Answer 1

You are tall for your age! I am 5'2" and I'm 12 and a half. You will probably be 58 or 59.

Answer 2

There is such a good chance! You still have plenty of time left. That means lots of time for *growth spurts* and eating more fruits and veggies! lol You will probably be not as tall as your father, though. But, that's ok! Tall is good!

I'm 14 years old and I am 5' 9 already. So, yes, there is a good chance. Plus, you have a better chance than all of your friends because your dad is TALL!

Hope this helped you!

Answer 3

dude, you're just as old as me! is your birthday in march?! mine is.
anyways. I'm, like, done with puperty, and Im 5 foot flat, and I've only been growing like a centimeter every month, so maybe you could be.
Although, I do get measured in way different times of the day.
So maybe, You'll just have to wait.

My Parents are..
Mom - 4'11"
Dad - 5'7"
So, who knows!

::Some:: : That's so weird, I didn't even come here because your age was the same, I just clicked because im short and wanted to see what other people said. :P
Cool! Hope you get tall! :P

Answer 4

i think you might reach around 5'7" maybe even what you want. It really depends on how tall your parents are. i was about 5'1" when i was your age, I'm 14 now and I'm 5'2" but my parents are quite short. And i think I'm done growing tall, I'll probably stay this tall for the rest of my life, so it depends whether you have finished growing too or not.

EDIT : after you said your parents' heights i think you will be 5'9" but just about?
I'm not sure LOL i'm jsut guessing.

hope i helped.

Answer 5

It depends on genetics (not necessarily your parents height either... they can carry recessive traits for offspring to be taller or shorter then themselves) and nutrition. Level of exercise and fitness can influence these things too, as well as the amount of non-organic meats and dairy consumed (most commercial dairy and meats in North America have very high levels of growth hormones).

And yes, some girls can have quite the sudden growth rate between 17 and 19 years of age ^_^ (its not typical, but in some families, it can be common among all the offspring to have late growth spurts, changing them from being short for their age group to taller than average)

Answer 6

Well, it depends whether you are a boy or girl. Boys definitely can be 5,9 if they stretch alot or play basketball. But for girls it is only possible if you try really hard to stretch and drink a lot of milk every day.

Answer 7

Some girls keep growing until they're 15-16, so it may be possible, but it's not likely unless the other women in your family are quite tall.

Tall girls get made fun of anyway, so don't hope for it too hard. :/

Answer 8

yes. i belive so i was 5.2... and thoght i am not gonne get taller becaus my period and bee stings was already there.that was when i was 13 years old now i am 23 and and 5.6 m.... long i grown 4 inches. never belive when poeple tell you you are finished growing i think you can only be sure you stoped growing at 16 or 18 years old. good luck...

Answer 9

maybe. am almost 13 and i am 5'3.
my mom is 5'7 and my dad is like, 5'8 or 9 but-
they did this fomula thingy and it said i would be like 5/9 or sumthin and people think i will be that height.
so maybe. ya.

Answer 10

Eh, its a little doubtful. Are both your parents tall? Because that would definitely help.
