I just turned 14 and Im 6 feet. Im not concerned about my weight really but how likely is it that i'm going to stop growing because i don't know if I actually hit my growth spurt already or if it's just genetic from my 6'6" father

I would say halfway between your mom and dad. Genetics is hard to try to identify when I know nothing about you. Height depends on lots of family members so if I had mroe information I could tell you more but just assume halfway between your mom and dad.

well you'll probably end up halfway between your mom and your dad like neptune said or maybe a little bigger. genetics are hard as its miles of information that you would have to analyze so i won't delve into genetics.

You inherit 50% of your mother's genes, and 50% of your father's, so halfway between is a fairly good guess. You are your own unique self however, so it could be a completely different number.

At 14, it is fairly certain that if you are growing fast, you've hit your growth spurt. At this point, you are in the hands of puberty - an unpredictable force that can be tame at times and ferocious at others. So who knows where you'll end up. It could well be just as tall as your father, or a couple inches shorter. Only time will tell.

We can't say exactly when you'll stop or how tall you'll be. Be proud of your height.
Just don't abuse it.
