Can I still grow taller?!
Question: Can I still grow taller?
I'm 20 year old male, 5'8. My mom is 5'9, and my dad is 5'6. I'd like to think I have my mom's genes because I did not get balding during my teen years like my dad, or his huge nose (she married him for the money). All my male cousins on my mother's side are at least 6'2 or taller. Do I still have a chance to grow taller, or am I doomed?

You're 5'8" and wondering if you're "doomed"? 5'8" is a fine height, just 1 1/2" off the average height in the US. You're dad is shorter by 2" and you're 20. Except in rare cases, that all points to your having reached your maximum adult height. Your kids might be bigger than you, but you should accept your height. 5' 8" is great!
I'm 5' 8" too!
Honestly, It's very unlikely but that doesn't mean impossible.
i love how you added "she married him for the money"
5' 8" is great. do you have little man complex?
