I have just turned 16, my height hasn't grown fully yet I am 5"5, my dad is about 6"1 and my mum is about 5".Do you think my height will grow?

It depends honestly. I have a friend that's in your exact position, but he's done growing. It also depends on when you started puberty and everything.

Some guys hit a growth spurt as old as 18. My cousin was 5' 8" until he was close to 19 then over the summer he shot up to 6'0. So yea you'll probably grow more. I think you can take your height at age two and double it to figure close how tall you'll be or Add the height in inches of your dad and mom plus 5" then divide by 2.
I hope this helps

It's very possible. Men don't usually stop growing until somewhere between 18 and your early twenties I think

That is a bit of a height difference. It would b e more common for boys to follow their dad, and girls their mum, but no guarantees. Only time will tell for sure

Probably you will grow more. It all depends on your genes. How tall are the other guys in your family. That's usually a good indication.

Usually boys grow a bit more I think. Some don't though, just depends on family and puberty like the others said

Well I think that's pretty hard to predict. You could definitely have another growth spurt that will increase your height. It seems like between your mom and dad there's a pretty wide difference in height, and I guess genetics might play a factor as well. I'd say don't worry about it because that won't change anything. Make the best of what you have.

Yep, you still have a lot more years where you can have a growth spurt. I'm 16 and 5'9" (which I couldn't be any happier about) but my mom still thinks I'm growing. Still, it's completely possible for you to keep growing, so don't get upset about it.

Well, you won't reach 6'1", but I think you could expect to be at least 5'8", which is about average :)
