5'7 is pretty tall for your age. I'm 18 and I'm 5'7. My dad's 5'11 and my mom's 5'. So I'd say the rate you're going now you'll be taller than your dad, maybe like 6'ish which doesn't happen that often, so consider yourself lucky dude.
your 12 and 5'7 are u kidding, your alredy tall, you wont stop
possibly but you may grow a least a total to 1ft 1/2
You would have to go back more than their grandparents to see if there is a possibility of you grower taller than the 5'10" that your dad is. I am 6'4" and there is no one in either my father's family or mother's family that was taller than 5'10" so there was a gene out there just waiting for me to come along and the same thing could happen to you so just wait and see. Anything is possible.
Well it really depends on how fast you will machure! I am 11 years old and i am like 5'5. But i would say you will be at least 6 ft tall or so!
First off, 5 foot 7 inches at age 12 doesn't sound that short to me. In fact, according to the commonly used growth chart for boys, you are fairly above the curve (link provided below).
But to answer your question, height can't actually be predicted by looking at any relatives (parents, grandparents, siblings, etc etc) because there are a lot of factors at work in determining height. Not only are there genetic factors (which are complicated enough on their own) but environmental factors such as childhood nutrition may also have an impact on your final adult height.
The grandparent's rule is an unproven myth... just like the myth that men with big feet have large penises. There is just no medical proof that makes such claims plausible.
It seems that you will be very tall if you are indeed 5'7" at age 12, but there's no way to say for sure. Exercise regularly, eat right (with plenty of vitamins and minerals), and get the proper amount of rest so that your body is in tip-top shape to facilitate the healthiest growth.
But also remember that height isn't something that can be changed, so the best thing you can do is love yourself for all of your traits and qualities, strengths and shortcomings.
Peace and best wishes.
