My Height?!


Question:

My Height?

I turned 16 this month and I'm 5'9"1/2, I've been this height for roughly a year, but am 10 pounds heavier now. But my wingspan reads 5 foot 10, which one is correct?

I've been told I'm done growing because I'm physically mature for my age and have been shaving for a while. My dad is 5'6" or 5'7" and my mom is 5'2". I have my moms genes and my moms dad is 5'10" and so is her brother, all of her uncles and cousins are 6 foot and taller..even the women are about 5'8".

am I done growing? is it possible I could reach 6 foot by my 17th birthday next june? and how often should I measure myself?


Answers:

You are not finished growing. I was told the same thing at your age and I was 5'8". I still grew signicantly between my 17th and 19th birthdays. And then I grew a little after that in my early twenties. I am now 6'1"
