How much taller will I grow?
Ok, so I just turned 15 a few days ago (gr. 10) and I’m 5’6 without shoes on. I’m a guy btw. I want to know how tall I will grow.
My dad is 5’10 and a half. Hes 176cm tall
My mom is 5’3
My mom’s father is 6’0 and my mom’s brother is 6’0
My dad’s sisters are around 5’7-8 and my dad’s brothers are 5’11
My dad grew really late. He grew 2-3 inches when he was 18-20. I saw a picture of him, he was around 5’6 in high school.
My dad’s side cousins (who are in their 20s) are 6’6”(seriously hes tall as a freak, he also is a pro golf player), and 6’1”. I have a cousin who is the same age as me and the last time we met which was in the summer he was 1 cm taller than me.
My mom side has only one cousin and shes a girl ( if you need to know shes like 5’4 and shes 16)
So, I’m like the 4th shortest guy in my grade (theres 55 guys in my grade). And i’m the same height as a guy who’s parents are (5’7 and 5’0).
I sleep aroudn 61/2- 71/2 hours a day.
I drink choclate milk in random bursts (like 1 week i’ll drink a lot and the next week i’ll drink very little)
I’ll admit i don’t eat vegetables. my parents pampered me when i was a kid so they never made me eat my vegetables and now i hate vegetables. (i’m trying to start eat vegetables, like carrots and celery in my dinner (but this is still not often, I go many days without eating a single vegetable)
I am stressed. I go to a super competitive highschool and quite a few of the students sleep 6 hours a day or less. we have a lot of hw and projects and the like. (95% of our student body gets 90% or higher percentile on all sections of the SAT and PSAT)
I don’t really know why i’m so stressed about my height. it also doesn’t help that i’m one of the shortest guys in the grade and even my friends who used to be the same height as me are shooting up.
So, if you actually know how tall people grow and you can enter this data into the brain of yours just attempt to give me an estimate of how tall I will grow.
P.S. I heard basketball makes you grow taller by jumping. I don’t play basketball mainly becasue i’m so short, but i want to know if its true. If there are any suggestions that people do that help them gain height (no pills or surgery) I would appreciate it.

You will probably peak at 5’9 at 18.
Most boys outgrow their dad but some don’t. If you grow late like your dad then you will undoubtedly outgrow him
At your age you are supposed to need from 8-10 hours of sleep per night so perhaps you need a bit more sleep as insufficient sleep can, to some extent, reduce your potential height growth.
drink plenty of milk…try to sleep for 8hrs a day and don’t give the reason that u don’t hav time to do ur hw and so on if u’re to sleep for 8hrs…learn time management.. u can finish ur work 10 times faster!!and jump rope for 15-20 minutes everyday!these methods have been proven effecive!!
Ok just take a multivitamin that way your body gets all the nutrients it needs to grow. according to a height calculator you are supposed to be 5’9 when you become an adult. http://children.webmd.com/healthtool-kids-height-predictor
The only things that stunt growth in our lifestyles can all be directed to just common sense if you have a lousy nutrition everyday, if you lack the proper/essential/beneficial foods to eat daily, it won’t necessarily stop you from growing, but it doesn’t exactly increase the chances, either. Also, lack of flexibility has shown to hinder more growth, as the muscle tissues around your growing bones may or may not be the most potentially stretched. Just in general, nothing really stunts growth, but simple things such as getting at least 6-8 hours of sleep (hormones levels are released during sleeptime, producing growth; also, to rebuild muscle and give energy), staying physically fit (cardio, aerobic/anaerobic variations), and simply staying active thoroughout the day is all a pathway to growth.If you really want to grow taller even after puberty then check this out http://www.howtogrowtallernaturally.com or http://www.growtallersupplements.net I heard about it on a health forum strangely enough. I tried it not expecting much since l am 27….and I have been using it for 3 Months and,l see 2 inches difference in my height already. it has worked really well for me. Some companys are now making already mixed versions, it works though there isn’t much for scientific evidence supporting the manufacturer’s claim, but it works, also my friend tried it and it really worked out well for her too.
