I'm 18 and 67 inches tall. my dad is 79 inches tall and my mom is 65 inches tall. how tall am i likely to grow?

Growth last year?: If some growth in the past year, then more growth may be possible. Most people reach their maximum height in their late teens. Without nutritional problems or chronic childhood illnesses, height is largely based on genetics and parental heights. Aside from eating right, exercising, sleeping well, and being happy, there's not much a person nor his doctor can do to increase height.
