How many times do you need to ask this question? Every single question you've ever asked has been a variant of this...

Well,your height has to do with a lot of genetic factors.You obviously are not short at the height you are now.There are such a thing as recessive genes,that pop up and that what accounts for a child looking completely different from the parents.You can have a whole family,where most are tall,and then due to a recessive gene,there is a kid who grows up to be short. You have already taken a look on both sides of the family.If you see mostly tall people than most likely that will be you,maybe a little shorter by a couple of inches than your dad or maybe even taller.Sounds like,you are well,on your way to manhood,so try to relax,and take things one day at a time.

You can't really determine what your adult height will be sometimes. My friend's parents are both short but for some reason she's taller than both of them. Genes do have a big part in that but not all the time. You'll probably be pretty tall since you already are and your dad is too. Guys don't stop growing until they turn 21 so you still have a few years to determine how tall you'll be.

you will still grow since you still have a couple of years. just dont worry about since stress is a factor which limits growth and even that 5'10 is a pretty good height. Anyways my dad is 5'10 and my mom is 5'4 and im 16 and at 6'4. I probally did grow the most at 15 + 16 and now. So seemingly your around the same age as me this could happen to you too.

Really there is no telling because everybody is different. I have lots of brothers and sisters and my brothers are different heights but taller than my parents. My middle brother (I have 3) is the tallest. Don't know where the height came from. We are short. Isn't that too much info to say that you got groin hair?

It depends on a lot of factors. It looks as though you take after your mom's genes more than your dads. Just give it more time, because you might grow a lot between the ages of 18-23. As an estimate, you could be anywhere between 5'10"-6'0" in between that age range.

you might hit 6'2. My brother kept growing up until age 22 where he finally stopped at 6"1. My dad is 6 feet and my mom is 5'3.

I think you will be about 5' 11". But, by the time you stop growing you'll have forgot that you asked this question. So, I'll never know.

It's pretty hard to tell because everyone grows at different rates and it depends on your ENTIRE family history and you might still not end up the same height as everyone else.
Don't worry about it in any case.

My husband is 6'8". He started really growing from sixteen-probably eighteen or nineteen. It all depends but 5'10" isn't bad.
By the way--his father is 5'4 and his mother is 6' so it really doesn't have to come from family. He's had to shave every day since fourteen--even when he'd just trim his goatee. [I miss it!]
