How much does the average teen grow a year?

How much taller will a 16 year old boy grow?

• I'm almost 16 and I'm only about 5'7". I started to grow really fast when I was in grade 6. Thats usually early for boys. I think the reason I started puberty that early is because I eat LOTS of eggs everyday. I ate around 5 eggs a day. And I still do. I think it's all the hormones from the eggs( which I think is bad, right) that made me have early puberty and made me have lots of body hair. So since I had my growth spurt at grade 6, approximately how much taller might I grow? I'm currently 5'7". I'm aiming to be around 5'10" or 11" at least when I'm fully grown. I've also started doing exercise everyday a few months ago. I do it after school. - stretch - 20 push ups - weight lifting - 200 jumping jacks - 100 sit ups - 10 times running up and down the stairs This routine takes about 25 minutes to complete. I eat organic oatmeal every morning without sugar. And eat all my meals. I try to sleep by 11pm. I wake up at 7am to go to school. I also drink 3 or 4 cups of skim milk everyday. I'm about 120 pounds. I'm not fat. lol. ......just really want to catch up with my friends, they all started growing so tall, much taller than me starting around last year. I use to be the tallest in grade 6 and 7 because I had early puberty, now I'm just average. I've also been at 5'7" for about 2 years already. Thank you.

• Answer:

  Doing heavy weight training, like squats. (from what our football trainer told me), is supposed to release testosterone, which could help you grow faster (provided your body hasn't already stopped growing). It is entirely possible however that you really are done growing, and won't grow anymore, but most males aren't fully grown until their late teens/early 20s.
