    "I'm worry" about your English...

    But really, don't worry about it. Some people hit their growth spurts later than others. If you're not super tall, don't worry about it. Maybe you can get a job as a fighter pilot- they need short people.

    Do a search on yahoo for a height predictor

    you will likely be about 5' 9 as an adult.

    Being early does not affect that. Unless you were born with abnormlites. Some boys just grow faster than others. Here is one I did for you I put your weight in as 85 lbs. I was just guessing.

    Your boy will likely be 5 feet, 8 inches at age 18.

    Young men often continue to grow a little past 18 until they reach 21, but their height at age 18 is very close to their final adult height. This prediction is a "best guess" but it's still just that -- a guess. Based on the formula we used* there is a 50 percent chance that your boy's full-grown height will be within 0.8 inches (above or below) of this prediction, and a 90 percent chance that it will be within 2.1 inches.

    The fine print:

    Parents' heights are a good predictor of a child's adult height, but heredity only accounts for about 70 percent of what goes into deciding how tall someone will be. The other 30 percent comes from environmental factors, like eating habits (poor nutrition can "stunt" a child's growth) and exercise patterns (a competitive gymnast may not grow to her full potential).

    Sometimes a child will surprise everyone and turn out much taller or shorter than either parent. This calculator can't account for that possibility. It also won't work well for children who 1) are exceptionally tall, 2) are already taller than both their parents, or 3) have a condition that affects their height, such as growth hormone deficiency.

    Oh hell! You got years to grow more! Some boys are late starters. And girls tend to hit puberty and grow earlier than boys. Just have patience. You'll gain a few more inches....I'm not saying alot but your probably going to be taller than your mom most likely.

    The two months early thing and since neither of your parents are particularly tall may mean you'll end up shorter than average but your biggest growth periods are still ahead.

    Relax...in the end it doesn't matter and there's not much you can do to change it.

    I wouldn't worry about it, you will likely hit a growth spurt during high school!

    I'm 19 and just hit a growth spurt...I'm a girl but same difference, they said I would be done growing at 16....and Im only 5 3...

    most guys keep growing until early to mid 20's

    Don't worry too much.

    Worry when you're 23 and still 4ft tall
