Is there a chance I can grow much taller?
Okay Im 18 years old and I am 5′6 1/2 and like 25 CM from like 5′7 while wearing shoes. The thing is my parents are short… My dad is like or 5′8 and my mom is short >.>( DARN YOU MOM!!! LOL) she is like 5ft 1. The thing is that I am short and even my cousins on my mom’s side of the family are shorter than me but mostly everyone on my dad’s side is tall.On my dads side All my uncles are atleast 6′1, both my grandpa and great grandpa on my dad side are like 6′2 or 6′3. All my cousins on my dad side except like 2 are 6ft or so.
My only cousin on my mom’s side that is kinda tall is 5′9 or and its because he’s cousins with my dad and his dad was tall like 6′2 but his mom( my aunt) was like 4ft4.
I hope I can. The thing is Im not active or in shape. I dont drink milk… so I got my height withotu really drinking any milk Im kinda overweight. I want to change and get in shape, drink plenty of milk, play basketball etc. but I dont know how much more I can grow.
Also my friends who can tell the future and have been right so far said that he saw me growing atleast 3more inches. I believe him because I can see its a gift from God and he hasnt been wrong yet to my knowledge. Thtats 5′9… Even 1 or 2 more inches Im happy with but I need to grow. Any help please. Also you think that taking viatims( centrum- my mom just bought) every day will help… Im kinda afraid to ask the doctor for human growth hormone I could try but any help is deeply apprecaited 
:)

Your Dad is not that short, i kinda have the same problem im 5.6 and i am 15 my dads 5.5 and my moms like 5.3 … but see i grew like 4 inches when i was 13-14… I GREW aRAPidly……. And this may not sound good ..but u only have 1-2 more years to grow,. i recommend… run and drink milk daily…( well thats my plan I Hope to be 5.10 )
I suggest going into one of those taffy puller machines like in Charlie and the Chocolate Factory
Also it is because it is hereditary that you shall be short. God’s way of keeping track of people in a family 
You should finish puberty at age 21. So, yes, there is a chance of a growth spurt or two coming. Also, if you were a ‘late bloomer’ & did not start puberty until age 14 or so – then you could finish puberty at age 25. Anything is possible. Nobody can predict accurately how tall you will end up being – not even your gifted friend.
Yeah work out it stimulates your growth and you can still grow till your like 21 it’s happened in my family. i’m a 16 year old girl and i keep growing.lol. My eating habits suck and i just started taking vitamins two weeks ago. My mom side is short but my dad’s side is tall.
