Crazy thing about genetics. Your mom can have green eyes, your dad can have brown eyes, and you can have blue eyes. The genetic line usually follows the strongest path. Genetic parents, and would assume you will wind up somewhere between 5-3 and 5-6. If you have tall people in your family it is possible to inherent those genes, but not likely. I knew a girl who was 5-11 and neither parent was over 5-6, her grandfather was 6-4. Its all a crap shoot. Nothing you can really do to change genetics. As far as modeling goes, most are not looking for height anymore, rockettes and VS models have specific guidelines, but a lot of others are looking for unique men and women. The day of 5-11 barbie blondes is changing. So even if you don't get to 5-9 DON'T GIVE UP YOUR DREAM!!!



I am 14 and am the same height as my dad (with no signs of stopping growing) and I am currently 5'9. You may outgrow your father but it is unlikely it will be by a full 2 inches. It is still possible though. you will just have to wait and see.

The height calculator says 5'5 but I didn't know your weight so I had to go on average (120 pounds). But these things are far from accurate.



Just drnk alot of milk eat alot and swim...



its possible, but most likely no you wont get to be 5'9'
