Will I stop growing soon?

Question

I'm 5ft 6 or maybe even 5ft 7. I've always had loads of milk and yoghurts and dairy foods, so a lot of calcium. Has this made me slightly taller and how can I stop growing or grow less? At 15 and a half should I stop growing soon? My dad is not even 5ft 8 and my Mum's 5ft 5 and my nanna's are small, so is it possible for me to be really tall like 5ft 9? Also is there anyway I can look smaller, as I'm thin, so I look taller.

Lol by the way I'm not male. I just don't know how 2 change the face.

Answer 1

Truthfully, none of us can predict whether or not you are done growing or whether you will stop growing soon. Being male, you can grow until the age of 21.

Your height is not based on your parents alone but one your family history. If there are people in your family taller than your mom and dad, then yes, you can get taller than them.

The only way to predict your height with a reasonable degree of accuracy is to talk to your pediatrician. Pediatrician's usually take a femur measurement of an infant around 2 years of age and from that measurement can predict fairly accurately how tall a child will grow.
