARE YOU!!

You wont stop growing until the age of 21

PLUS.THE HUMAN BODY GOES THROUGH AT LEAST 4 GROWING STAGES.

Youre barely in 9th grade!! Trust me you'll grow at least 5-8 inches more.

BE PATIENT!

:)

Answer 8

Every guy just grows at his own rate, and some men don't reach their full height til around 21. My son has always been tall, with big feet, and is 16 now - but I'm tall, so is his dad, and lots of the guys in our family. But he's had friends through these past few years who stayed smaller, then suddenly seemed to shoot right up a few inches at a time.

Part of it for you will be genetics, of course. But food and sleep are also important - eat well, and sleep on a proper schedule, since that's when growing happens.

As for how people think of you - you know better than to let it bother you!

All in all, average height for a man is 5'8".

Answer 9

I think it is very likely for you to get taller, so don't worry!  Everyone grows at different rates, and doctors tell me that girls grow until they are around 16 and boys until they are around 18, so you've got plenty of time!

Answer 10

My dad is 6'3". My mom is 5'6". I'm 5'11". I would be expected to grow more, possibly a lot more, except i am shaving, and my muscles are growing faster then ever. That means that i have pretty much finished growing up, and am starting growing out. So If your shaving already, then your probably done. You should also look at your lineage. I have italian grandparents, and they were short, so thats why i'm not getting up into the 6 feets.

Answer 11

As soon as I saw "going to ninth grade" the answer was yes. I don't know the exact age when you stop growing but it much later...

I'm 5'0 and I'm 16 :P
