Do I have a good chance of reaching 5'11?

Growth questions?


I am an 18 year old male( turning 19 in 2 months) and I have grown 3/4 of an inch in the past year. However my growth as always kind of been steady, I never really had a huge growth spurt( peak was 2 inches in one year 14-15) At 5'8 3/8 at just 15 my growth pattern told me that I was going to be 5'11, well it never happened( Dad is 5'11 mom 5-4-5'5) Both of my grandpas were 6 feet). when I turned 17 I had grown only to 5 foot 9. I Thought I was done growing( even though I looked like a 14 year old without any hair on my face) Well when I turned 18 during last summer, all of a sudden my voice started cracking, started growing light facial hair, fine chest hairspimples all over the place and grew 3/4 of an inch to my current height of 5'9 3/4. I still have very oily skin and my voice still breaks occasinaly and my facial hair grows very slow. Do you think I am going to be one of those people who doesn't stop growing until 21 or I have stopped already? How tall do you think I am going

Do I have a good chance of reaching 5'11?

Reply:predicting ones height is tough ...case in point my parents are 5'4" and i am 6 '2" so is my brother. my growth spurt happened in the 17-19 age.


i will address an aspect of the question which is the fear that one will not be as tall as he would wish ...you are heading towards that. not to put ur hopes down but try not to expect ur going to be taller, you will develop a complex of being "not tall enough" kinda like girls who want bigger boobs like there mother had ...eventually feeling inadequate as they are not big enough.


you have a few years to go and my feeling is you will definatly nit 5 10 by the time ur done ...5'11" probably ...but develop the innner confidance that height is only one of the good aspect of guys ...more importantly you cannot change it so roll with it ....
