“Height growth?”
Hello. I have a question regarding my height. I am a 13 year old girl. I started puberty when I was 12. My mom is 5’2, dad is 6’0, and I’m 5’3 (maybe 5’3.5) Is there a way I can find out what my final adult height is? Or the approximate height. From my dad's side, all his family members are really tall (5’7-6’3), and the same with my mom's side, they are all tall (5’5-6 ft). Will I still grow any taller? Is there a way you could average my adult height in any way? Anything I can do to grow to 5’10. I want to also model, but as you can tell, my height is stopping me.

There is a way to predict your adult height. You need to use the Mid Parental Height calculation. Based on your mom and dad’s height, your predicted adult ht is 5 feet 4.5 inches, plus or minus 2 inches. You are on track to reach this predicted height. You will not reach 5 feet 10 inches unfortunately.
I wish you well.

Once you get your period, you’re going to get at most an inch or two more in height.
