    Will I grow anymore or am I finished
    Hi, I am 19 years old and I am 5ft 11 1/2 inches tall. My mom is about 5ft 3 and my dad is 6ft 3. I was somewhat a late bloomer and didn't start growing rapidly until I was 15. Will I make it to 6ft 1 or is my current height my final height?

    Are you male or female? Im assuming male.
    I think it is a rule of genetics that a son will always grow taller than his mother. By how much who knows, but I'm sure I learnt at school in science that a son will always outgrow their mother.. I have tried to think of examples where this isn't the case and can't think of one...
    But a son will not necessarily be taller than his father. It doesn't work that way!

    I would think that you have probably gotten as tall as you are going to get. You may grown another inch but I don't think you will be 6ft 3 like your dad if you are already 19.

    I don't want to be as tall as my father, I just want to be 6ft 1.

    We really cannot tell. That is truly up to your genes to decide. What is 2 inches give or take anyway?
