Can I get any taller?!


Question: Can I get any taller?
I want to be 6 ft and I am currently 5'6 at 17 years old. They say your height will be the average of your parents. My dad is 5'8 and my mom is 5'2. I seen kids who are taller than both there parents so can I be taller than both my parents and be 6 ft or am I stuck at 5'6?

Answers:

At 6'2" I'm taller than both my parents where, because my grandparents and other relatives were really tall. If you still haven't hit that growth spurt you were supposed to hit in Jr. high you may grow again, but this is unlikely.
I guess the only thing to tell you is just get comfortable with being shorter than other people. And if you're worried about meeting women, don't worry, I know women who say they'll never date men shorter than them, and then they meet this guy with a really great personality, and end up falling for him. So being tall, while it's an advantage, doesn't necessarily weed short people out of the gene pool.
