Nobody can give you an accurate answer to this question. Everyone has different rates of growth and it is impossible to predict how tall someone will be when they have finished growing.

That being said, there are some factors that can influence your height, such as genetics and nutrition. Considering that you are from a country where people are tall and that both your parents are above average height, you may still have a few inches of growth left.

You can take measures to ensure that you are getting the right nutrition and staying physically active, as this can help you reach your full potential height. Eating a balanced diet, drinking plenty of water, exercising regularly, getting enough sleep, and avoiding unhealthy habits such as smoking can help you reach your full growth potential.

Unfortunately, there is no way to accurately predict how tall you will be when you have finished growing. Everyone grows differently and at different rates, so it's impossible to say for certain. However, considering your family's average height, it is likely that you will reach a similar height to that of your father and brother. To ensure that you reach your full potential, it is important that you maintain a healthy lifestyle, including eating a balanced diet and exercising regularly.

The fact that both of your parents are tall makes it very likely that you'll be a tall adult as well, as long as you're provided with the correct nutrition throughout your adolescence to ensure your growth won't be stunted, but it takes a VERY poor diet consisting of few meats to cause stunted growth, so I don't think you have to worry about that.

At 14 years of age, you shouldn't need to worry about this. This should be the least of your worries. Boys often hit puberty by the age of 14 and ends usually several years later (around 17 years of age).

With that being said, if you are that concerned about your height, stop eating the junk food and eat more healthy. Now, this won't necessarily make you any taller than what you are, but it is better for the body to keep it healthy.

You really shouldn't worry because when I was 13 I was one of the shortest girls in my school year. By the time I left school I was 5'8" one of the tallest. You haven't finished growing yet and we all grow at different rates. The chances that you will eventually be tall are high because your parents are. Stop worrying. even if you don't get to be as tall as you would like it's more about the person you are that's important.

Usually, the growth endplate of bones stops at the age of 21 for males. Whether we like it or not, it will stop. Sometimes you can trace this matter in a family tree. If a member is short in height, it can still be seen for the next generation.

On average boys start puberty around the age of 12 and it can last from 2 to 5 years.

Puberty is the process of growth and change that happens in the body as boys become adults.

Puberty is different for everyone and can start at any age between 8 and 14. The average age for boys to show the first signs of puberty is around 12 years old, about 1 year after girls begin puberty.

The fastest rate of growth is usually 1 to 2 years after puberty has started.

Developing physically into an adult takes 2 to 5 years. Most boys will stop growing taller by age 16 and will usually have developed fully by 18.

 No, you should no worry about it. You can get enough protein and minerals for getting enough growth. Do some workouts and drink some powder with milk.

It is difficult to predict exactly how tall you are going to be when you finish growing, as there are many factors that can affect your height. However, based on your family's height and the fact that you are already 177 cm tall, it is likely that you will grow to be at least as tall as your mother, if not taller. As you have stopped going to swimming and have started going to the gym, this may have an effect on your growth, although it is difficult to say to what extent. Eating a healthy and balanced diet can help to support your growth and development.

Personal data or the ability to predict individual characteristics such as your height. Height is influenced by various factors including genetics, nutrition, and overall health. It is best to consult with a healthcare professional or a specialist in growth and development who can assess your specific circumstances and provide more accurate predictions.
