How To Get Taller?

How to tell if i will get taller?

• im a guy, 16 years old and im about 5,6 and a half and really wanna be like 5,10 when im done growing. what are signs im still growing? i dont have facial hair or chest hair yet and i got really long arms. my arm span is actually 5,10, does that mean i might get that taller? i look a lot like my moms side of the family and they are anywhere from 5,8 - 6,2. the only reason why im concerned that i might not get taller is because of the size of my dad. my dad is about 5,6 and his side of the family is really short. I dont look anything like my dad i look a lot like my uncle on my moms side and hes 5,10. do you think i will get taller? what are some ways you can tell that you will get taller?

• Answer:

  Well, I'm no geneticist, but genetically, you share your parents genes, and if your day is "Short" and your mom "tall" your might either be a mix, so about 5'11, or anything hmhm, I'm not that sure, but your only 16, and from the sounds of it, haven't hit the "testosterone" stage of puberty yet.. So you ARE most defiantly growing, and on average stop by 18-25 years of age. Just eat right, stay active and lets see what happens over the next 5 years.
