13.5M (almost 13.6), 5’10” Now—How Tall Will I Be? (Tanner 4, Parents 5’11” & 5’5”)
Hey r/heightgrowth, I’m 13.5 years old (born Oct 30, 2011—technically 13.52, almost 13.6) and just measured 5’10” (177.8 cm) in the morning with a tape measure (5’9.5” at night). A stadiometer on April 19 had me at 5’9.75”–5’9.8”. I’m 64 kg (141 lbs), shoe size UK 9 (was UK 8 last year). My dad’s 5’11” (180 cm), mom’s 5’5” (165 cm), and I was 5’0” (153 cm) at 10-11. I’m in Tanner Stage 4—deep voice, light facial hair, underarm and pubic hair, and veiny arms when warm. I sleep 8 hours, eat chicken/meat 2-3 times a week (mostly veg otherwise), and have a slightly weak immune system. I’ve grown 22 cm since age 10-11, and about 0.5–0.6 cm in 13 days (April 19 to May 2). How tall do you think I’ll be as an adult? I’ve heard predictions like 6’0.5” (183.8 cm), range 5’11.5”–6’2.5”, with 99% chance of 6’0”+, but also that I might be close to my genetic ceiling. What’s your take? Thanks!
