How tall will you be?

Have you ever wondered how tall you’ll grow? Well wonder no more! I had just come across a formula that will estimate what your adult height will be. You would be needing your parents’ heights as well for this one. Here’s how it works:

For boys:

Add your parents’ heights together then divide by two and add 3 inches or 7.62 for cms.

For Girls:

Add your parents’ heights, divide by two and subract 3 inches or 7.62 for cms.

Pretty cool isn’t it! Try it and wonder no more! If you’d like to know some more amazing stuff about yourself, check out Why do I have stinky feet? : and other questions kids ask about themselves at the library’s children’s non-fiction area. I had a blast reading it and found some awesome info about yawning, blushing, nose hairs and butterflies in the stomach!

  27. Ricky 22 November, 2009 / 12:02 am

    The user “Hi” your pretty much a liar! As if your parents are almost 10 feet! Even if they didn’t want a record, someone would find out! I doubt anyone will ever be that tall. You know on average women stop growing at 21 years of age, and men stop growing at the age of 25. The oldest someone has stopped growing is 27 for a woman and 30 for a man. Sure they are not something foot 10 inches? I’m 10 and will be 5″11 (181cm).

  28. Ricky 22 November, 2009 / 12:04 am

    I recommend this site to all kids wanting to find out their height.

    this thing is pretty accurate for me. both my parents are about 175 cm. im 16, 180 cm, 61 kg.
    it says i got about 2cm- 2.5cm left to grow. awesome being taller than most of your own family.
