Geez boy, ur some lucky, why the hell would u wanna be taller than 6,3 anyways. It's hard to believe ur even as tall as u r, but you'll prolby get taller, most guys grow until about 18, so i'd imagine you'll get to 6,4 or 5

Ues hereidity is a funny thing, obviously there are tall genes somewhere in your family. My gandfather is 6'7, his wife was 5 foot 6, 3 of his children were 5'7 -5'9 and one of his sons was 6'6. My uncle (the tall one) married a woman who's 6 feet tall, they have 4 children, who are all 6 foot and taller, and one who is 5 foot 6 wink

My ex-husband and his brother are both 6 foot 7, their sister is 5 foot 9 and their parents are both shorter then 5 foot 9, as are his grandparents on both sides, however obviously somewhere there's tall genes flating around wink
