Will I Still Grow A Few Inches?

I'm 16 and 5' 7" will I still grow a bit?

My dad is 5' 6" and my mom is 5' 1" and I grew 2.5 inches from 14th to 15th year. My doctor says I won't grow anymore but that's what he said when I was 13 and last year he said I would grow close to 6' 0". I don't think I have finished puberty since I don't have chest hair and I barely started getting hair on my belly area last year not mention I still can't grow a full beard. So will I still grow taller?

    I am surprised at your doctor's comments. he doesn't really know any more than I or anybody else does. One (you) have to just wait and see. Remember puberty usually lasts until the end of a guy's 18th year, sometimes longer. You could or could not grow any taller. You might find out how your relatives did like your father and grandfather (s) and mother. All enter into your hereditary factors!.

    Anything is possible - but - no guarantee's.

    Your GENETICS will be the determining factor.

    Have patience - & wait to see what all develops.
