Height problems.?
ok.i dunno if u read my other questions but im 15 years old and im really short..like 5"2 short. and despite the fact that ppl say girls stop growing at the age of 15, my doctor says that i still have a chance. i dunno if he was telling the truth or not but doctors dont have a reason to lie rite? anyways, im sure my shortness is not gene related so all my siblings(and i mean even the younger one) are getting pretty tall. in my previous question people said that sleep does not affect how tall u get...so wat does?
Answers:
Your ultimate height is predetermined by your genetics but can be affected through poor nutrition. Your pituitary gland basically produces the natural growth hormone in your body. At a certain height it will simply no longer produce the same levels of growth hormone to stimulate growth and at that point you've reached your predetermined natural height. There's really nothing you can do much to make yourself taller just things you can prevent to make yourself growth shorter like making sure your getting the proper nutrition.
Im also 15 and turning 16 this nov. and im ONLY 5'1.
i wish people will answer your question because i need help too.
Doctor told me I hold Lupus today?
you still have a chance, but you should be thankful. I'm 18 and I'm only 5"1 barely that, but shortness goes in my family, so there's nothing I can do. I think everyone has a chance until they get the age of an adult then there done.
It is all genetics. My daughter grew 1 and 1/2 inch from age 17 1/2 to age 18, so it does happen. I have a friend who is 5', so you could be shorter! I am the shortest in my family also and the oldest. Just quit worrying about it as you have no control over your height. Think positively about some of your other great features. Google famous short people. Feel good about yourself:)
you will grow dont worry. you perhaps got a good 10 years of growing left in you. so dont fret yet. But i think its best you dont let your height stop you from feeling good or confident about yourself. You might think tall people have more respect, but if you can do your own thing without what people think, anything is possible.

I'm 16 and about 5'9, I have been growing about 2 inches for the last few years on average. Now i am slowing down
My dad is only 5'7 and my mom is only 5'4.
To work out your final height double your height from aged 2. yrs 2months.
Another estimate, is to take the the average of botth your mother and your fathers. Some people have excessive genes and some have the opposite.So you could be up to 3 inches taller or shorter than that mark.
Dont lift weights that wil stunt your growth as is effects he epidermis ( or something lyk that) in your lower back that controls your growth. Try get a lot of sleep too.
How far into puberty are you, that can help determine your time left to grow
Breasts
do you shave, if so how often
how many growth spurts have you had
Period, for how long etc
Just because your siblings are tall doesnt necerssarily mean you will be.
My grandad is 6'3, his brother 6'4 and his sister 6'2. My mom ( his daughter) was only 5'4, whereas her siser was 5'9!
Hope that helps, try find records of your height as a baby. So once you have found out what your meant to be, you will probably reach most of it by 16/17. and may a grow an inch or two passed that age. Milk only helps wen your pre adolescent and protien is for muscle
best way to reach ur maximmum hieght is sleep, but remember u cannot outgrow your genes. So just sleeping a lot isnt going to make you 6 ft 6 when your parents are both below 5 ft. But lack of sleep stops you reaching what you should reach.
If you are a gurl 5'2 isnt that short. The male equivilent is 5'8. As the average height difference between men and women are 6 inches. Personally, I think 5'2 is the perfect height for gurls, about 7 inches less than me, so cute. And Im not just saying that to suck up for best answer or wateva I dont care about that stuff. But yes, 5'2 is a greatt really hot height for a girl
