My doctor said I'm done growing and i'm really sad now?


Question:
I'm 16 and a half and i'm done growing and i'm really really sad now. I'm only 5'2 and i'm not gonna grow no more. She checked my private parts and my back. should i believe the doctor?

Answers:
You can always get a second opinion.
And it depends what kind of doctor you went to that gave you that information.
My son is 15 and a half and he's only 5'. Our regular family doctor thought he was done growing too, but we went to see an Endocrinologist and they did a bone scan (just an x-ray) and it showed he's still behind about a year.

But I'm sure if you talked to other grown men they will tell you this is true:
Some boys will still grow while they're in college.
My ex husband did that.
So hold on to hope, that you will still grow.
And ask your Dad, when did he do most of his growing?

If worse comes to worse, being 5'2" isn't that bad. I know YOU hate it. But there are women that are small and petite that are only around 5', so it's not the end of the world ;)
yea
but than no you could just grow a few more inches how you do!
best wishes
Sixteen seems young for a boy to stop growing but I am not a doctor.
Men grow in height well into their 20’s. I have yet to see a guy stop growing at the age of 16. However, are both of your parents 5’2”? If so, you might be stuck with some genetics that just mean you are going to be smaller than the norm. See another doctor for a second option, or just wait and see.

While you are at it, learn what a double negative is.
No doctor can tell you this by just looking at you. They are just taking an educated guess. Most guys don't stop growing until the age is 18 and some even as long as 21 years old like in my husbands case.

You could possibly shoot up some more at the last minute. Stop worrying and be who you are suppose to be. If you come from a family of short people then you may just be smaller, but you really don't know.
ohh..Sad news..Well look on the bright side..Maybe you can ask your doctor if there are any medicines that will make you bigger or ask if there is still a chance...Don't believe on doctors..People makes mistakes..Doctors are people to right??I hope my answer helps
I grew 3 inches when I was 18
Just to cheer you up! Research and studies shows that men's peak growth age is at 21. That if you have no genetic problems. You still have chances bro.
DOCTORS DON'T KNOW EVERYTHING! I know several people that have had growth spurts in their 20's!! I GREW 3 INCHES in my 20's! Keep your head up man. REMEMBER ALL THINGS ARE POSSIBLE WITH GOD.
Most guys I grew up with reached their full height at around 16, don't know where these people get the idea guys grow into their 20s! I did know a few guys who got their growth spurts late, and grew almost a foot at 18, but then they were late getting puberty.
