Height Growth?!
Question:
Height Growth?
I'm 15 years old right now and Asian. My dad is about 5'7" and my mom is about 5'2" or so. From 6th to 8th grade, I grew about 7 inches but have ceased growing since. My current height is 5'6". Is it likely that I will continue to grow in the future, or am I stuck at this height forever?
I'm actually a swimmer, so my height can really help me improve my times.
Thanks
Answers:
It can really differ.
I stopped growing when I was about 14. All what has happened since is that I've filled in (a little bit). I am now 19 and still the same.
And by the same token you could have stopped because you already passed your mom 4'' ago.
But it looks to me like you growing in spurts. Alot here, and then nothing. If that has happened before, you may get at least one if not more chances to spring up like that again.
But check this out, my uncle is 7'' taller than his dad and much more than his mom.
So flip the coin and see the result.
