Ok. I'm 12 years old and i'm 4'9. I'm 2nd shortest in my class. My mom is 5'1 and my dad is 5'8. The maximum height in my ENTIRE family (Both my moms side and dads) is 5'8. We're a pretty short family. I'm 100% Italian and Italians aren't (in my expierence) the tallest of people. My doctor said as an adult I'll be 5'1. 5'2 tops. She said most of my height will come from my mom. Is her prediction correct. Yes or no? And if not how tall do you think I'll be?

I got my peroid for the first time in October and I heard when you get your period u stop growing in 1-3 years. I hope that helps.

when i was 12 i was only 4ft 10ins when i started secondary school and when i was 15 when leaving i was 5ft 10ins , i am 6ft now and male, as for me my father was the short on and my mother was the tall one. as people are getting taller as time goes on through better nourishment you could grow to any height , but i would give a guess that you will be between 5ft 5ins to 5ft 9 ins when you have stopped growing , anyway do not worry about it quit a lot of famous people are short so all the best and draw that line on the wall now and see if i am right in 4 years time

Well my mom is 63 and she is 4'10''. My father was 5'10'' and I am 5'4''. You could have a possibility of being 5'4'' maybe. I think that you just had to wait and find out. At 12 years old you are too young to discount being taller. Wait until you are 16 and then worry.

You're taller then I was. When I was 12 I was only 4'7 now I'm 13 and 4'11. You're too young to tell whether or not you'll be tall or short.

I'm 12 and 4'9 too! My doctor said I'll be either 5'0 or 5`1. You'll probably be 5'0 or 5'1 too.

Don't worry about your height, just be the best person you can be at any height. Besides shorter women are Hot.
