HOW TALL YOU WANT: How tall you want to be most likely you could be as tall as your father you already passed your mom it is very hard to predict that stay healthy exercise eat right avoid junk food you will be ok.

Its hard to tell: Although the height of the parents will reflect the height of their offspring its not always predictable. If you grew since last year it means that you may grow a little more. If you didn't grow, this is your height. There is nothing you can do to grow any more.

Growth: Your projected height is 73.5 inches, which means you may have some growth left. Ask your doctor for an xray of your left wrist for a bone age to see jf you have any growth left. Eating properly and getting the proper amount of sleep will contribute to your growth
