I have heard that feet size will predict your height but honestly i don't believe that It will depend on family genes. If both your parents are tall then there is a great chance that you will be tall and the same with shortness. It is possible that if your parents are tall and you grand parents are short there is a chance you will be short but better for tall since your parents genes will most likely take over .



When you're a little toddler the doctor's take X-rays of all the growth plates in your body and look at the height of everyone in your family (even aunts/uncles etc.) and they make a prediction based on that. Also they do base it on ethnicity often. Whites and black tend to be taller than Asians and Latins



Look at your older brother's,father's, uncle's, height in the family.You really cant tell, like the girl above me said go to a doctor he'll tell you if your gonna keep growing .



Your doctor could take x-rays of your growth plates and estimate your adult height, but it's just an estimate.
The best thing to do is look at everyone in your family....you'll be somewhere around that height!
