I heard that your height depends on your parents.
so if my father is 5"11 and my mother is 5"4
does anyone know what will my height be?
I'm currently 5"5 and 15years old

Also how tall were your grand parents, as sometimes the height thing can skip a generation!
My partner is well over 6 feet tall and both his parents were 5'5" ish!
However his grandpapy was over 6' tall so delve a little more!
I presume if you are a guy you will want to be taller than Tom Cruise.

As a rule of thumb women never are taller than their fathers and men are always taller than their mothers.
That does not narrow it down much for your. Most girls have gone through their major growth spurt by age 15. You will now go through the final thickening process of bone growth. This process will add at least one inch to your height by age 20 maybe as much as 2 or 2 1/2 inches.
My forecast for you is between 5' 6" and 5'7".

I know what you are saying but I don't think it is always true. My mother is 5 ft 4 and my father who is now deceased was 5 ft 9 and I am 5 ft 11. I ended up taller. I have a sister who is 5 ft 3 and a brother who is 6 ft 1.

My guess is somewhere in betweeen your parents ........ say about 5'7" . Girls tend to get their height gene more from their Mom and boys from Dad, but honestly there's no real way of telling until you stop growing and that should be another couple years. There are always exceptions to every rule. It's Mother Nature I think.

Add toigether your mother's and father's heights. deduct 6 inched if you are female and then halve the answer. (if you were male you would add 6 inches). So you are about the maximum hieight youa re likely to be.

Never mind about your current height or that of your parents. Sky is the limit! Keep growing!

Girl can grow until they are 18yrs. Genetics play a role as well, you could be 6' Good Luck

well acturally it doesnt always depend on your parents. your anseccers play a part in it too. your parents could both be 6" tall and you could only be 4"
