Hey guys, i am currently 15 years old, and i am only 5’4. To be honest, i have not noticed any significant growth in height at all but maybe i just missed it, and already had a growth spurt as my parents are also quite short. My mom is 5’2, dad is 5’6.(My sister who is 17, is taller than both my parents, as she is 5’7.(Which is even more weird) Also, my dad’s side is tall, as all his brothers are 5’10 – 6’2, and my mom’s side was around 5’6′ 58. So i guess, my real question is am i done my growth in height and did i already have my growth spurt, but i just did not realize it? Also, why is it that my parents brothers/sisters were all much taller than them, yet they turned out short?

I had pubic hair since i was 13, but my armpit hair came when in my late 14′s. My voice changed around 13, and it seems to have steadied to a lower voice now(15 yrs age). My hands and feet are big for my size, as i wear size 10 shoes, and my hands, i’ve noticed got longer during this summer.

I am 14 and I am 6"2ft and I have a size 15 shoe am I goin to grow any taller and how tall could I get ?
I have relatives that are tall I’m taller than my parents

I’m 14 now but 15 in september. I am around 5 foot 3 which is considered quite tall in my family,but that’s because i’m from an east asian family (though my twin brother is tall and my dad).
Anyway, I used to be definitely above average in height in primary school and average in year 7, but now alot of people who were shorter than me are taller than me and my twin brother cameron was always shorter than me and since high school he shot up. Though, i guess he’s a guy and that happens but same with shorter girls who have shot up above me too.
I have been this height for a while now (I have a height chart on my wall), around half a year ago, i was growing veryy slowly like 2 cm every 2 or 3 months but now i’ve seemed to stay around this height pretty much since. I don’t think i’ve had a growth spurt or will have one or is it that i’m just growing VERYY slowly?
Also, I had my period before alot of my friends and developed before too, but my breasts are only a size 34A which is really small compared to ALOT of girls my age and some even in the year below. I’ve stayed this size for about a year or less as well.
I’m 41kg and I know this is quite light, but trust me, I eat alot. I think it’s because I have a high metabolism or i’m quite sporty. And I get around 8 or 7 hours sleep, but I do eat quite a healthy diet.

Is it possible i’m not growing to grow much taller than this? I am taller by a few cm than my mum, she’s about 5 foot 3 and my dad’s around 5 foot 10, my twin brother is 5 foot 7 and my other brother (17) is around 5 foot 6 or 7.

Is there any thing I could do to help my growing increase faster naturally? Or any other tips? Is there a way to check that you are still growing (Apart from height and breast size obviously, since these don’t seem to help-this is a bit stupid this question ha ha)
I know that girls don’t stop growing till around 18 but could it be different because i’m asian and to do with my parents genes?

P.S I heard junk food is supposed to stunt growth but I guess I eat quite balanced. Though, I like to eat sweets like most teens but I don’t eat them too regularly. And sorry and thanks for taking the time to read this 5 year long question. Aha

I’m 12 and I’m 162cm. I think i’ve stopped growing because i’ve been this height since like the beginning of the year/end of last year. My parents aren’t very tall, my mom is 158cm and my dad is 170cm. My sister is 15 and is the same height as me and has been this height for quite some time. I wanted to know if there is anyway i can grow taller naturally, like stretches, exercises, massages on feet, or anything!!! I really want to grow taller, like 170cm. My mom saw this guy on tv that slept with his arms up and sed that that helped him grow taller, is this true??

my parents Lent is normal actually my mom compared to women she’s tall.
my brothers r tall enough but my sister is short because of her uncles but my uncles r in good height.
well now am 14 am i doing to be tall or short.
my length compared to my friends i’m short to them they always say so but i find i’m ok because i read alot about what my height shall be in this age. as i said i’m 14 i was born at 1996 and my height is 156cm i’ve been for 6 months not growing any taller mom said don’t worry but i’m. i like tall people and i want to be. my question shall i eat specific food or do exercises that can help me grow taller?

Do you think that physical inactivity increase the height stops?
Especially in front of the computer every day?

I say that because I was two years tump of sedentary and I have not only increased half-inch ..
I had my first period almost two years and half when I was 12 and my parents are small mom dad 5’7”and 4’11”.

I have a chance to get high although more than 4 months celebrate 15 years ?
I’m 4’11” .

One of my friends is completely beautiful, she has silky hair and really big eyes [even without makeup]. She’s super photogenic and wants to be a model, plus she’s naturally thin [minus her chipmunk cheeks ].

