How do I know if I will continue to grow?!


Question:

How do I know if I will continue to grow?

Yeah, hi. I am about 5'7'' and I am 15. I am also a volleyball player, so I want to get taller.. My father is roughly 6' and mom is 5'4''. Is there some way I can find out if I'll grow anymore? I heard this idea that when a kid is 2 you have to multiply their age by their height, giving the height they will grow to be.... Is there anything like this for older people?


Answers:

Most girls are done growing by 15-16 years old but you never know. I am a guy and I grew about 6 inches in 18 months between the age of 15-1/2 and 17 but guys are different. My niece is a volley ball player and at 5' - 7" just got a full scholarship to Stanford so height isn't always everything.

Good Luck and I hope this helps
