Hello doctors, I am 16 years old and I am 5.5 feet (same tall as my dad). I have a doubt that whether I can grow taller or not. My father's height is 5.5 feet and my mother is almost 5 feet. My curiosity wants to know if there is any possibilities that still I can grow taller? About my family background: my mom's brothers are almost 6 feet including my grandfather and grandma almost 5.3 feet. But somehow my father's family background is little bit harsh, my uncle is 5.7 feet. About me: I am almost a obsessed boy n recently I gain almost 6 kg. My diet is mainly chicken, salmon fish and lentils. I eat a lot (whatever I see mainly fast food). I personally think that I have stuck in this height for almost 6 months. And yes I don't do a lot exercises (in fact I don't do any exercises), basically watching tvs laying on sofa. In conclusion, can I still have a chance to grow taller? I am very much concern about my height unlike others who've already achieved height upto 5.8 feet.
