Height

[biggestgreyever]

I am currently around 170 cm at 15 years old

My father is 180 and my mother 158
Almost every man in my family is around 180cm
The women in my family are around 170
My little brother 1.5 years younger than me and is my height already.
I believe that im average height but how tall can i be regarding genetics, like 180 max?

Hop on HGH, bro

could be that ur a late bloomer. dont jump into drugs, first check if your growth plates are still wide open or already close to being fully closed. if that's the case u could consider HGH

180 max?

In the netherlands it’s from 16 and my parents would eventually know because of the costs etc

There are no other ways of knowing if your plates are open or closed 100% but are there other ways of knowing its closed or almost closed?

from age 12-16 u can call them and go by yourself, although they will determine wether it is something to tell your parents or not. and i do not think that it comes with any costs as you should be insured for healthcare to be a legal dutch citizen

sadly no

sadly no

Arent the ending stages of puberty conmected to my growth plates? Wouldn’t factors like facial hair help telling?

 

[michaelkvd]

no, i thought so at first as well but you really shouldn't think that way. ur growth plates can be closed even though u have not started gaining facial hair. thinking that way to make an estimation is really unreliable.

i would really advice u to get an x-ray but i also understand that u dont wanna seem "crazy"

to answer ur original question i did some basic math, ur father's height + mom's height + 13 divided by 2 which is 175.5, this would be the typical estimate which can be 8-10cm higher or lower.

assuming ur a healthy kid it obviously wont decline until ur turning into dust at age 70, so ur most likely to become 175-180

BUT, that does NOT mean that 180 is ur max as u could also achieve 181-184 if you are lucky or use some heightmaxxing methods
