How tall will my friend be?!


Question:

How tall will my friend be?

My friend is 14 years old, hes turning 15 in November. He's already 5'10-5'11. His family is really tall, his dad is 6'4, his mom is 5'4, and his sister is already 5'7 at 12 years old. How tall do you think he'll be?


Answers:

It's hard to say because people grow differently, when I was 14, I was about 5'11' and 4 1/2 years later I am about 5'11"1/2.(My dad is about 5'9'). Just because your dad is tall is tall doesn't mean that you are going to be tall , for example Kiefer Sutherland the guy on 24, is only about 5'9' whereas his dad Donald Sutherland is 6'4'. At the same time Joakim Noah(Florida gators center) is about 6'11' while his dad is "only" 6'4'1/2. A way to get a good estimate is to see if he has hit a major spurt yet..guys usually get a huge spurt(like 3-4 inches), which usually is the peak..after that the growth kind of mellows out (But in many cases it is not the end,many guys continue to grow till they are about 21). If you want an estimate there is a good chance he will get to 6'5' and maybe more.
