How tall will I be when I stop growing?

[Anonymous]

I'm a 13 year old girl and I'm currently just under 5'7" (169.5cm). I started my period 2 days before my 12th birthday so basically a year and about 4/3 months ago. My mother is way taller than me at about 177 cm (5'10") and my dad used to be 6'1" when he was young but is now just under 6 feet. My older sister (21) is the same height as my mother but maybe a tiny bit taller since my mom is losing height. I'm really curious about my future height.

You'll likely be about the same as your sister. HOWEVER, if you eat healthy and have healthy habits like getting fresh air, sun, and plenty of exercise, you will likely be a bit taller which is a good thing for your health.

And don't worry about boys; there will be plenty of boys who will fawn over you no matter how tall you become.

PS: You are taller than me already! (I shrunk a bit with age.)

Thank you! And no, I'm not worried about boys at all, I actually really like it when I'm taller than most people. (boys included :))

Oh really? So, you're going to be one of those rare girls who is fine with a boyfriend shorter than you?

Definitely! Same height would be ideal actually, so none of us could call each other shorties. 1-3 inches taller or shorter is completely fine as well. Height doesn't matter as long as it doesn't get in the way of normal romantic activities.. Like, how will you kiss someone a foot shorter or taller than you? No wonder people have back problems!

I don't think you are going to grow much more than what you are, usually women stop growing around the age you are at now, up to around 14 and if you are going to grow more then you shouldn't expect more than an inch within a year, you'll probably remain the height you are at now tho

I don't know, I'd guess about the same as your sister. My sister is a bit taller than my mom and we all are around the same height.

Id guess you will be around 6ft tall , based on mother.

Maybe you stop already, as it says in short teens, tall adults trope, girls stopping sooner.

Maybe if you’re 5 foot seven now maybe 5”10
