How likely is someone to grow 5 inches taller at 16?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
I am not sure if you: Will. Most boys stop growing taller by 16 or 17 years old. One factor is when you began puberty. If you were older when you began puberty, then you may have more time for a growth spurt. However your height is largely determined by genetics. You can get an estimate of what your ultimate height will be w a height predictor calculator: http://children.Webmd.Com/healthtool-kids-height-predictor.
