You just got bad genetic recombination I guess.

A 5'4" woman and a 5'11" man would usually make a son that's ~5'10"

You'll probably end up at 5'8".

The same reason a kid with the same sized parents could be 6’7 at 16, cus of genetics. You still got 3-5 years of growing left so chill before you go all out with the shoe lifts and roids.

Stupid reply, the vast majority of men end up the height of their dad or taller.
Not if the mom is a short subhuman.

My mom is 5'5 and my dad is 5'10 and I'm 5'7 since late 14. 17 now

My legs are freakishly long, I'm a framelet, anorexiamaxxed and ppl say I look young af for my age. I would be happy if I had a late spurt to even 5'9" at least. Not 5'8 tho

Retard post jfl wtf

5'4 is avg female height in the US. Most males end up 5'9 with a 5'4 mom and 5'9 dad...

5’4 isn’t short for a women in the west tho bro. If a 6’1 guy has kids with a 5’2 women or shorter, very low chances that the son will be over 5’10.
 
My dad is 6'0, mom is 5'7 and I'm 5'9

Genetic recombination can be a bitch

Obviously. Never denied this

But you said something else originally

Most males end up the average of their parents heights. It's called midparental height prediction. But for the calculation you do this:

((Mom + 5 ) + (Dad))/2 = prediction

((62 + 5) + (73)) = 5'10"
 
my parents were super short. mom 5'2, dad 5'7
 
My dad is 6'0, mom is 5'7 and I'm 5'9

Brutal. Like 90% of men with those parents end up 6ft cuz that's the midparental height

“But you said something else originally”

I did, but I didn’t at the same time. Women are typically shorter because of higher estrogen levels. It’s very common for women in tall families to grow to a height of around 5’4/5’5 but of simply high estrogen levels or early ass puberty. Women under 5’2 typically are carriers of dominant short genes and typically don’t give birth to tall offspring unless the male is very tall. Whereas 5’5 for a women is where the chances of having a son that grows taller than 5’10 is very very likely unless she has kids with a short father under 5’8. Another thing to keep in mind here is that OP is only 16 and is very likely to grow several inches by his 21st or even 25th birthday. Even with my subhuman genes I grew about 2.5-3 inches after 16 and counting (hopefully).

You haven’t grown since late 14. I assume you were a case of early puberty and thus didn’t grow to your potential. Since boys tend to grow 4-6 inches after 14 depending on Tanner stage. So you shouldve been around 5’9-5’10 by this age, and 6’ on your 20th birthday. If you had normal puberty. Are your growth plates still open?

I wasn't an early bloomer tho trust me. I followed the average growth curve. I just fell off

Your bones could’ve matured early though. Early bone age = growth plates fuse early. And high estradiol levels fuses growth plates. That or you have constitutional growth delay where growth can stop for a period and then resume. I don’t think that lasts 3 years tho. I’m not a doctor so I can’t say. I would definitely get a knee/wrist X-ray if I were you.
