Jonathan asked in HealthOther - Health · 9 years ago

I've been wanting to get taller, but am I done growing?

I'm 18 y/o, 5'5", my mom is 5'1, and my dad is 5'2. I've grown something like 2 cm in the last few years. All my friends have outgrown me and are 5'10 - 6'5. I really wanted to grow to at least 5'9. Should i just give up on getting taller and hope that my future children reach that dream height?

    another 4 inches is quite a lot to grow, definitely at age 18... Sorry but i doubt it will happen
