most boys continue to grow until 19-21, check your genetics if the males in your family are short...you may get another 2-3 inches. but don't let that stop you. use what you have to the best of your ability. Spud Web, and Muggsy Bogues, come to mind.

Ya you probley be 5.7-5.85

A slight chance. why is everyone worried about height?

women dont care how tall you are if you have a big pecker

Yes u can still grow, even after puberty, n u hav a likely chance, of havin a huge growth spurt, since ur still a teenager. SO just be patient love! ;)

Yes.

Yes you can still be putting on height when your 17 going on 18. But if you don't, that should not be an issue for you, or at least don't let it become one. There is more to you than height.

Be safe, be sage

Sometimes a guy can shoot up later when they're like 18. I've known people like that, including my youngest brother. Main thing, don't worry about it because those worries are bad for your prospects for best health and best chances for growth. So try to be positive and take up running. It creates a lot of positive endorphins. Eat healthy, avoid sugar, and always get a good night's rest and nap when you need it. naps will reduce your stress levels too, along with the running.

well ur taller than me. i'm 15 and i'm only 5'2.

i guess you will cause at my school, some of the juniors are kinda shorter but then the nxt year, all the seniors are giants.


well, everybody's kinda a giant 2 me =P
