A member asked:

Im a 16 year old boy and im 5.8. will i be able to reach 6.2?

A doctor has provided 1 answer

Unlikely: If you entered puberty at the same time as your friends, you are nearly finished with your growth and would likely make it to 5'10" and stop. If your bone maturity were more like a 13 yo, you might reach that height, and an X-ray of your wrist and hand could show that.
