You could get that tall - height is a genetic trait and it depends which genes you got from your parents as to how tall you will be.
My dad was 5'10 and my mum is about 5'7 or so. I'm close to the 5'10 mark and my brother is around 6' - my dad's sisters are barely 5' while my mums sister is about her height.
If you have siblings look at how tall they are as that can be a good indication of how tall you could get but there is a good chance you could be tall.

I'd say yes. Kids tend to be as tall as the average height of their parents or even then, a bit taller. In fact, over-all median heights have increased during the past few generations.
The most important factor in determining final height is genetics. Your height depends mostly on the height of your parents. There are steps that you can take to influence your growth potential:
1. Eat healthy foods. Fast foods should be the exception, not the rule.
2. Get a good nights sleep.
3. Get plenty of exercise. Without exercise, nutrition goes into building weight instead of height.
4. Don't smoke and don't take illicit drugs!! If possible, stay away from people who do. Second hand smoke has been linked with reduced growth.
Depending on how close you are to puberty, these steps may have little or no effect on your height. Still, they will help you remain healthy so they are worth the effort.

When your mom's egg and dad's sperm got together, your height was determined by all their genes that they got from their parents. Sounds like you have a very good chance of being around that 6' height. Look at it this way, there isn't anything you can do about it so accept your height, whatever it may ultimately be.

It can be possible you'll grow to be tall, since height and other features can skip generations. You haven't said how old you are and how tall you are now. If you have always been petite, you might stay petite. How tall you'll actually get depends on your circumstances right now, but it is possible.

5'~7" & 15 = in the next four years u should be looking at 2" if you want to c how this was the way it was for me, you can have herbs and minerials from gnc to aid your desires and weight training to hold your sensory skills in favor of growth, eating a breakfast of hi~protein is a must for proper fuel in your system

You may get that tall. There are sometimes genes that stay hidden for a couple of generations and then emerge.

I don't really think that matters. the trunk of your body can tell alot about your height...if you have a long trunk your going to have some height on you as you get older and if your smaller you will be shorter
