Answer #1

“Honestly, your height probably is in the families jeans.”

Anyone who spells genes as jeans has no knowledge of genetics.

There are 7 key markers to growth. These markers on on/off. Using simple binary you can deduce that there are 2^7 or 128 unique heights for humans. Nutrition is the other factor.

If you want to become taller sleep 9 hours every night and get all the nutrients your body can use especially calcium and vitamin D. Use calcium tablets and multi-vitamins alongside eating nutrient rich foods.

Answer #2

well if your grandmother or grandfather was tall you could be tall. thats like with my brother. my parents are really short but my grandpa was really tall. and so my brother is taller than both my parents but like more then half a foot.

Answer #3

Honestly, your height probably is in the families jeans. If your Dad was always his height and your mom was always her height… you might be stuck at that height. I wouldn’t worry too much about it, give it time.

Answer #4

There is a possibility you will outgrow both of your parents by far, especially considering you’re already their height (or taller) at your age. My fiance’s parents are on the shorter side, but he and all of his siblings are pretty tall.
