you never gave your age. drink milk

Other Answers:
Yeah, you still have 5 years of growing.
Hard to say seeing you didn't mention your age, but generally you do most of your adolescent growing between the age 14 and 18, so from the sounds of it you'll be about six feet or so.
it depends on when u started puberty. I had the same question for my docoter. the earlier u start puberty, the sooner ur body gets matured. chances are u might grow a little bit more but probably not a whole lot. its nothing to be upset about.
really hard to say. you're about the same height as your parents, so that could be an indication of your height. i stopped growing in 8th grade, but have a cousin who grew a lot when he was 20. the only way to really know if you will grow some more is to have an x-ray and look at your growth plates. that will tell you if you are finished growing taller, or have some more room to grow. don't stress over it.
