Usually they say kids are taller than their parents but your mom is quite tiny so you might not grow too much after this.

@Fiercerain: Damn... my Fiance is 6'4 o.O gonna have to check his height when he's 25... oh dear. AND I'M STUCK AT 5'8.5 FOREVER T.T (would wanna be smaller though lol!)

depends went from 5'3 to 5'8 in several months, still growing, for all I know I can never grow again, or grow when I finish high school

Males typically stop growing around 25 I believe. Females stop growing around... 15 ~ 18.

I'm still growing even though I'm 18. Every one that has seen me after a couple of months comments on how I'm getting taller.

[quote=ClementZ]It's random.

I'm 17 (in a few days), 5'7 as well (dad is 5'7, mom is 5'2). I haven't grown in two years.
My uncle, was 5'5 at my age, (his dad was 6'3, and his mom was 5'), shot up to 6'3 by the time he was 20, and finished at 6'7 at the age of 24.[/quote]

6'7 is extemely tall o.o

some guys stop growing well into their twenties
but ofc, some guys with unlucky genes stop growing early high school

i can't tell you what height you end up with
but you'll stop growing at around 21

That's incredibly hard to know. You could literally gain 6 inches by Thanksgiving. I was 6'0 tall in 6th grade and didn't grow an inch till 11th grade, then I just shot up to 6'5. It's random in terms of when.
