Answers:
Nothing you can do besides good nutriion and sleep. The following info might provide some insight into why.
Your ultimate height is predetermined by your genetics but can be affected through poor nutrition. Your pituitary gland basically produces the natural growth hormone in your body. At a certain height it will simply no longer produce the same levels of growth hormone to stimulate growth and at that point you've reached your predetermined natural height. There's really nothing you can do much to make yourself taller just things you can prevent to make yourself growth shorter like making sure your getting the proper nutrition
I'm 16 and about 5'9, I have been growing about 2 inches for the last few years on average. Now i am slowing down
My dad is only 5'7 and my mom is only 5'4.
To work out your final height double your height from aged 2. yrs 2months.
Another estimate, is to add 6 inches 2 ur fathers height and tke the average of that and your moms. Some people have excessive genes and some have the opposite.So you could be up to 3 inches taller or shorter than that mark.
Dont lift weights that wil stunt your growth as is effects he epidermis ( or something lyk that) in your lower back that controls your growth. Try get a lot of sleep too.
How far into puberty are you, that can help determine your time left to grow
voice broken
do you shave, if so how often
how many growth spurts have you had
Just because your siblings are tall doesnt necerssarily mean you will be.
My grandad is 6'3, his brother 6'4 and his sister 6'2. My mom ( his daughter) was only 5'4, whereas her siser was 5'9!
Hope that helps, try find records of your height as a baby. So once you have found out what your meant to be, you will probably reach most of it by 16/17. and may a grow an inch or two passed that age. Milk only helps wen your pre adolescent and protien is for muscle
best way to reach ur maximmum hieght is sleep, but remember u cannot outgrow your genes. So just sleeping a lot isnt going to make you 6 ft 6 when your parents are both below 5 ft. But lack of sleep stops you reaching what you should reach.
anything is possible.
no u could get that tall, my dad is 5'8 and my mum is 5'2 and im 5'11 at 17 years old so u could get taller.. good luck
well if you have really tall ancestors, theres a possibility
My dad and mom have the same measurements as yours.
anyways im 16 5' 10" and still growing.
Lots of tall guys have tiny moms. Your nuitrition is a lot different than when your parents grew up. Stick with the fresh fruits and veggies and milk. And find some aerobic exercises. 5'9" may be easier than you think.
no you could be .
just eat healthy
hey...dont think like that.you can take my family members for example..where mom is 5'7, dad 5'6 & myself 5'8 and my elder brother is 6'2.you see..things can be happen,dear!so cheer up
i would not say so - look at the show little people big world - 2 of the kids are full grown - hold the right thought man
I've know several ppl who have grown all the way till they were 20. with proper exercise and good diet, i wouldnt be surprised if you grow beyond 5'10".
Proabably, but don't count it out just yet - you may still have a growth spurt left in ya!
Seriously, though, how tall are your grandparents, and aunts and uncles? Height of the parents is not always the sign of things to come.
My sister-in-law is 5'10", and her husband is about the same; their oldest boy, who is 15, is about 6'2" (same as my boyfriend, his uncle), and their 13 year old boy is almost taller than him - with a few more years of growing. Where do they get their height? Granpa Ira (my father-in-law) - he's 6'4" !
Personaly I think 5'4" in the perfect size. All the smartest and best people are 5 4. Taller people just don't fit. Try the MGB sportscar 5 4 is the right size! I have been 5 4 most of my life and it has served me well. Take my agvice, don't grow one more inch, stay 5 4. It will be great.
my mom's 5'4 my dad's 5'10. i just turned 18 and i'm 6'2.
Impossible is nothing.
My mom is 5' 0" and my dad is 5' 6". I'm 5' 9".
What helps is the proper nutrition and exercise during your prime growth years, which is around your age right now. This would be a good time regulate your diet (a lot of diary, protein, and vitamins) and get into certain sports that helps growth by stretching or jumping, such as basketball or swimming.
The odds of a male's height being determined by the time he's only 16 are almost nil. MOST males shoot up either at the end of high school or in college.
If it did turn out, however, that even after college you weren't as tall as 5'9, that can be a pretty cool thing. Here is a link of famous men who are under 5'9 (Al Pacino being one!)
Either way. it's all good!
Well your growth spurt must have not started yet. Yes it's possible. My mom & dad are the same height, and I am also 15 and my height is 6ft.
Do what I do, eat a lot, and you pick a regular sports activity.
Your height is decided by genes but nutrition gives you the ability to reach that height.
There is no guarantee, but eating (and drinking) the right things (especially fruit, vegetables en dairy products) helps a lot. Also, you have to abstain from things that may stunt your growth, like alcohol, drugs, etc.
You can be taller than you dad and even shorter. You will definately know when have reached your full-grown age. Well you can help yourself by eating a balance diet. Then again, people use to say that your children will resemble you, I think, it is not necessary so. It is more of the diet that you are taking everyday that makes you what you are now. If your mum doesn't cook you a decent meal everyday, how are you going to grow up healthy and strong, let alone tall.
You could still end up being 5'9-depending on if your grandparents are tall.
you probably might not be that tall because of genetics but some men grow faster then others. you may be smaller as of now but you may have huge growth spurt soon.I am just really tall.I am 13 and 5'5 .I am supposed to be 5'8.
