    So I'm just curios on approx what height I will be ? If it's possibe even for me to reach 6'3

    So I'm in my early teens 14-16
    My dad is 5'10
    My mam is 5'6

    my Dads
    mam - small
    dad - 5'8

    my Mams
    mam - 5'9
    dad - 5'11

    At the moment I'm about 5'10 same height as my dad , I've outgrown my older sister and really want to grow taller so it can benefit my rowing .
    Is it even possible for me to grow to 6 foot ?

    AFAIK, there is no way to know what height you will be, there are so many factors that come into it. Ultimately, you keep growing until you are about 21/22.

    Really hard to know, too many variables... maybe look at our relations, if they are tall there is a possibility you will be too.

    If you get measured on your second birthday and double that height, that's a fairly good indicator. Bit late for you now. You might grow another 2 inches I'd say, depending on whether you're growing a beard yet lol.

    I was being sarcastic as I was probably 2 foot when I was 2 and I'm now 5'9 and I think i've more than 2 more inches to grow

    You'd be surprised how tall you were on your 2nd birthday! I was half of 5'5" on my second birthday. I'm 5'4" now. :p

    Once 'adulthood' sets in, men don't grow too much. Start worrying about your height when you grow hair on your chest. :pac:

    About 60 to 80 % of the difference in height between individuals is determined by genetic factors, whereas 20 to 40 % can be attributed to environmental effects, mainly nutrition. Eat your greens!

    It's hard to know, my father's family are all tall, my mother's are small enough. My sister is tall but my brother and I are both small, about 5' 6". Wanting to be taller doesn't cone into it, I'd like to reach 6' but I'm pretty sure that at 36, the only way I'll be growing is out.

    Usually if you are the first boy in the family the height might be the same or taller than your dad, its the average of the two heights of your parents usually especially if you were a girl but you be nearer to your Dad's height I say. Its still possible to be taller than your Dad! If second boy born in family can be same height or sometimes smaller than your dad or average height of parents. Could go either way each person is different.
