♥Puberty question?????????

Question

If one of my parents is tall and the other is short....which one will I be? Short or tall? And what if my cousins are freakiishly tall? Does that mean they are part of my family and we do share the same blood and does that mean I can proably grow tall too?

Answer 1

I had that same problem..... look at the elder's in your family are all the women short and all the man tall then if so your more likely to be smaller in height when your down growing.....If it's the other way around like men short women tall then you will probably be taller when you are finished growing............BUT just because it looks like you may be short or tall DOESN'T MEAN you will be you'll just have to wait and see..........

Answer 2

Genetics are very tricky things, you might want to look a little more into your family tree and weigh your odds. But as said before in another answer, only time will truly tell.

Answer 3

idk how tall you will eventually be, but because your cousins are tall that doesnt mean you will be "freakishly tall"...and you dont share the same blood, its genes. but you may be tall, it depends on your height now. if you 5'4 and just starting puberty my guess is you will be tall. but if your ending and are 5'4 your probably going to be short

Answer 4

the only way you can be sure is to go talk to your doctor, if you answer a few questions, they can usually come up with an estimate.

you usually stop growing two years after you get your period.

Answer 5

you height is usually determined by your parents. so you will probably be inbtween them in most cases. My Dad over 6 feet. mom 5'5" Im 5'3'

Answer 6

it is all determined by your parents genes only time will tell

Answer 7

I THINK YOU SHOULD FORGET THE STILTS YOU WANTED FOR CHRISTMAS...LOFTY
