    Question about height? Please help!?

    Ok, so today i went to the endocrinologist because i am 15 and only 5 ft. I know, i am short, and my doctor wanted me to go because she knows i dont believe that i will be tall when when i get older, even though she says i will.

    Anyway, my pediatrician took a bone xray of my hand to figure out my bone age. SHe said it was of age 12 and i would be somewhere between 5 9 to 6 ft. Now when i went to the endocrine. today she examined it and said i am a late bloomer, but my bone age is 1 and a half and she said her calculations come to me being 5 foot 7, but since i am a late bloomer and all of my relatives are tall, she said i could go to 5 9 to 6 1. She got the 5 7 from books using a formula with the bone age.

    Now i am asking which height do you think i would turn out to be, based on the info above? Would i be more towards 5 7 or more towards 5 9? My dad was 6 ft2 and my mom is 5 4 and every male in my family is over 6ft accept 1 (5 10). I really dont want to be 5 7/
    I am actually 14, typo sorry

    Why do you think we can give you a better medical opinion than your own doctors?
