Health - 26 July 2006

This has probably been asked many times already, but I'm really wondering whether I've hit my height peak. I know height is usually related to genetics and depends on my parents, but I don't think I can use that here. I'm taller than both of my parents already, I'm 5'7''. Is that alright for a 14 yr old? (turning 15 in about 2-3 months) My dad is about 5'4'' my mom around 5'0''. Yea, I have short parents

The thing is, some of my brothers and sisters are pretty tall. My brother is 5'11'' (maybe even 6 already), my little brother 5'5'' and getting much taller and he's only 12. I'm wondering about me though. I think 5'7'' is short and most of my friends are all taller than me. I want to be at the least 5'9'' maybe 5'10''

Will I still get taller? I know I'm still growing at fourteen but is there a certain time when you stop getting taller? I haven't grown much since last year (I was what, 5'6''?). So I only grew an inch. Not much, and a slow rate. What can I do to help with my growth?

Same Q, different category thing...
At the beginning of 7th grade I weighed 76 lbs. At the end (I don't remember the beginning) of 8th grade I weighed 90 lbs. Beginning of 9th: 94 lbs. And at the beginning of 10th 105...that's literally like 10 lbs every year! Now, going into junior year--middle of summer vacation right now--I weigh 111. What do you think? I'll be 115 by school's beginning? This is weird! I already weigh more than my sister who's two years older than me. Is this normal and will I eventually balance out, like when I hit "adulthood" or whatever, and sit at a certain weight? Thanks if anyone knows anything about this, I appreciate the answers!

Hey all,

I'm looking for ways in which to shape up my arms and legs/thighs. I have a pretty athletic build but I'd love for them to be more sculpted. Any sites that show you how to make them look good? Thanks!

The obvious thing is to tell the doc, but how do I do it? I am worried that he may think I am weird for worrying about the little things so much. I worry so much that I can't eat, sleep, relax, and sometimes I even shake and cry. Also, if anyone can offer any tips to help me not worry so much, I'd like that. Thanks for your help.

I wanted to get Lasek for my eyes. I can't because me eyes keep changing and getting worse. My perscription is getting stronger and stronger. I heard there were some exercises for you eyes to strenghten them so you wouldn't have to wear contacts anymore. Is this true? Where can I find this alternative medicine for my eyes? If there are any books what are the titles?

I have a life-threatening allergy to yellow-jacket stings and, despite months of treatment, am not responding to immunotherapy. I am getting desperate, and am considering moving to a place where the insects are less prevalent. Does anyone know of such a place?

He claims no one has ever been able to make him do that. I haven't had a man who was multi orgasmic since I was an inexperienced adolescent. It's exciting and makes me hotter than heck but I am just curious as to how normal this is.

I suffer from severe panic and anxiety attacks. Thus I'm phobic of exercise that makes my heart pound. How can I combat this? I need to lose weight. I'm currently on Zoloft and Remeron for the panic but attacks still break through if my heart pounds or races during exercise.
Also, how can I cope with the shortness of breath feeling of panic attacks? Breathing techniques don't work and I'm tired of yawning constantly.
