A member asked:
I am 6feet tall and my age is 14.5. is that normal?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Above normal: "Normal" is between the 3rd and 97th percentile. You are at the 98th percentile so taller than normal. If you continue to follow this growth curve you will wind up about 6 ft and 2 1/2 inches, tall but not basketball-star tall. But it is hard to know for sure, and you could wind up a bit taller.
