My mom is 57 and my dad is 65, i am almost 16 and im about 58. the doctors i still have growth plates open, but i question if im going to grown as much anymore. how tall would u estimate me to become ?

Expected final height in males is the average of both parents plus 2.5 inches. This would place your expected final height at 6'2.5". Open growth plates means this is still possible. If you are growing at least 2,5 in/yr there is a good chance you will. If 1 inch /yr or less maybe not.
