Dude, seriously. Are you like worried about clearance or something? I mean, is your head like gonna get cut off if you grow beyond 6' 2"?
The reality of it is, we can barely tell eye color from genetics. There are so many factors that go into determining something like your height, that all you can really do is sit back and wait for the door frame. Once you bump your head, then you'll knoe your home.
Good luck though. I hope you end up being exactly as tall or short as you want to be.

There's no rule of thumb or scale to go by. There are to many factors to consider. You could take the genes from any parent or grandparent. Yes grandparents factor in too, b/c sometimes things skip a generation. Who do you take after most? Father, mother, grandfather as far as build, weight, height, looks? That will be your height comparison.
Example: I am 6'2 and 180 lbs, my father is 5'10" and 220 lbs and my mother is 5'2 (unknown weight). So I tower over both of them and not built like my father but my grandfather was 6'2" 180 lbs. That is where I got it. My build, height, weight, waste, even inseam is exactly as my grandfather's. Only my shoe size is bigger.
Oh yea, smoking and/or lifting weights has nothing to do with it. Don't listen but still you shouldn't smoke. I don't want you starting a pack a day habit b/c you think you are getting to tall!

that's complicated to assert. I actually have a brother who grow to be 5'10" in junior extreme and did not have a growth spurt -- he's 5'11" at present. i grow to be 5'8" as a extreme college freshman and am 6'7" at present. David Robinson is a classic occasion of a prior due growth spurt. whilst he enlisted interior the Naval Academy he grow to be 6'5" (the utmost top that non-recruited athletes could be interior the army). He grew 8" collectively as there to his modern-day 7'one million".

You don't say if you are a girl or a boy. My daughter is just shy of 6 foot. Her dad was 6'4'' and I'm 5'4". If you are a boy I would say closer to your dad's height. A girl will be shorter than her dad and a boy will be taller than his mom, where the average parents the father is taller than the mother.

The rule of thumb is to take the average of the mother and father's height and add 3 inches for a boy or subtract 3 inches for a girl.
so.. you should top out at about 6'6.

It's hard to just guess but if you dont smoke or drink or do drugs or anything to stunt your growth and keep drinking milk then you should get to a least the height of your dad and possibly higher.

Depends on shoe size. Best indicator at this age.
If you're already a size 10.5-11 you will be 6'3 or so. If you're 11.5-12, you will be 6'5-6'6.
If you're 9.5-10 right now, you will be 6'1-6'2.
Good luck!

This thing says you will be 6' 2 if you weigh 150 lbs now. Do it yourself with your correct weight.
