Are there any tests or anything doctors or anyone can do to estimate how tall you will be? i am 15 and im 6'0...i want to be real tall
 
If your doctor does a xray of your epiphysis of your femur, humorus (sp), or another major long bone he may be able to tell how much longer your are going to grow, and an estimate of your height. At the end of your epiphysis is articular cartilage and growth plates (simple description).
 


<< i want to be real tall >>

How tall are you talking about? Being tall isn't all that great, you know. There's back and knee problems to deal with, as well as finding something as simple as a pair of shoes. But it does have some benefits...

To determine how tall you might be, just look at your relatives. Right now you're probably in the prime of your growth spurt..
 
Shoe size can be a factor in most cases, sometimes it isn't. Being only 6'0&quot; and having a size 15 shoe is kind of weird though. My guess is either your extremely overweight or you're about to grow big time. Have you already been growing a lot? What's the rate of your growth?
 
I predict you will be 6'3&quot;. I am 13 and 5'10&quot;. I am taller than all of my relatives.😀
 
Like virusag13, go have xrays done on your fingers, knees, and arms and look to see how much cartilage you have at the ends. The more cartilage, the better chance you have of getting tall.

 
I'm 6' and I thought a size 12 shoe was big now I don't feel so oh-whats-the-word consicioenenkceuoous about my shoe size.
 
Personally, I think the X-rays would be a waste of time and money. Even with the X-rays, it still may not exactly determine your future height. There's a lot of other factors: sleep, eating habits, etc.

If you already hit your growth spurt, you may grow two more inches, maybe three. If not, then you still may have a chance to grow.

(6'5 with a shoe size of 14-15)
 
not all bad having big feet...i rule at soccer and anything relatin to kicking and all the Junior and Senior girls ask me if anything else is big cause my hands and feet are

I dont know about tests, but if you &quot;want to be real tall...&quot;

Dont smoke, make sure your diet is healthy, dont do any body-building, and get plenty of sleep. Of course I am no doctor, so I could be wrong.

Gosh, I wish I could be 6 feet tall. I'm only 5' 7&quot;. 🙁

I once had a friend in junior high that said feet size was a good determination of height. He had really big feet and he grew really tall (over 6 feet). A lot of girls were interested in him because of his big feet. I guess they knew he would be tall one day because of his big feet and girls like tall men.

I almost fell off my chair laughing.
 
Well, my mom told me of an &quot;old wives&quot; method of determining how tall I would be when I grew up. So far, she's nearly dead on with me and my brother. Measure yourself at 2 (ok, get someone to help you with that complicated math) and double it.

When I was 2, I was 3'1&quot;. I'm nearly 6'2&quot; and I'm fully grown. It worked the same for my brother too, he's about as tall as my father. This may not be the case in all situations, but it worked for me and my siblings (sister included).

There is an age in months that works pretty well when doubled, but I don't know what it is.

My parents measured me at that age &amp; quickly discredited it when it came out to being 6'2 or so. I'm currently 18 &amp; 6'2, so I guess it's not so far off.

there's a young age at which doctors can predict your height.. i think its what viper is talkin about.

My parents told me the doc said i'd be ~5'10&quot;.... i'm 5'5&quot; 🙁 I'm a short fool... i'm 19... i'm not gunna grow tall no more 🙁
