How tall...?
Question:
Age: 12 in 5 days going into 7th gr
Gender: Female
Current Height: 5'3"
Weight: 110
mom's height: 5'3" [white]
dad's height; 5'11" [black]
my older brother who is almost 18 is only 5'4". Do you think my doctor's estimate could be wrong?
Answers:
Well of course your doctor's estimate could be wrong- no one can predict with 100% accuracy what your height will be. Since you're only 12, you've got a few growing years left. A girl can keep growing until age 21 (but usually stops at age 17.) It's entirely different for every girl.
I ended up about midway between my mom's height (5' 4") and my dad's (6' 6"), so there's hope for you!
If you want to be taller, stand up as straight as you can, and you will be...
The doctor's estimate is just an estimate. It's not accurate, just a guess. Sleep more and eat healthy. 5'3 when you're 12 -13 is actually a really nice height!
