Am I going to be taller?!


Question: Am I going to be taller?
I'm 17 and 5/7 . My dad is 5/9.5 and mom 5/5. Now my cousin who is 14 is 5/7 too and his parents are 5/4 and 5/2. Can I still grow 2-3 inches?

Answers:

You probably won't grow that much taller. When you hit you late teens your body stops producing huge amounts or hormones and the growth spurts stop. You may grow another inch or so, but don't count on it. Your cousin probably isn't going to get too much taller either. Boys hit growth spurts (girls too at times) and just shoot up when they hit puberty. Likely you've already gone through that stage in your life and as far as height goes your body is slowing down. But 5'7" is a good height, it's fairly average.
