Am I too short?? Am I done growing?

Question

I am a 16 year old female and am about 5'1. I don't know if i'm still growing. I hope I am and my mom says I am and will be about 5"3. Do you think that is correct? I am also going to be purchasing pills from heightboosting.com b/c they look like good pills and also offer a money back gaurentee so how could they not work?? Well do you think im done growing yet??

Answer 1

Most women are done growing by 18. There's nothing wrong with being petite. Im 23 and 5'2 and I love it. I can wear 4 inch heels and still not be taller than my boyfriend. To me thats great!

Answer 2

You will probably continue to grow. But if you don't then there is nothing wrong with being 5'1"--as it happens my mom is only 5' and it never held her back from anything in her life. She raised a family, had a great long career as a teacher, and at the age of 77 hits the treadmill every morning for a 45 minute walk, is very active in the church and the community, on the board of the hospital auxillary--I wish I could keep up with her. What matters is not how tall or short someone is but how long their reach is. She has reached into so many lives and made a positive difference for decades.

But in any case stay away from those pills. The guarantee doesn't mean that they will work. It just means that the seller realizes that most people don't bother to go to the trouble of returning products for a refund. It is the same rational used by companies that make you do a mail-in rebate rather than just giving you a discount, they know the majority will not even send it in.

I looked at their website and all they have in their product are a couple of amino acids. You don't have to spend $100 a month for that. You can buy a full amino acid liquid complex from many health food sites or stores for a fraction of that. But amino acids are for muscle building.

Here is a link to a place you can read more about Amino Acids and buy some if you want to. And a months supply of theirs is only $20.

If u r a girly girl, wear heels everywhere u go. If not, wear Nike shock shoes. 5'1" is short but half of the world is short. I stopped growing at 17. But maybe only about an inch. Your mom may be right. Some guys like shorties. I am 5'4" most of my friends are 5'7" or taller, so when we go out, I just put on my heels and I am IN THERE! I hope all your wishes about height come true. But the height boosting stuff does not working, a basketball team in Cambridge took it with no avail, just heart problems and allergic reactions, like hives and rashes. So, be careful. There r some beautiful confident women that r short. Eva Lingoria, Jada Pinkett, most of Hollywood's women r 5'4" or shorter. B Happy!!!

Answer 4

You can never be sure how tall you are going to get but one thing is for sure you do not stop growing all the way until you are about 25 years old so you have plenty of time. And don't take pills to try and make you grow they will not work. Your thyroid gland is what determines how much you grow so i highly doubt that some fly by night pill company can compete with mother nature. If you are really concerned with your height talk to your doctor he/she might be able to help. Short is OK to look at all the Chinese they seem to be OK with it.

Answer 5

don't be ashamed of your height. I'm 28 and I'm 5'2. also i would advise you not to take those pills. some height boosting pills force your body to have small growth spurts, which is not a good thing. it's like steroids, you may seem stronger, faster, and more athletic. but there is always an after effect to it. the pills cause the calcium in your body to be forced to make your bones longer, your muscles and your skin become stretched so they fit your new height, and a lot more unhealthy things happen to your body. other pills have side effects that either they won't release to the public on the box or bottle of the pill because they are so extreme, yet could be very common side effects to get from using it, or they have it labeled quite clearly and either the company is not liable for the side effects that happens to you or they just don't care.

Answer 6

I'm 5'8" and would LOVE to be your height. Atleast at your height you don't have to worry as much about guys being taller than you because they mostly will be, and you can wear heels without feeling like an overgrown monster! Love yourself for who you are and don't try to change it. No pill is going to help your height and it will just cause unneeded side effects.

Look at it this way, most drs wont let anyone under 18 get plastic surgery because they are still growing. Chances are you still have a few more inches to grow and even if you don't, your you and no one can take that away from you!

Answer 7

Don't take pills to grow. They are a scam.

Be the beautiful you that God made you.

All three of my sisters kept growing until they were about 23 years old. I kept growing until I was 27. We are all different.

Whatever height you end up, don't worry. I married a petite girl purposefully. Different men/woman find different types attractive. You will find someone that cares for you the way you are.

Keep smiling!

Answer 8

Probably not, you could continue growing for 4 or 5 years, but if you don't and you stay that height, just remember you never see a diamond the size of a brick

Answer 9

Your mom is probably right, you should grow a little more...but dont buy pills, its just a waist of money and it might not be healthy for you. There are lots of shorter people in the world. Be proud of it!

Answer 10

If you have stopped growing it's not a bad thing. I am 34 years old and I am only 5 foot tall. I like it!
