Im worried that I will never reach my dream height of 6'2", right now im like 510-511 and i barely grew during the school year, mostly during the summer. i was 5'8" 2 years ago. In grade 9 me and another class mate were both 5'9". this summer he comes back 6'2" and im still like 5'10". now hes like 6'3" whhile im still like 510-511. So when did you guys grow the most and is it still possible for me to become 6'2". and how much did everyone grow after age 16?

i grew the most around your age...15/16ish. but a lot of my friends grew a bit later. like my friend was 17 at the start of uni i remember was normal guard height now he is 6'1 and taller than all other guards around. so he must've grown like when he was 17/18 a few inches.

Hi, i'm 14 years old and 9 months. I'm 5' 9" . My dad was 5 10 and my mom was 5 6. My doctor said i would be 6 4. I'm 145 pounds right now. Do you think i'll grow.

Dont worry about what ur height compared to other people.Men stop growing until about 26 and women stop at about 21. If you haven reached your growth spurt yet then its fine. I'm My Dad was 6'4 and my mom was 5'9 and my doctor says that based on that and how I look now that I should grow to about 6'3.

Nice to see this going around.
Me, Personally, i dont think much genetics is envolved.
My mum and dad are about the same height, both around 5 "4 - 5 "6.
As for me im 5 "10 and am 16 years old, i grew mostly around year 8, and when i was younger i was fairly tall for my age.
My local doctor said i should reach 6 "1 which is what i hope to reach, but well have to see.

i was around 5'10 last summer and now im around 6'2 almost 6'3. I think ill probably grow to 6'5. I mostly grew this summer. if u really want to get a bit taller, u should do some yoga, or what i do is drink a lot of milk (7 glasses a day

)

a always grow more in the holidays. especialluy at christmas when we have 6 weeks off because i get lots of sleep.

im supposed to end up 6'2. im 14 and 5'9. so i will probably get there. lots of men grow later. my uncle is 6'5 and he was bout 6'0 and the end of high school, but he kept growing till he was 23
