Will I grow Taller?, Im kinda worried here?


Question:
Ok, so Im 16 turning 17 in October ,Im a Guy, Im 5'9" and Im about average size (not skinny, but not fat, I guess "chubby" would work, lol), My Dad is 5'8", my mom is 5'3", I did some online "How Tall Will you Be" tests, and they told me Id be 5'7"-5'8".Im 5'9" at 16 and a half so apparently those tests are not accurate...I do exercise, but moderately, I eat healthy, Im extremely health conscious, I looked up some stuff online and it told me that guys usually stop growing around the age of 19-21.Will I grow taller? Cuz my Half brother is 6'1", and My half sister is 5'11"..but they had a tall father who was 6'2"...but Im taller than my dad already at 16..so Im guessing that my height mite be based on my granpa on my moms side who is 6'3" cuz I look ALOT like him even though he has passed away.but yeah, can I get some answers on will I grow taller, cuz I don't feel like Im growing and its scaring me watchin everyone I know around me grow taller and me staying the same height =[

Answers:
I think you will get taller. Don't worry. Some people's height increases even when they are 20
you might be done growing. 5'9 is a good size though.Thank god your not a midget haha. well you never know. Im 5'11. my mom is 5'7 and my dad is 5'6. so obviously numbers dont matter. lol
Ok You will definatly grow taller

u just need to eat alot more and exercise alot more

thats simple follow what i said and at 20 u will be 6 feet 5inc

and really buff ... but at your age DONT DO DIETS UNLESS YOUR REALLY FAT U SHOULD JUST EAT ALOT OF HEALTHY FOOD AND WORK OUT MUSCLES
People shrink as they age, so those tests can't be perfect. Your mom and dad might've been taller when they were younger, you're only 16, you've still got 3-4 years before you're done growing. Why the hell do you want to be a giant for? That's a weird addiction. Might be an ego problem. I hope your brain grows bigger. If it doesn't, thats a REAL problem.
no one can truly answer this question. Only time will tell. Most boys do grow after the age of 17, so I would guess that you will at least add an inch or two. That is a good height. I have a friend that graduated high school at 5'8, and by the time he was twenty, he was 6'4.who knew? Don't worry because you can't change what its going to be anyway.
not to point u out on this but its amazing we r so self concious of ourselves we worry about somethi8ng like height, while ppl r being bombed, raped, dying of starvation n so on. anyways to answer ur question, u might hit a huge growth spurt, my buddy was a shrimp at 16, now hes a good 3 or 4 inches taller then me. but in the end, wwhoooo caarrresss man. ur made to get to the finish line with whatever u were born with, some ppl r just better equipped then others, doesnt mean theyll have a better life, just means it easier for em, so in the end, if ur ugly fat n stupid, and u made a good time of it all, then u won.
first you just have to be patient and stop wondering how tall could you be till you're 21. yup! the release of your growth hormones stops at that age. even before you were born the maximum height you'll get is already pre determined by your genes. but before reaching that age, there are some supplements that you could actually take to help you (a bit) to grow taller than your predtermined maximum height. lets say 1-2 inches taller? and the only thing that you could actually do is to avoid a certain activity that will hinder you from getting your maximum height, and that is.. going to the gym and building muscles. just don't carry heavy things as you are still in your growing age, as i have said, it dramatically stops the release of your growth hormones. the gym can wait anyway. that's all.
I guess that you will grow its nothing to worry about. My big brother was also suffering that problem but as soon as his age was incresing he was becomeing taller,just you have to do is exercise and eat healthy food.These are the days you should eat healthy.I wish you would be taller.
