You'll be about 5'5" at 21 years old.

doc and coaches calculate 'familial predicted height' this way:

for women: (dad - 5") + mom / 2
for men: (mom + 5") + dad / 2

so, if you're a woman, you'll be (68" - 5") + 67" / 2 = 65" or 5'5"
if you're a man, you'll be (67" + 5") + 68" / 2 = 70" or 5'10"

You slow your growth at 18 but you don't stop until about 21. This all depends on some genetics and nutrition too. There are any number of conditions that can diminish or increase growth.

Hopefully you will grow a bit more but how much more only the Almighty knows.

Females usually stop growing at 15 and often earlier but sometimes growth continues beyond 15.

I am 6'two" and my ex is five'two" and that was once on no account a quandary. Now my spouse is five'four" and nonetheless there isn't change in that for me. But if the tall man or woman is the woman and the quick is the man then it might be bizarre

Don't worry you WILL grow. If your parents are BOTH tall then you most likely be tall due to genetic traits and some people are just slower than others when it comes to height or going through puberty.You will most probably be in the same height range as your parents.

You can probably trust a child researcher to answer this.

I would say that you will probably grow a couple more inches atleast. It's possible that you carry a recessive trait of your parents that makes you shorter. But don't be concerned about growth. You (We lol) are too young to do that.

Don't get your hopes up for getting much taller, boys usually continue to grow girls usually stop a lot sooner than 18.
