I was very short till I hit high school. Then I had a major growth spurt. My folks are under 5'7" and I'm over 6 foot. So there's plenty of time left.

There is a strong possibility that you will because you are only 15 and will not stop growing until you are 21. You have a long way to go. But it only depends on your genes so there is no definite answer.

Yes, most likely you will be tall.  My husband was 5' 10" and 123 pounds when he entered the Navy at 17 years of age.  When he got out 4 years later he was 6' 4" and 200 pounds.  Men continue growing until they are about 24 years old.  So, sit back and relax.  You will most likely grow into your feet.  My brother is the same as you.  He is 23 years old and 6' 2", still acting like a 13 year old.  Good luck with the feet, and the rest of your life.

There is a possiblity you'll grow taller.  My son is over 6' tall, and his dad and I are no where near that height.

It is doubtful at your age that your growth plates are still open however an x-ray would be able to show them.  The only other way to lengthen your legs is a operation where the bone in broken and separated with screws to cause more bone to grow in the middle.  It is a brutal surgery and I wouldn't recommend it unless you had a severely short leg or other problem.  5'6" isn't that short.

it depends on you genes, I have grown up 3 cm after age 28, it is odd but it is true.

it's always possible.  Genetics plays a huge role in how tall you're going to be.  Go to the dr. they can tell how tall you may be or if you have stopped growing.

no, you will definitely grow taller soon. you haven't gone through puberty yet. My son was about your height in 8 grade, he is now going to be in 11 grade and he is almost 6 ft! so you will get taller, just tell them to shut their traps when they make fun of you!

Puberty is the answer, no it's not uncommon you grown until you are 26, your grow spurt hit at 17, it's perfectly normal.

you will grow still untell your about 18yrs old some have been known to grow after that.    There is nothing wrong with being short.   some find it to be very atractive.  I maryed a woman that is 5'2"  so  it can be both am blessign and a cruse

I am 5'3 and until I was in 4th grade I was the tallest kid in my class I was in the back row for pictures, then one year I came back from summer break and I was the shortest kid, everyone else had finally had their growth spurts. To this day (23yrs) I am 5'3, so I went from being too tall to short. Don't worry

if you are very concerned the doctor has ways of answering these types of problems. i used to be small around 5'5" all of high school, then grew to be 6'3" now three years after. So everyone is different, but it will happen. make the best of what you have though ;)

You should drink your milk and eat your veggies....you shouldn't really worry about it b/c you really aren't too short even though you are 17.\n\nOther people are shorter

Maybe for another 2 years. After that, you reach the mature level where you can't grow anymore. Women tend to grow bigger than men at age 12 to 14. Then men starts to grow. I don't think you are too tall for your age. I think it's normal.

You are growing.  Because it is so gradual and over such a long time, you are not noticing this.  If someone had not seen you, say for a year, they would notice that you are growing.\n\nThere are three things that a guy can do to keep healthy:  Eat reasonably, exercise or do something physical every day and stay happy (as simple as smile).

You probably will still grow a little bit, but at your height/weight, you are in pretty good shape. Most females don't reach their adult height until they are 18. I was 5'3" as a freshman in high school and I was 5'10" when I graduated.
