Graphs

The first two graphs shown are the percentages of males and females that are taller than their parents.  The last graph shows the combined total of both male and female youth that are taller than their parents in percentages.

In the above graph I have shown my results from the table that I have tallied from my results page. Click here to view my tallied surveyed results.

In this chart, almost 50% of males at the age of 12 are taller than their mother but none are taller than their father.  Almost 100% of the 13 year olds I surveyed are taller than their mother but none of them are taller than their father.  The results will vary from age to age because it differs from student to student.  I randomly chose students of the shown ages not knowing which would be taller than their parents, and I also didn't survey the same number of students of each age so the percentages will vary. 

I have also made this graph based on my chart of results from the youth I have surveyed.  The growth rate between male and female start at different times, girls grow later than guys do.  As you can see, no one I surveyed at the age of 12 is taller than their mother or father. As females get older more start to get taller than their mother's, but because of the small amount of 18 year old females that I surveyed it just happened that the one female I did survey wasn't taller than her father or mother. 

In this final chart it shows that by the age of 15 a lot of youth are taller than their mothers, and by the age of 18 almost 50% of youth are also taller than their fathers.
