I am 14 1/2 year old MALE and 5'4. My dad is 5'7 and my mom is 5'0. I haven't really grown too much in the past two years, only an inch or two. I have had facial hair for a year and a half now. How tall will I be when I'm an adult? Please Help.

Take your height when you were 2-1/2 and double it. That is as tall as you will grow. Your mom likely has that in a baby book or something. You will probably be an inch or two taller than your dad. Our products are so full of steroids and growth hormones that our children are becoming taller than they should and hitting peuberty younger and younger... Or you could go to this site and see what it tells you:

Assuming a similar diet to your parents, the estimated height of a male based on parents heights is (fathers height + mother's height + 5" ) / 2.
Which for you would be 5'6". Personally, I grew a lot between 14 and 18, but it sounds like you started puberty early - which was not uncommon for a lot of shorter guys I knew. I'd be surprised if you don't clear 5'6", but if you hit 5'9", i'd be surprised too.

You are still young and you will hit a growth spirt around the age of 18. I think you'll be at least 5'9" and probably taller. Don't worry about it too much. There are lots of hot short guys around. Girls love them!

Just sleep as much as possible and stretch out more often. Also, dont listen to the people that say caffeine and cigarettes stunt your growth. Its bs. Your lucky.. id rather be shorter. (15, 5'10)
You'll probably be around 5'10-6'1 but you never know..

You still have much time to grow! Don't worry about it! Even if you stay 5'4 which I doubt you will, but what's wrong with being 5'4? Work with what you got kiddo!

This is actually a hard question. I know of someone who was 5'6" at the end of high school but is 34 now and is 6'5" so 6'1" is my guess.

hard to say, but ur sitll growing. men tend to have their growth spurt later than women. ur only 14, i know ppl who grew like 4 inches in one summer while in high school. ur fine, just dont smoke or drink caffeine so u wont stunt ur growth.

A general assumption and survey results say you'll probably end up 5'8".
