The first one told me that I was going to grow an inch. The second one told me I wasn't going to grow. It doesn't really matter to me though. I'm satisfied with my current height.

John, forget online calculators.

Growth=genetics (look at the height of both parents) + bone age, only to be determined by an X ray of your hand.

At 19, though, the odds of additional significant growth are slim.

Haha that's true. But, in my opinion, there's not much of a difference between 6'0 and 6'1. So I suppose it doesn't really matter.

The first one said that I'm already taller than it thinks I should be (this is probably because my mom is 5'2" and my dad is 6'2", but it doesn't understand that I'm more like my dad in the height department)

The second one said I'll grow another 0.4 in, so my adult height would be 5' 8.4" (why can't they just round up? haha)
