How Tall Do You Think I'll Be?

I'm 16 years 6 months old and I'm currently 5'5. My Mum is 5'5 and my Father is 6'1 and a half. I went to the doctors after knee scans and they said that my growth plates were still open. My ideal height is about 5'8 however I don't this is too likely

Also I started my period (if this helps) at 11 almost 12.

Impossible to determine but I'd realistically expect a couple of inches max

No the period part is not relevant, I'm not sure of any studies which showed a correlation on when girls started their periods and how tall they ended up being. We can't predict it really, 5'8 is just the average of your parents but it's likely you'll grow past 5'5.

Almost anything is possible, then.
Anything is possible. My mum is 5'5 and dad is 5'9, but I'm 6'3 (guy) atm.

Same height as you.
Mine is even worse. My Dad's the same height as yours, except my Mum's 5ft 1.
You're a girl so you haven't got much left. Possibly 2 inches.

You'll be 7'4'' and 2/3 of an inch. True story.
Depends on your lifestyle, if you exercise and eat right you will grow-:tongue:
