Genetics determines what height you will be at 18. Genes are sneaky so if your parents are fairly short you could well be what they call a 'throwback' to a grandfather (if you are male) who may have been 6 feet or over. My husband is one of five children in his family and not one of his three brothers is over six feet and all have brown eyes, but my husband is 6' 6" tall blue eyed with a small cleft in his chin (like a small dimple.) We looked through his past relatives and he takes after his grandmother on his father's side. She was 6' tall back in the 1800's with blue eyes and a cleft in her chin. Young women and men start to grow more when puberty starts (around 12 years of age) and can go into growing spurts. Some young women and young men may be tall and thin and gawky looking from 14 - 16 and then start to bulk up a bit for young men, and the girls get more curves. If you are a male and end up being 5' 8" tall don't get depressed about it because most of the famous male actors are well under 6 feet. I have often wondered why. Tom Cruise for instance is just over 5' 6" tall (my height and I'm a female.) If you are a young woman and on the short side it doesn't really matter as you will probably be considered petite (the way females were expected to look not too long ago) and if you are tall almost hitting 6' then be glad of it and learn to walk with poise and perhaps get into a modeling career.
Many things affect height. Genes, diet and lifestyle are the main ones.
Yes if both your parents are tall chances are you would be. But that's not always the case. My bio teacher's parents were 5'7 and 5'5 ( dad and mom respectively) and he is a strong 6'2!! A lot of it depends on your diet. Consume foods rich in protein and calcium. You need to get enough sleep since most of the body's growth happens when you're sleeping.
