Can I reach 5'11?!
Question:
Can I reach 5'11?
I am an 18 year old male( turning 19 in 2 months) and I have grown .70 of an inch in the past year. However my growth as always kind of been steady, I never really had a huge growth spurt( peak was 2 inches in one year 14-15) At 5'8 3/8 at just 15 my growth pattern told me that I was going to be 5'11, well it never happened( Dad is 5'11.5 mom 5-4) Both of my grandpas were 6 feet). when I turned 17 I had grown only to 5 foot 9. I Thought I was done growing( even though I looked like a 14 year old without any hair on my face) Well when I turned 18 during last summer, all of a sudden my voice started cracking, started growing light facial hair, fine chest hairspimples all over the place and grew 3/4 of an inch to my current height of 5'9.7. I still have very oily skin and my voice still breaks occasinaly and my facial hair grows very slow. Do you think I can grow somemore
Answers:
You should still grow for a couple of yrs. What you end up at doesn't always go by grandpas and dads. I am a mom with two sons...one is 6'2", the other is 5'6". It was my fault one is short, I am only 5'2". My only hope of reaching past 5'5" is to use a ladder. :0)
