my dad's 5'7 and my mom's 5'3. i'm 16 and i'm only 5'7. I've started puberty and 11-12 and i've never had a growth spurt. My doctor said that i still have 2-3years to grow up. Will i at least be 5'11?

You've matched your fathers height and you assume your going to be taller?

But yes, you are still growing about 22 is when you stop, though , you probably at your standard height now

odds are unlikely. Some people just don't get tall, you probably had a growth spurt just not to the degree you'd like or expect. Just find solace in the fact if anyone starts a fight with you, being short gives you an easier more direct shot at the nuts.

Not necessarily. I'm ~10cm higher than my dad and mom, even though I look like my dad's carbon copy facially :p So the OP can still grow quite a bit.

Don't wish to be very tall; it's not beneficial. Some taller guys might take the mick out of smaller guys but it's really just deeply set insecurities.

Wish to be tall enough to be average height (5'9 - 5'10) and nothing more because I wish I was. Being tall has a negative impact on health and can make fitting into the world more difficult.

Average hieght in United States is down to 5'4" due to diversity... Just because you notice tall people there are plenty of small ones

I started out as one of the tallest kids (I was 5'1" in at 9 years old), then from ages 10-15 I only grew 3 inches (and I was shorter than most of my friends). I was 5'6" at 17. I am 6' flat now at 19. Growth is weird lol. Don't worry about it too much :p

some grow slowly and don't exactly spurt, but chances are you are still growing due to your age. Just sleep and drink lots of milk. That will aid to whatever your body plans to do on its own.