The problem is, she’s 5 feet tall and done growing. Her parents are super short too. I feel so sorry for her, she’d be a perfect model but she’s too short!

My sun sign is aries and my rising sign is scorpio, but to my (limited) understanding, I have no scorpio traits whatsoever.

For example, I would say I am pretty outgoing, especially to those who know me better. However, when it comes to speaking to bosses, teachers and such, I am often very shy and polite.
My personality doesn’t get me noticed.
I am not secretive; I am proud when I actually manage to keep a secret! I always feel the need to share everything with anyone who will listen and sometimes I am a little TOO trusting.

I am average height right now but my parents are tall and I’m growing quickly (I’m a teenager).
I am naturally slim/average and I am blonde, blue eyed, and fair-skinned.

Is there a reason my rising sign seems off?

I’m 14 (nearly 15) and i’m 5’3. They say you can’t grow 2 years after your period starts, but that’s not true because I just shot up about an inch.
My dad is 5’9 (he used to be 5’10 though).
My mum is 4’9 (she used to be 4’11).
Just saying that because my parents are old and have obviously shrunk. So the real heights are 5’10 and 4’11. My older sister (who is an adult/finished growing) is 5’7. At my age, she was about 5’5, if that’s any indicator. So i’m 14, 5’3 and 100 pounds (if weight is a factor). My shoe size is 8 in American.

How tall do you think i’ll be ?

I am 13 year old girl and currently 5’2 and the doctor x-rayed my knee for medical reasons and saw the growth plate in my knee and he said the tallest I will get is around 5’3. But I have heard that if you have big feet that means you will grow taller. My foot size is 7 1/2. Will I grow any taller? My parents heights are 5’3 (mom) and 5’9 (dad) if that matters. Also, will exercises help me grow taller? I play volleyball and I’m joining a gym and going to do classes like yoga for athletes and pilates.

My parents are not that tall, I am almost as tall as my Dad and taller than my mom. Are there any good exercises which I can do to grow? Will I still grow taller? I am 5’4. Any good fitness exercises?? Or maybe a good diet!

Ok so I’m 14, 128lbs and 5’6 I’ve been weightlifting for the past year and a half now, and have only grown slowly in that time,I read up that it stunts your growth,if I give up the weights now at 14 is it still possible for me to grow? I now eat 2500cals a day, (all heathly,) gathering me enough vitamins and minerals and protein,carbs,fat etc. And now play basketball for 30minutes daily aswell as getting 9 hours sleep nightly, I was wondering if this is enough to help improve my chances of growing, I’m hoping to be around 5’10 atleast, I was considering to take up some stretches but I don’t know which ones work, do you guys know any? Or do you know any other ways I could get taller? And don’t give me any of this crap like elevator shoes or pills cuz there just a waste of time and my parents won’t let me get them, 10 points best answer, I’m a male by the way

K so I’m 11 year old girl. My mom is 5"7 and my dad is 5"11 3/4. I have strong genetics from both my parents. My mom was her height when she turned 12. I’m going through my puberty and I’m almost done with it. I started in 3rd grade. Since it’s summer here are the things I get to do almost every single day:
-Sleep 10-12 hours
-Drink lots of milk
-Swim a lot (My grandma and my neighbor both have a pool)
-Eat lots of veggies (We have a huge garden)
-Walk atleast 2 miles a day (Me and my mom take a walk every day)
-I’m a water baby! (Been drinkng it a lot since I was a baby) It’s my favorite drink!
-I NEVER drink caffeine
-I hate junk food and food with lots of sugar. So, I don’t have to worry about that.
I’m 5"00 and I want to be about in between 5"3- 5"5 before schools starts.
(Me wanting to get taller has nothing to do with school or popularity)
Plz don’t say you can’t force it and it depends on your genetics.Plz just leave some ways NATURALLY that I can grow taller. I will not take a pill or anything to do with medicine and stuff that isn’t natural.
Another thing, not bragging, I’m really strong. I can pick up both of my best friends’ at the same time. So I can hold about 200 lbs. I think I have lots of muscle cuz one time when I got mad I broke a wooden chair by hitting it. I know u probably wont believe me or you’ll say i have anger issues but its the truth.

Do NOT say pills, nor genetics-95% of tall adults have parents 4 inches or more shorter than them.
I would only like exercises and/or stretches. No sports. Not milk. Just stretches and exercises.

