   Yes, I can see you easily getting to six foot and, perhaps, slightly beyond

   From your description and since you started puberty two years ago, it sounds as though you’re quite well developed. You seem to have quite a lot of body hair for a boy of your age (I imagine your pubic hair is well grown and you’re getting underarm hair) and that suggest a late stage in puberty. As a result your height spurt may be nearing or at its end. However, many boys keep growing slowly until they’re in their late teens and a few until they’re in their early twenties.

   With parents at 5ft 6in, it’s not likely you’ll reach 6ft to be honest. A predicted height for a boy with parents of 5ft 6in is about 5′ 8 1/2in (though there are often exceptions) so you may not get a lot taller.

   The most likely prediction for you, a boy who’s at a fairly advanced stage of puberty, who’s 5ft 8" and has parents 5ft 6in is that you will probably grow a little taller but you cannot expect a major growth spurt now. Still, you’re a good height already! I’m shorter than you and nobody points and laughs! Hope this helps!
