Will I grow any taller?!


Question:

Will I grow any taller?

I'm 5'6 and 16 years old. my dad is 5'4" and my mom is 5'2". I'm very very athletic but i figure its just in my genes to be short. Do you guys figure that I'll grow any more considering my age and the fact that my parents are short?? Is there anything I can do to grow more??


Answers:

i'm 5'8'' and both my parents are shorter than me (dad 5'6'' and mom 5'1''). i hear my grandpa was pretty tall, so that might be where i got my height. i used to be really active when i was a kid so i think that may have played into it too (sports, etc.) so try that. stretch out your limbs a little and see if that helps, though i'm not too sure on that. you might still grow a little more though, i hear up til the age of 18-20. good luck
