Like everyone else is saying, anything is possible. Nature will take its course. Short people can have tall children and vise versa.

But you never know. Men can grow until they are 21. So you still have time. Do you remember if you already had a growth spurt? Anyway, some people can have like little spurts.

But you are lucky that you are as tall as you are now considering the height of your parents. Most people wouldn't grow to that height.

You could reach that height or you might just get an inch.

But anyway...Best of Luck!

Anythings possible, you may grow a little more. Im 15 and im 6'2 my mom is 5'5', and my dad is 6'0'

I was 5'8" when I graduated from high school at 17, A year later I was 6'1", but my dad was tall. Anything is possible though.

2 years ago i was 5'2 now at 16 im 5'11, who knos the same thing could happen for you

you stop growing at 19. nothing to worry about

prolly not ur dads short and so is ur mom but look at ur family history whats the average hight of males in ur family... that will prolly b ur hight

Maybe, but most guys are really done with vertical growth at 17 or so. Not sure who you heard your info from or who your expert on growth was, only an endocrinologist who has examined you fully could make a valid statement such as that. If you are measuring barefoot, you are almost average height in my opinion.
