Growth question?

Question

I just turned 18 and am 5'8, and my dad is 6'1 and my mom is 5'7. I grew 2 inches in the last 6 months and have the same stature as my dad, but just not his height yet. My facial hair just came in and isnt dark and no mustache hair will grow, people also tell me i look about 15 because i have a baby face. The doctor told my parents i would be around 5'11 to 6'1, this was predicted as a toddler and the growth charts. I also never had a pubertal growth spurt, i just seemed to grow steadly through the years. Could my growth spurt been delayed? And is it possible to get my estimated height the doctor predicted?

Thanks for your imput if you reply. Thanks again :)

Answer 1

no one can tell you, because it is determined by your homrones

since your dad is 6'1, so you will be somewhere around 6'1

Answer 2

There is a possibility of you growing taller. I would say 5'10" if you stay at the rate you're at. Of course, from what you described, it sounds like you're not done with puberty yet. So there definitely is hope that you will be 6ft. At 5'8", you're already at or very near the average adult male height, so you shouldn't be too concerned. Just wait until you've finished growing. Also, you can try keeping a growth chart. I know it may sound silly, but I do and I'm glad that I started to. It makes it easier to see if you've grown.

Answer 3

Are there any other issues?.. Such as broken bones at some point that may have broken a growth plate? (I stopped growing at the age of 12 when I broke the growth plate in one leg).. Height is mostly an estimate anyway.. possibly changing by changing posture, bone density.. and various other issues.. I dont' think you can really find out for sure..

Answer 4

there is no way to know.
