I'm not saying you will, but there is still a chance. 6 inches over 3 ,maybe 4 years. It's possible. Diet can help or hurt your growth also. Exercise can also help. You should be talking with your doctor about this.
Good luck to both you and your genes!

I found this formula a while ago and it has been dead on accurate for just about everyone i have ever tried it with in regards to height. For men how tall you will be is dependent on your parents height. Fathers height is constant and add 5 inches to mothers height and you have your height range. Example if dad is 5'10" and mom is 5'2" you will be between 5'7"-5'10" when fully grown. For girls it is almost the same but moms height is constant and subtract 5" from dad, so if you have the same parents as before you would be between 5'2"-5'5".
So according to my calculations, no you will never get to 6'3" you will be between 5'10" and 6'2" as an adult.

Well i'd say a guess of where you'll be when you are totally done growing would be somewhere between those two heights, but theres no way of knowing for sure..To me it seems unlikely that you would be taller than your dad, but hey you never know. You could stall at 5'9" forever, its all a gamble. I'm 5'10" and done growing and happy since my entire extended family is close to midget-height. It's all perspective really. Don't feel bad, there's some 5' guy out there looking at you in admiration...
