5 ft 10 in: You are probably at the tail end of your growth spurt. According to your parents height, your genetic height potential as a male is 5 ft 10. We generally say " plus or minus 2" meaning you may hit 6 ft. 5 ft 10 is the average height for a male in the US.

Guessing: You have already out grown your mom's height, and the average of both (ballpark). So, absent xray tests (which can only say it MIGHT happen), look back at your grandparents...if ALL are tall, then better chance at yes. If not, may be best to start being OK with who and how you are, and if you are blessed with more height, will be happy. Some more is likely--how much, no way to know.
