Hi MCam,
You still have a lot of growing up to do! My father is 5'8", my mum is 5'1,yet my brother grew to 6 feet! When you're twelve you're definitely not at your full height! Also, some men grow taller at a later stage, if you're just hitting puberty you've only just begun your final spurt, so don't worry about it. If it's any consolation, some of my friends who have actually been late starters in the height department actually ended up taller than anyone else - they grew slower but for longer!
Hope this helps.
From a fellow Malteser!

The average man is 5' 10" nothing wrong with being 5' 6".
Just pick a shorter women, they have a hard time with tall men and they are not attracted to tall men.
You will grow until you are 21 years old and men start out slow. My brother had to stand on the front row for the school picture with the girls he was so humiliated.
He almost cried. Then he started to grow and now he is 5' 10" and was thrilled to read that is the hight of the average man. Most men are not 6' that is considered tall.

Ask your mom how tall you were when you were 2. A doctor told my sister in law that if you double that height....(at age 2) that is how tall you will be. It was pretty accurate because he told her that her son would be around 6'7" when grown and that is how tall he is. Hope this help.
My dad grew 12" after he turned 16 so you still have a lot of growing time left.

Males usually stop growing at 18 and often before. As you are only 12 hopefully you will grow taller for at least a few more years.

Being tall isn't all that it's cracked up to be. Sure you can reach the top shelf but if your really tall it's harder to find clothes that fit and shoes the are comfortable.

Well on WebMD they have a height predictor and I typed in your information and it brought up that you would be 5'11". Of course this is only an estimated height and I hope for your sake it is true!!

Good question and the answer is no one knows. It is good to look into the future but your studies and money management is what you should spend time on.