I’m 16 and she’s 14. We’ve been seeing each other for almost 2 years. I’m 5’6 and I don’t expect to grow much more. My dad is the same height and my mom is 5’2.
My girl comes from a tall family. Both of her parents are tall. When we met she was about 2 inches shorter than me and then she grew alot during the last 2 years and now stands 6’0 even in her barefeet. And she’s still growing! She likes to tease me by wearing high heels to tower over me even more and she stands close to me and look down on me to tease me and make me feel funny. She has one pair that’s so high that when she wears them I come up to her shoulder. I don’t mind it that much but she likes being naturally taller than me and I like her being taller than me now. I like her and she likes me but often we get stares and some people make comments. How do we deal with it?

I’m a 14 year old boy, and I’m 5’2.5 . I turned 14 on January 13. Both my parents aren’t that tall. Will I still grow taller? Or what can I do to grow taller? (diet, exercise, etc.) Btw I do not eat vegetables. Only some fruits. What vegetables should I start eating, or other things I could eat because I do not eat vegetables ?
Thanks for your answers!

I am chinese. I am 13 and a half years old. I am 5 feet 4 inches and 160 cm. I have developed pubic hair and is starting to develop underarm hair. My parents keep saying that I’m not going to grow any taller and im pretty scared. I do a lot of sports like running and swimming. Will I grow taller?

I’m 5’3 and 14 years old my parents aren’t that tall. I wanna grow for basketball

I have been playing basketball since I was 6 years old. My parents made me play because I was tall and naturally was expected to, as were my brothers. I think I liked basketball as a kid. Then when I joined a traveling team in 7th grade I realized how horrible I was in comparison to most girls. I have never been an overly aggressive person and this continues to hinder my performance. In 8th grade though, I finally gained some confidence and began scoring a lot in the games and even started. In 9th grade I made the JV team and I worked really hard that year to better myself so I was satisfied with my performance even though I didn’t start. In 10th grade I started on the JV and was easily one of our best players. I scored more than I ever have and averaged 8 pts a game (which may not seem like a lot but compared to the rest of the team, was pretty solid).
Now. In 11th grade I made Varsity but only because I seniority and there were no other girls trying out. The coach and I have never been on fantastic terms-we are both very awkward with one another. During this past year I left for vacation and missed a tournament, twisted my ankle and missed a game, got sick and missed another game. Overall, I hardly ever played and as the season went on I began dreading basketball more and more. By the end of the season I averaged 10sec a game, was completely discouraged, had no motivation to play, and hated/hate basketball. I cried all the time. My mom grew very upset with me because it didn’t seem like I was even trying to play anymore. She threatened to make me quit and instead of arguing I begged her to do so… I wasn’t the only one-many of the girls on our team hated the coach and wished the season was over, but at least they were still good enough to play in the games and make a difference. I felt like breaking my leg and sitting out the whole season so at least I would have some dignity in my injury. In our finals, I prayed that we would lose so that I didn’t have to go to practice 3 extra days. We lost. I know-it was completely selfish.
Ugh. Every time I see my coach and get an email about an open gym now I get this sick feeling in my gut. I REALLY DON’T WANT TO PLAY. But I feel like next year I will be a senior and it’s my last chance. I feel like I would be a quitter if I dismembered. And I don’t want to be a couch potato which my mom fears if I quit (although I’m pretty active so I think I would just join another sport instead). Also, I think it looks good on college apps that I play two varsity sports and if I quit…well. I feel like basketball has always been a part that defined me-even my friends are like: why aren’t you playing? I thought you were really good?
I don’t know if I’m good anymore. I think I have the potential to be good, but I am so unconfident in my abilities and I have no desire whatsoever to try to boost them again. I have done so way too many times, and I am ready to give up altogether.
If it were up to me, I would focus all my time on the other sport I play-tennis which I think is so fun and relaxing, and then maybe join a fun sport like dance or karate or something next winter instead.
Thoughts?

okay, it has been months since i’ve grown and i’m starting to worry that i might not grow anymore in the future!!! i don’t want to become a midget or something, so i need help!!!!! i’m only 13 years old and i’m about 4’10′ in height. i learn that our height is base on our genetics or DNA that we got from our parents. my dad, is 5’5′ and and my mom is 5’0′. do you guys think that there is a chance for me to grow taller as i go through high school in the future??? i don’t know what to do. i heard that getting enough sleep and eating healthy with plenty of exercises can help me grow, but i’m still not sure, so give me your advices! thanks!

i’m 15 and i’m only 148 cm. I stopped growing at the age of 13.
these are the heights of family –
mum – 170 cm
dad – 185 cm
sister (21 years) – 160 cm
sister (20 years) – 150cm
brother (18 years) – 195cm

could i still grow to the height of my parents?
and is there anything i can do to grow taller naturally

I’m currently 16, 180 pounds and 5’7. I know this may sound a bit strange, but I really want to grow up to at least 6’2. I mean is it still possible? I’m already taller than both of my parents, but I want to see if i can still grow taller since I’m only 16. I’m about to be 17 but I seem to be the same.
Yes I’m a guy.

