Put your arms out straight at your sides, get someone to measure across from the tip of you middle finger to the tip of your other middle finger!.

The lenght is the exact height you will reach!. It is a known fact that the two measurements are the same, and that your arms will finish growing quite a while before you finish getting taller!.

If they are the same lenght you have stopped, if the measurement is greater than your height, well that is how much you have left to grow!.Www@Answer-Health@Com

If you're parents are short then you should be approx!. 5' 7 1/2 - 5' 8" by the time you finish growing!. That's not too short at all!. But I think you will grow more till you reach around 21 years!

You will get about your dad's height, maybe a bit taller maybe a bit shorter!. So tell me how much tall your dad is and you will be about the same height +/- 2 inches at the most!. Of course, there are some exceptions!. In example, my closest friend is about 6'4 and his dad is 5'8 :D, strange enough!
