Can I reach near 5'11?!
Question:
Can I reach near 5'11?
I am an 18 year old male( turning 19 in 2 months) and I have grown .60 of an inch in the past year. However my growth as always kind of been steady, I never really had a huge growth spurt( peak was 2 inches in one year 14-15) At 5'8 3/8 at just 15 my growth pattern told me that I was going to be 5'11, well it never happened( Dad is 5'11.5 mom 5-4) Both of my grandpas were 6 feet). when I turned 17 I had grown only to 5 foot 9. I Thought I was done growing( even though I looked like a 14 year old without any hair on my face) Well when I turned 18 during last summer, all of a sudden my voice started cracking, started growing light facial hair, fine chest hairspimples all over the place and grew 3/4 of an inch to my current height of 5'9.7. I still have very oily skin and my voice still breaks occasinaly and my facial hair grows very slow. Do you think I can grow somemore, maybe as tall as my dad?
Answers:
David Robinson (San Antonio Spurs) grew 3 inches while in the Navy after turning 18. A friend of mine grew 4 inches between 18 & 20 while in college. While most people stop at 18, there are plenty that keep growing. From what you describe, there is a good chance you are one of them.
