Hey I'm a 15 Years old male, 5'6 and my birthday is in may 21st.
My dad is also 5'6 but he looks still a tiny bit taller than me. My mom is 5'2.
I'm wondering what my final height will be or by when predictably I will grow again since I have not grown at all in the past year. I've only had a growth spurt once that I know of.
I'm not over weight or anything but I have just started doing some weight training and working out hoping to get toned.
I also have a older brother who is 4 years older then me and is the same height as I.
I don't know if it matters or not, but I'm also quite hairy compared to my brother and others my age. I also have more facial hair then my brother does at his age.
He says I seam taller than him but when I stand next to him he seams a bit taller in my view.
My parents say we're the same height, but his shoulders are higher than mines when next to each other which is weird. And when I look him face to face he also seams taller. Idk why or how if we are the same height.
I'm also the youngest in my family if that makes any difference?
I have seen the chart that tells you the stage you are in, and it says I'm 4.5. I'm not sure it accurately correct since I guessed in a question or two.
Can anything relate to this or anything?
I really hope I reach at least 5'9.
Help would be appreciated.

I just turned 16 a few weeks ago, and I am like 5'7 and my family is not tall at all, my mom and dad are both just barely taller than yours and my brother who is 19 years old is the same height as me... And don't worry you are only 15, and my cousin when he was in highschool didn't get a large growth stunt until he was in his senior year. He said he was the same height as me and you are now, and now he is 6'1. So don't worry about it that much, it will happen over time. You may grow, but you may not. Personally, I like to be shorter, I would just hate being tall. Just be proud of your height... Hope this helped, and you probably will grow still...

How tall are your cousins parents?
Because I've read that its mostly genes, but I've heard that its not always the case.
And thank you for actually giving me a reply, I really appreciate it!

I am speaking for a friend of mine, but he is 4'11" and is also 15. His parents are both 5'8"ish. The thing is he already went through a pretty massive growth spurt last year, growing three inches in 7 months. He also says he has pubes around his penis, but that his chest and underarms still are most bare, but have some hair. He does say his penis is around 3 inches hard, and according to his doctor, he is almost done growing, everywhere. How should he handle the situation? He is made fun of by everyone, including himself and me, but doesn't like it much. What should he expect?

I am taller than my aunt by like two inches and my uncle is taller than me by like 3 inches. So my uncle is the tallest between them and he is only like 5'10. And it does rely mostly on genes, but a lot of the time when people are more athletic they seem to be slightly taller, and just stretch and get proper nutrition and that will help your growth... but like I said don't worry about it too much... And it is no problem to help you out, anytime you need ANYTHING just ask...

It's all genetics. I'm 15 and 6ft. My dad is 6'2", my uncle is 6'5", and my aunt is 6ft. Be happy with what you got and don't worry about it.

Thank you all for taking your time to answer my post.
And yes, I know I am normal.
But I was hoping for someone that had the same experience or has had a similar experience to tell me there ages through out there growth.
And if they did any kind of exercise or sports that helped them grow to there full potential.

That was a really shitty thing for his dr to say... my dr told me that that everyone grows at different rates. When i had the puberty talk with my dr he said people start puberty at different ages an can grow an develop till their 20 an even in some cases 22 or 23yo. So tell him to hang in there its all coming he just has to be patiant. You making fun of him isnt helping him neither...

I'm 15 and my parents' heights are the same as yours! I am 5'8" though. My aunts and other people say I'm really tall, but in school, I'm in the front part of the line when we line up by our heights. Don't worry though, stay healthy and rest a lot so you can grow to your full potential :)
