should i take (HGH) human growth hormones?


Question:
i am 14 years old and i am a guy. i am short, very short about 4"11. i have been to the physician twice(once every 3 months) already and i have almost no height gain, maybe 1/5 or 1/4 of an inch and the physician has prescribed me HGH and i am really considering taking it because i feel depressed because of my height recently but i don't know if i should take it, or not... please help

Answers:
Since you are ambivalent you should talk to:

1) Your parents

2) Your doctor

3) A counsellor who deals with this specific issue and who may have some insights to pass on from others who have experienced the same situation.

You live in a media-driven society which puts extremely unrealistic stresses on young people - the guys have to be 6'3" and brawny, and the girls 5'8" and 100 pounds, how ridiculous is that? But it does a lot of damage to young people's developing egos.

I am 17 and i have been taking HGH replacement ( somatropin by novordisk) for the last 3 years and i will still be taking it for the next 2 years or so. Go to an endocronologist so he can check your height and your sexual maturity so he can evaluate how you will benfit from this treatment. I grew 5 inches in 2 years and im still growing. Chances are you need treatment. Dont be depressed because u are still 14 and u have 7 years to grow. I still didnt reach puberty but i will once i take the testosterone treatment next year.Cheer up dude, i was depressed once because of my height too but i got over it and i realised i can still grow with the help of the HGH. Good luck and never worry at all. Just talk to a doctor and let him examin you and he will explain what to do.IM me so i can explain more.
