Males usually grow until they reach about 20-21, if that doesn't work be comfortable in yourself and height means nothing except if you play b-ball.

That is who you are. You can change some things through surgery, but why? You are special and unique as you are. I'm only 4'11" tall, and I used to wish and wish that I would grow taller. Well, I didn't, and now I accept that I can't change it. Be happy with who you are! :-)

well people grow taller till the ends of the long bones keep growing ...once they are fused no gain in height is usually possible. If you feel that your growth is not proper do get an appointment with an endocrinologist who deals with problems of growth...however i think your height is sufficient ti leading a normal and fruitful life...so why worry there is more to life then just being tall!!

u will probably stay that heighth. maybe grow a1/2 inch more. but iam 14 too and i have stopped growing. i am 5'10 and i have tall parents too. i know tht i have stopped growing bc i went to the doctor to get an x ray on my foot and he said he cud tell i was done growing bc the growth plates in my ancles have decreased in size. so i might, prob not, grow like a1/2 inch...\nhope i helped!\n\nxo

You could ask your doctor, but I think it all depends on heredity (your genes).  \n\nA simple trick to appearing taller:  stand and sit up straight.  If you slouch, you will look shorter.

I would say short. At 15 I was my tallest but perhaps you'll grow some more.

You know, the funny thing is that there's like some dormant gene that happens sometimes with these types of couples and their kids become tall, for whatever reason. So, you could wind up like 6'2" or something like that, but most likely you will wind up with a height similar to your father, so like 5'9" to 5'11"

Sorry, But I have to agree with the others that have answered your question.\n\nHow tall you will be depends on how tall your parents, grandparents, great-grandparents are or were. \n\nUnfortunately there is not an exercise that will make you taller.

Registered Nurse here; Yes dear you will still grow taller.  It is true that males reach there growth rate later than females, also true that by the time you start your menstrual cycle you have grown in height, more than you well ever grow again.  But at the tender age of 13 you have at least two more inches left, possibly more.  Much depends on genetics, such as your parents height.  Hope this helps.  Thanks for the opportunity to address your question. :))

relax, you're only 15.  I'm assuming rbbie is a male, males continue to grow until about age 21.  Look at your parents, you'll be a similar height as they are.

No one is finished fully growing until they are 21.  There is potential that you could still be growing.  Since your parents are shorter, you probably won't grow too much taller naturally.  As for pills...are you talking about growth hormone?  That usually helps more in kids who haven't had their epiphyseal plates attached yet, which you have.  As far as I am concerned growth capsules won't work at your age.

Well you can not increase your height.  However be happy to know males have one more groth spurt at 25.  If you are lucky you will grow then if you are not then you will just bult up a bit.

I suppose you mean 57 inches. That's not really too short for 16 years. You are most likely still growing. When I was at school there was a guy who was a good twelve inches shorter than me. When I met him at our ten year reunion he was as tall as me, and I'm about 6 foot 2. It was funny because he had to tell me who he was. I didn't recognise him at all.

You are tall, man. I am 5'11 and I'm 20. When I was ur age I was 5'5. I think you will be about 6'4 when you reach 18, but that does not mean you'll stop growing people grow until they are 25. I grew one inch taller this year.

You can't gain height like that.\nIt's genetics and enviroment together.\nIf you're smoking, drugs etc stop it. Eat a lot of foods full with calcium and hope for the best.\nIf your mom and dad are short or at your height.. Most chances you'll stay at the same height.\nIf you're in the end of your puberty you wont grow much. You can go and take a Xray of your bones, they can tell you what "age" are your bones, this way you can see if your bones have rached their full potential or not.\nTake care.

The best way to grow taller is to eat nutritious food and excercise. Because of your age, you may be nearing your last spurt of growth. It is important that during this last spurt of growth, you excercise and eat healthily because this might be your last chance to grow taller. You may be able to grow up to an inch.

I'm the same and I hope I get taller, all I know is that women stop growing at 18 but men can grow until 25.\nSo who knows?
