Answers:
The quick "duh" answer: you'll probably be around the height of your parents. But you knew that.
I ran a search for "predicting adult height." I found lots of different formulas and rules of thumb.
I tested them for accuracy and how many factors they took into account. I used several people's predicted and (later) actual heights..
Lucky for you, the most accurate site I found, after looking at many of them, does all the math for you! Yay!

This one actually considers YOUR CURRENT age, height & weight, not just your parents' heights.
All of the sites point out that adult height also is affected by nutrition, health, ethnicity, and heaven knows what else.
A real example:
That calculator predicts my son will be 5'11" based on the numbers to fill in. I believe he will turn out taller than that. Here's why....
His dad & I both had health problems as young teens that probably prevented us from growing as tall as we would have otherwise. (Heart condition & anorexia) Our son is healthy and won't have illness holding him back from growing fully.
The best any of these calculations can do is give you a general idea of how tall you'll grow. To grow to your full potential height, eat nutritiously, sleep as much as your body needs (which surprisingly is around 9+ hours for teens!), and exercise. Doctors & moms agree. ;-D