How tall do you think if… I am 13 and 4 mounths old, i am 5’9" (haha i measured it right), and my parents are both 5’11". My Mom’s Dad is 6’6" also, and i have his head shape, and his bone structure and his personality. But i have my Dad’s muscles and his athletic body. How tall do you think i will get up to, and do you think i will be tall? (also i havent had any major growth-spurts, just growing 1/100 of a centimeter every day, hahaha)

Oh also, My Dad’s Dad is 5’10" and My Dad’s Mom is 5’4", My Mom’s Mom is 5’2", and My Mom’s Dad is 6’6". I have a naturally athletic body, but my Mom had asthma, so i have severe asthma. My Dad was in college football also.
obviously how tall i am has a number. and obviously you didn’t come here to answer my question, barcode.
look all i want is an educated guess, cause i know its not gonna be right on the spot, but i want to know how do you think i will be,

I want to grow taller and i don’t know how my parents are not tall and not short either. I’m 13, weighs 102 pounds and is 5’1. i feel like i’ve been at that height since forever. Did i stop growing? Plus, i think i’ve grown fatter instead of taller
1. What can i eat to help me grow taller?
2. What kind of exercise should i do?
A lot of ways to grow taller would help a lot. Thanks

I’m going to a public middle school next year, I’ll be in eighth grade. it’s been four years since I’ve been in a real school, since I home school, and even then it was just a very small private christian school. I don’t get out much, I have no idea what people my age even act like or do on a daily basis besides school, and am absolutely terrified of people. It’s hard for me to just walk around in a public place with other people, and when I see somebody walking towards me, I just freeze up and try to keep my eyes focused on the ground. I do have friends, but they all live far away from me. As you would expect, I have extremely low self confidence. I’m not exactly an attractive person, I have a really round chubby kind of head shape. my hair is naturally dark golden with lighter and darker highlights and mildly curly, but I straighten it because it doesn’t look good with my face shape. My eyes are one of my worst features. They’re a really deep brown, but turn red if I’m in direct sunlight, as I’ve been told my friends. But they look really fake with my hair. I’ve had some people ask me if I was wearing contacts before. I just cant get over how fake and wrong they look. My parents won’t let me get contacts, even though I’ve told them how embarrassed I am about my eyes. I have very pale skin, and freckles, but they’re barely visible. I’m a little chubby, 5’1 and around 145-150 lbs, but I actually look like I have a healthy weight because the weight is really well porportioned. I’ve tried to lose the fat but it just wont come off, I used to walk 2 miles everyday and don’t eat too much, but I didn’t lose any weight at all. I have really broad shoulders and a small head, it looks like my body is too big for my head, and I don’t think I’m going to "grow into it" or anything because it’s been like this ever since I was about nine years old. My only good features is that I have an hourglass body shape (I’m big boned though so it’s not one of the those tall slim kind of shapes), I have big boobs for my age, and my hair color. I know I’m not the ugliest person in the world, but I know and am trying to except that my looks are below average, and I also understand that it’s hard to be ugly and I’m going to get teased about it. I know looks aren’t evrything, but nobody likes to be called ugly. I think I have a nice personality, my friends tell me that I’m a good person, I’m very shy though and can sometimes lack compassion and have a hard time understanding what to do in most situations. However, my parents are constantly telling me that I am a horrible self centered b**ch who doesnt care about anyboy and is always using people. I try to ignore them when they say this, but it’s really starting to affect me and lower my already low confidence. And I hate Justin Beiber, Lady Gaga, Twilight, ect. In fact, I’m actually a big fan of anime, and I am completley aware that most anime fans are really looked down on. And I’m not one of those irrashonal fans whoes whole world revolves around anime (though mine partially does, since I don’t do much and rarely get to see other people) and thinks that everybody an evreything in Japan is just like it is in anime and manga. So how do I survive school? Like I said, I have a very hard time undesrtanding what to do in common situations, and am really scared of people. I know because of my looks I’m never going to get a boyfriend and am going to get teased, so how do I survive the teasing, mean girls, ect? And another really big question, how much homework is there? I don’t think I’ll live through school if I have 5 hours of home work lol.
