My mom is short and my dad is kind of tall, will i be short?!


Question: My mom is like 4'11 and my dad is like 5'8, right now I'm 12, about to be 13 in july, and I'm 5'2, I'm scared I might stay short, because my female cousin is the same age as me, just 10 days younger and she's getting taller than me and my teacher said that we guys will stay a little bit short for this period of time and girls will be a little bit taller than us and in summer we will grow like 3 inches more...but once again, am I going to be short???

well you will be on the shorter side. but you're only 12 going on 13. boys grow all the way into their twenties sometimes. That's normal girls will develop faster than boys. but you can't expect you're going to be 6'0'' but you may be as tall as your dad.

You will probably be in the middle.
