Here's a chart of average heights in the world (thought it would be interesting)
Source: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Human_height

There's also a height calculator:

BUT, i wouldn't depend on it! Since my height was 4 inches off from their estimation

It said that I would be [FONT=verdana,geneva,helvetica]5 feet 4.4 inches. I hope that's accurate because then I'll be taller than my sister ...and I won't be short!![/FONT]

i'm 14, and about 5'4 I think. I've heard of the "you stop growing once you've gotten your period" thing, and I got mine when I was like 12. I also heard you stop growing when you're 16. lol, Anyone know which is actually true? I want to grow at least 3 inches!

"In the 2 years following menarche most girls grow about 5 cm (2 inches) before growth ceases at maximal adult height."

If that's true I'll only be 5'3

It can't be true. It simply can't work for every girl, most even. No one can tell how tall you will be.

I just did that height predictor thing (http://www.keepkidshealthy.com/welcome/yahtpredictor.html) and it won't give me a prediction because I'm above the 97th percentile

It's wrong anyway It said I should end up being 5'4", I am 5'4", and my doctor said I'm still growing.

 

[cutxpaste]

I hope I'm still growing...I really want to be 5' 9''

5'10. I've always been tall, thought it sucked until I realized that there are advantages to being tall.

I'm only 154cms tall...it can be both a good and a bad thing. I wish I could be a little bit taller, but that's why high heels were invented

 

[estellaDARREN]

[FASHiON-CHiQ]

I'm 1.82 cm so that's 5'11 i guess?
