Question 1

my dad is 5'3 ft and mom is 5flat. i'm 4'11ft since i'm 12yrs old and i'm 16 now. will i still grow taller? any suggestions please?

Accepted Answer

Listen to your body: If you have  been menstruating to at least 2 years it is not likely that you will grow physically taller.  You are from a small family  so enjoy being petite. The heights of your character, goodness, and contribution to the world have no limits.

Question 2

i'm 16 and i'm 5'10" ..at 12 i was 5'4".......will i grow taller....i want to be at least 6'0-6'1"?

Accepted Answer

You'll still grow.: I don't know where you'll end up, but you probably have another few years of growth.  Your goal might not be unreasonable.

Question 3

i've asked multiple question and recived different answers, in general for a male 16 yr will i grow taller, i'm 5.10 only looking for 1 inch gain?

Accepted Answer

Hard to say: If you are male, the typical growth spurt is between 13-16. If there are other males in the family that continue their height growth after 18, you may as well. There is nothing you can do to make yourself grow taller. It's mainly genetics. Just work on being healthy- good nutrition, good exercise, and healthy habits.

Question 4

hi,i'm 16 and 167cm. my dad is 178cm and mom is 170 ,will i grow taller? :)

Accepted Answer

Most likely: Most people grow to a height somewhere between their parents; this is called mid-parental height and is weighed a little more towards the mother's height for a girl.  At 16 you may still have the potential to grow a little taller than you are today.  Best of luck.

Question 5

will i grow taller if i'm done with puberty?

Accepted Answer

Define done !: People do not grow taller after their growth centers close.This is usually at 16 for girls and 18 or so for males.

Question 6

i'm a 15 year old boy but i'm only 5'2. will i grow taller?

Accepted Answer

Probably yes.: For males, puberty starts at around age 11 - 12 and is complete at around age 16 - 17. After puberty, adolescents experience a growth spurt, which lasts up to two years. During this period of growth, male adolescents can expect to grow up to 4 inches a year reaching their final height by age 20. 
As a rule of thumb, a child will be the size of the average of the parents, or slightly taller.

Question 7

what do you suggest if i am 16 years old, will i grow taller ?

Accepted Answer

Maybe: Growth patterns are related with hormonal changes and with the genetics of your family.  There are individuals that achieve their peak growth earlier than 16 and others that still continue to grow after.  Your doctor is the best source to tell you that, since he has records of your growth pattern over the years.  Also, ask your parents and see when they achieved their permanent hight.

Question 8

will i grow taller? at what age do we stop growing?

Accepted Answer

Varies: Some kids continue to grow taller into their late teens or rarely early twenties but only when their bone maturity lags behind their age. If the growth centers of the long bones have fused, you cannot grow taller. A single x-ray of the wrist &amp; hand can yield a bone maturity.Most boys stop at 18. If you enter puberty late, you may have potential to grow later.

Question 9

im 17 yrs old girl .will i grow taller?

Accepted Answer

Possibly: Some people have a late growth spurt but most are about the height they will be by age 17.

Question 10

will i grow taller after puberty?

Accepted Answer

Grow: Sorry, but NO if you are 16-20 or older.
