i am a guy whos mom is 5"4 and dad is 5"11 i dont have a single male relative shorter than 5"8". i have always been on the short side and i had a big growth spurt already but doctors say nothing is wrong with my bones or anything and i am perfectley healthy. My grandfather also was short until college when he had a major growth spurt so it could be hereditary any way just wondering if i have hope. i just turned 16 not even a month ago

Most people do not grow after puberty. My brothers and my son were exceptions. My son grew 7 inches after joining the Navy. My brothers all grew between the ages of 16 and 19. But if you do not, then you don't. It's hard to see it right now, but your height, weight, skin color, hair, body shape should never determine your outlook on life. These things are so important in a young persons life, but in truth are the least important. Your personality, like it or not, will determine more than any of the other factors. Really, they will.

I was 4'8'' when I was 15. That's A LOT shorter that you are now. Now I am 23 and 5'11'' I grew over a foot in a year. Guys growth comes later than females' growth. That's one reason girls like older guys. It sucks when people get taller and you don't but in a year or two if you're not taller than you can start worrying. You'll be okay.

Men normally continue to grow until the 23 to 25 range.

You might grow taller, you might not. Is it your grandfather from your mother's side or father's side? Males tend to take after their mother when it comes to height, and the average guy with parents the same height as yours reaches one taller than what you are now. People can stop growing at many different ages, for me it stopped at 13.

I know a lot of guys who were SOO short in high school but after high school I saw them and they were SOOOO tall! it was really weird. At one point I was taller than my brother whose a couple of years older than me. But now hes 6 feet tall. and I'm 5 6. So you're still youngg u got a lot of time to grow.

It wouldn't surprise me if you picked up another 4 or 5 inches be the time you turn 20. Stop worrying about it. -Stress will stunt your growth! :)
