Parents: 6'7" and 6'0.5"
Brother (24 yo): just under 6'10"
Sister (13 yo): 5'11"
Me (17 yo): almost 6'7"
Looking at genetics, am I likely to grow more? Because both my brother and dad grew until their early 20s. And I've had a single fast 7 inch growth spurt...

We can't really tell for sure ... But looking at your parent you'll MAYBE grow and inch or two taller..

It would be more likely you will grow than not.

You will end up anywhere between 6'8" - 6'10". People from tall families usually end up growing until they are 20. You will either have a 3" growth spurt, grow a little bit and then stop, or keep growing constantly until you're 6'10". Pretty solid genetics, I'm jealous eventhough I wouldn't like to be 6'7"+. 6'5" seems perfect to me. I'm still hoping for at least 6'3" because my father is 6'3" and I haven't even hit a growth spurt yet, I've just been growing and I still am so let's pray haha.

Tbh even at 5'11"-6'0" I already felt like I'm taller than most people I saw every day. Of course, occasionally saw 6'3"+ guys, but not that often haha.
If you're already 6' you don't need to worry :yes:
Be taller than 6'4" and you're gonna start having real problems with girls...

Yeah I'm usually in the top % and people are usually shorter but it's like an inch or so. I'm not worried, I'm happy with what I have but I wouldn't mind being 3-4(maybe 5)". The thing is that all of my friends are quite tall, I have at least 10 friends who are 6'2-6'5" and I have maybe like 3 friends that are under 6'0". The problems with girls are questionable, some actually quite enjoy guys that are way taller than them but 6'4"+ probably seems scary to most people.
How did you grow? When did you have that huge growth spurt and have you always been taller than everyone else in your class etc.?

So here's my rate:
13 - 5'4"
14 - 5'7"
15 - 5'10"
16 - 6'0"
17 - 6'4"
17.5 - 6'7"

Must've been a pain in the ass to throw all your clothes away. Mine rate is actually the same lol but I don't think I'll get as tall as you. I'd be glad to keep going like you until I'm 17 and then stop on 6'4" haha.
If you had to choose, how tall would you want to be?

I haven't met men people who stopped growing after 18 :)
If I had a choice, probably anywhere between 6'1"-6'3"

Jesus Christ, I hate being 6ft 1. I still feel really tall and I mean technically it's rather average but everyone I know is shorter. I wish I could be 5ft 10.

Why do you want to know about genetics and yet only say initiate family, grand parents ect have a huge influence because of dormant genes. Though I too am 17 and tall, though you should have gone through your major growth spurts, yet men can continue to grow til about 21, so you may grow another inch, maybe 2, but I don't think any more then that.
