I'm 18 and i'm 5"6..I was shorter than you at 15, so there are others, and similarly I can't stand being small, and is more difficult being male when there is pressure to have a larger and more imposing body, but by the end of development, your body will be visibly mature, whether you are of a great hulking height or not.

If it relates to you, really athletic people are sometimes prone to growing slower than the average kid, but they also continue to grow for a lot longer. By really athletic I mean like exercising once a day for like 2 hours.

Maybe take some vitamins if you're not getting enough from your what you eat, also eat your vegetible. There are people who grew up taller than their so heredity might not be that important.

Im 15 and about 5'8" and when I was 14 I was exactly where you are thinking that you won't grow, I thought I would never grow but in about 8 months ive grown 3 inches. So you have got a chance that you will start growing soon.

Ive played hockey for 10 years now and it has seemed like I have grown slower

I appreciate all the advise. I've been away from this site for quite awhile. However, I personally believe that i've stunted my growth somehow. Meh.

Are either of your p[arents about your height, or even your grandparents? Do you feel that you eat anought for your growing body?

I'm 16 and 6'-6'1'' (haven't measured myself in a while, but I have grown for sure).

My parents are 5'7'' and 5'8''.
I get my height from my mother's side. Her father was a rather tall fellow. Same height as I am currently.

So to me, it seems it's just genetics. Oh ya, I drank my milk. :o

Well if you stay short, who cares? Alot of guys are short, alot of girls are shorter than short guys. I can't say I relate to your problem, because i'm a girl, and i'm 6ft.



But hey, surfers and wakeboarders are usually short.. Stronger center of balance and what not, so take up wakeboarding or something... Chicks dig it :-p
