Height depends on Genetics. look at member of your family to see the common height for your family. you really can't do anything to make yourself grow taller all you can do is be aware of your posture and take good care of your back.

what are you lookin' at? Answered by aliasajent on Sep 04, 2007, 11:03AM

Most guys your age are still growing. It would be difficult to judge how tall you will grow by the average height of guys your age. Like rnealw said your height depends upon your genetics. Sometimes you can be shorter or taller than those in your family, but it usually doesn't differ too much.

As far as growing taller goes, the first thing that determines your height is your genetics, the second thing that determines your height is how you take care of your body. Drugs, alcohol, and certain sports ie gymnastics and weight lifting have a tendency to stunt growth. If you take care of yourself through regular exercise you will grow to your potential which may not be the height you hoped for. Height is not everything. Some of the most awesome guys I know are shorter than 6 foot. A good percentage of the male actors out there aren't taller than 6 foot and are really successful monetarily, socially, and physically, etc.

Work on parts of yourself that you have control over such as personality, intelligence, charm, etc. height, outside of eating well, exercising, and standing up straight, is not something we control.

Well we are all different... take me for example.. I am 16 and I am 5ft 11! That is not really a normal height for a female my age... but it is only because my Father is tall and so is my Brother... My best friend (female) is 5ft 2... a short arse! Lol. Her Mum is short as well... so yeah it is down to genetics. However there is one other friend of mine who is male and he is 16... he is around 5ft 8 but his parents are both really tall. So he hasn't taken after them but I can tell you I have known him since he was a lil nipper and he has shot up so much.

Most boys shoot up over the summer (must be the sun lol) and when you go back to school... people actually notice the difference however great or small. So I wouldn't worry what your height is... everyone is different

I'm 17 years old and I'm only 5'6 so you can consider me short, but my moms family is VERY TALL , her brothers are all 6'0 and above. and one of her sitters are 5'9ish and her aunt is about 6 feet too, she herself is about 5'9ish also. My dads family is kinda short like little characters from super Mario . lol , they all range from probably 5'0 - 5'6ish, so I think when it comes to height I got my dads genes. Height inst really a issue in today's society. As long as you are healthy and take good care of your self with exercise it shouldn't really be a big deal. In least your thinking about playing Basket ball Or football then I could understand , But its not really a issue you should be worried about, at all especially since males stop growing when they're 21. females when they're 18.
