Height Prediction

I'm a 14 year old boy. I have always been very tall compared to the rest of the kids my age and I am now 5' 10", but it seems that my growth has been slowing down. My mom is only 5' 4" and my dad is 5' 9". But, i have relatives that are over 6 feet. Is it possible that I'm following their growth pattern and not my parents? How tall will I probably be?

Hello!

Your height will also be determined by genes of your paternal and maternal grand parents and their parents.

It is controlled by Growth hormone and other hormones secreted by your body.

Indulging in proper sports, stretching activities, physical exercises and intake of proper balanced diet with protein will help you in growth.

Take care!
