A member asked:

I'm a 17 year old male 5,7. can i get to at least 6,0 or maybe higher like 6,1 and what are your thoughts?

A doctor has provided 1 answer

Maybe/not: Most 17 yo are at or near the end of their growth in stature. An x-ray of your wrist/hand can identify a bone maturity that would show if you are finished/near finished or have much more to go. Your bones would need to be much like a 13-14 yo to allow for that much added growth. If you have not grown more than an inch in the pat year you are near the end.
