Height

[pompey]

Im 16 and 17 in december. Im 5 ' 8 and a bit, i know ur 98 % eventual height at 16, but if im 5 ' 8 at 16 nearly 17 will i reach 5 ' 9 or maybe 6 foot, considering i easily have supassed my parents who are my dad is 5 ' 5 and my mum is 5' 4, though my nan is 5' 6 and my step grandad is 5 ' 10. So if im 5 ' 8 at 16 will i get much taller, how much did u lot grow and how tall are ur parents, will i grow much more from 5 ' 8 to 6 foot? replies would be grateful. cheers

Pompey you've kind of already asked this question, haven't you!

To be honest, judging by the height of your parents and grandparents, I can't see you getting much taller, perhaps an inch or two, but that said, my dad's parents were both 5ft 4 and he grew to 6ft 5!

Anyway, you're about average height for a bloke nowadays, so don't worry!

Pompey, my younger son of 17+ is 5' 5" and the older one of 18+ is 6' 1". Their father was 5' 10" and I'm a short a*se at 5' 2"!!  Both sets of grandparents were of 'average' height.

 

Don't worry about you're height....Your personality and character are far more important and both of those (from what I've read about you) are perfect!!

Hey pompey, I'll second what Lindy Loo said - really, try not to worry about your height!  There's nothing you can do about it one way or the other, aside from have good posture, so no use spending time on it.

 

By the way, my husband is 6'1", and his mom is probably about 5'1".  I think his dad was tall, but not as tall as he is.

kid go and play football.  Staying in doing questions on answerbank isnt going to get u taller, itll stunt ur growth if anything so go and get some exercise
