Will I grow any taller?!


Question: Will I grow any taller?
my height is 5'9 & 1/2. and i'm male - also 17 years old and 3 months.
My parents are 5'2 and 5'6, i know they r short :S
But i hear some guys saying that most people grow alot taller if they have short parents..
im eating ultra healthy (cheese,carrots,fruits, exc.) no junk food nor alcohol/smoking
i get my sleep everyday, 8 hours a day, even take naps for 20 min a day
i stretch 3 times a day
I don't know HOW i can be so much taller than my parents..
but does this mean i can reach maby over 6'1?

Sleep required varies by age. Some teenagers may require up to 10 hours of sleep. The calcium in milk is very important, but keeping your body in the best of shape with exercise and eating from all of the five food groups is also very important.

My brother and I are among the tallest in the family and we ate lots of foods most wouldn't... salad, broccoli, lima beans, kidney beans... with decent portions of meat, bread, etc. Basically, the five food groups.

You should also check this natural product http://www.humangrowth.us I've been using it as a height booster for several months now This stuff is great, It is rare for a product to live up to its advertised hype. But this one actually does. It Works as advertised. Also, this specific product advertises improved joint health. I injured my knee and could find no relief, but after 3 weeks of using it I no longer have knee pain. I have tried other height gaining products, but I have seen the best results from this product. My height continues to grow.



Mate being a 6 foot 5 person I can tell you that you can still grow taller I am almost 18 and have not grown for 2 years but from what I know a lot of people get that last bit of growth between 17-21.

I am waiting for mine lol



If you look at the CDC growth charts for your age you will see that height increase tapers off dramatically after 17. That's where the curve flattens out. After 17 you might gain an inch and by 18 it's almost flat (meaning no more height increase). There will always be some people who might continue to grow into their early 20's, but this is the exception. At 5'9 & 1/2" your perfectly average height. That's remarkable since your parents are on the short side. In other words, you've done well getting as tall as you are now, but don't expect to grow much taller.
