Sorry Davgist, but I do not remember exactly.
But, he was taller them me (5'2" but shorter than his dad 6'2"). May be the same height as you?
You are 5'6" at the moment and you are still growing, so I have no doubt that you will grow a little taller, but there are no guarantees how tall you will end up being. This is one of the mysteries of life. You will just have to wait and see and stop worrying and enjoy your young life. You will be old before you know it. Tempus fugit! (Time Flies!)

If your dad is 6' 2" I think that you will grow at least that tall. Boys keep growing longer than girls. Even into your 20's you will grow and fill out through your shoulders and chest. Don't worry, you will be really tall. My dads 5'10" and my brother is 6'1", and I am 5'8". I quit growing at 15 and he kept growing for years. Then his arms became muscular and his chest broadened, way bigger than dad.
Girls mature faster, so it is possible you will get tall. I know my ex husband was one of the shortest in his class in junior high. Then one summer I think after his freshman year, or maybe sophomore year, he came back from summer vacation about a foot taller! But my brother is about my height and never had a growth spurt. He's about 5'6" or 5'7" Look at the height of your parents, but different kids in the family are different. In other words, it's very hard to predict. What you can do is get physically fit so you have good posture and a nice body, even if it's not tall. Tall is not all it's cracked up to be, anyway. My boyfriend is my height. His size doesn't hold him back at all. Women think he's hot and he can defend himself against bigger guys very well.
Talk to your doctor about Human Growth Hormone. It can help young people continue to grow for a while. In my son's 14-15th year, he grew 6 inches. There is still hope!
