Will i get 5'8''?

i'm 15 years old, 5'6'', and female. from my dad's side i have tall genes, but my mom's are average. will i reach 5'7'' or 5'8'' by the time i'm 19?

Answer:
I believe we continue to grow into our 20's so 'hang in there' You still have plenty of time.
What's the difference? Why would you care?
I'd say probably, but there's no sure way to tell. if you don't reach that height by the age of 19 then I doubt you'll reach it later, because girls usually stop growth at 19. heres hoping you'll reach that though [:
Probably not. You're destined to be short.
the truth is... theres absolutely no way of knowing.

You really have to base that on your growth spurts and if you think you are done growing or not.

I would guess that you might still grow a few inches since you are 15, but once you hit 18/19, you will probably not be getting any taller.

either way, it doesn't matter too much. the average height for a female in about 5'6". so at least you will not be considered short for a female.
girls/female grow until they are 25 years old. so u have TEN more years to grow, honey. Dont worry!

i grew up when i was in school (abt 16-17 y/o) until that time... i wasnt that tall. and plus ... u have genes!
is that like the height you have to be to become a model or something?? hope you get to 5'8". im sure youll reach it soon.
Ask your mom how tall you were when your first turned 3. If you double that, that is supposed to be how tall you'll reach as an adult.
Gawd, eeeww, Why would any girl want to be even close to that tall ? Tall is NOT feminine. Small, short, petite IS. Actually I pity tall girls. LOL.
don't know. there really isn't a way to tell you'll just have to wait it out and see.
you might. i don't think there is any way to tell exactly though. when i was 13 i was 5'6 and in 2 years ( i am 15 ) i grew 2 inches and now i am 5'8, so it is very possible.
