How tall would I be?

Posted by adameekd @adameekd, Oct 30 1:20pm

Im 14 and im 5.11ft/179cm. I have puberty earlier than my friends and now Im growing slowly (1inch/2cm in 9months). My dad is 172 and my mum 173. My doctor said about 185cm/6.1ft, but that was time when I was growing fast. HOW TALL WOULD I BE?

Sorry that you haven’t heard from anyone yet.
In general, one looks at the parents’ heights as a guide.
You are already taller than your father at 14.
You probably had your major growth spurt already, but you are still growing. You will continue to grow at a slower rate through your teens. Some people even continue into their 20s.
Nobody can give an exact number that you will reach. There are many factors involved.
It is definitely possible that you will grow past your doctor’s estimate of 6’1”.
Why don’t you ask your doctor at your next visit!
