I've been wondering if I'm going to grow anymore or if I'm going to stay the same height. I am a girl, I'm 15 years old and I'm 5'8. My mom is 5'6, my dad is 6'1, my adult sister is 5'9.5 and I was told that I'm supposed to grow to 5'10-5'11. Does this sound like an accurate prediction? Because I assumed I'd be taller.

You will grow a bit more. We all continue to grow and change. You are still fairly young.

Most of the time, we are done growing by age 17. So, you may just grow some more. If you don't, that's okay too, right? My daughter is predicted to be at least 6' based on her current growth patterns (she's 6 right now) and who knows what will happen - she could stop growing at 5'3". Be happy with who you are.

I thought I'd stopped growing around fifteen went to uni (19) and had another growth spurt. So you never really know for sure. You are a really good height for a girl anyway so I wouldn't worry about it :)

Old wives tale states aprox 2 years post first period you stop growing
