How tall will I be when fully grown?!
Question:
How tall will I be when fully grown?
I'm 15.75 years old (i.e 15 years and 9 months old) and i'm exactly 176cm tall (5 foot 9.3 inches) - according to this really accurate electronic height checker.
My father is a caucasian (white) man who is 179cm tall, and he is 47 years old (he claims he was 180cm tall before). Is it true that you get shorter as you get older?
My mother is Chinese and is 158cm (5 feet 2 inches) tall and is 44 years old.
Do you think I can grow by 4cm to 180cm (5 feet 11 inches) by my 18th birthday? i'm born on September the 18th.
Answers:
~It is very true that you get shorter with age, usually starting in the 60's.
I can't tell you exactly how tall you will be, no one can. We can only guess. You are only 15 and have a lot of growing left to do, it's very possible that you could grow an additional 2 inches.
Good luck.~
