isnt there a way to tell from toddler height, early adolescent height, then dont drink coffee or anything else to stunt growth? seems like there is a formula, i forget the exact details.

but to answer your question if you are 5'8" you might hit 6ft if you get a nice growth spurt. or you might stay at 5'10" i was 6"1" at 15, grew 3 more inches over two years and stopped growing.

Plot yourself. Every height, every year, since forever, see what curve you follow, or see what curve your heights making.

A rough estimate can be taken from looking at your bones to see what stage of development you are in.
Also Sioux link shows a graph that compares you with other people with similar stats.

wait until you are an adult, and then measure your height. it's as simple as that.

Coffee doesn't stunt growth

Ask your family doctor.

There's a thing they do in the family one of my cousins married in to; they measure the kids' height at three years old. They double that to get the adult height.

They've been pretty accurate within a couple of inches.

(This is, of course, a very small control group, so take what you will from the data.)

hey, im 1.72 CM high... im 14 years old how high do ya think i will be when im like 20-22
