Averages from CDC growth charts at exactly 14 years, compared with the chart's adult height at 20.
Boys at 14
These are the peak growth years for many boys, often 7 to 10 cm (3 to 4 in) in the fastest year. Early and late developers can look very different.
Girls at 14
Most girls are close to adult height; a few centimetres may remain, especially for late developers.
Why an average isn't your answer
Two 14-year-olds of the same height can end up at very different adult heights, because one has done most of their growing and the other hasn't started. Your parents' heights and your current weight tell the calculator which one you are likely to be, so your range is far tighter than any average. Check signs you're still growing too.
