Most of my classmates are way ahead of me in height. Then again, my birthday is onnovember, so maybe im not that late. SO anyway, I wanted toknow whern Ill start to get taller.
I am about 1.55 metres, and I am 12 years old. All ofmy brothers are really tall, and I'm already as tall as my dad (Meh. He's short.). I wanted to know when I am gonna get taller.
Also, I read somewhere that with good sleep, you would grow.. is this true? I was wondering, because I havent slept well in the past month, and then, one week before school started I slept a lot earlier, and I notice I grew about 1-3 centimetres. I dont know if it was coincidence or if its true. ._.
So any info?

Forgot to add! My dad is short, my mom is tall :D
And even though, my brother was way ahead of them when he was just 15.
..And he WAS short at 12 years old, noe that I think about it. Could that also be because of genetics? ._.

If you are already the height of your father, you may not get much taller. However, 12 is young, and most people grow until they are 17 or 18. I grew 2.5 inches when I was 17. Good sleep is always good, and you should sleep in a dark room. It may not make you taller but it's definitely good for your health. Eat healthy and don't smoke.

I'm assuming you're a guy? Males keep growing until they are about 20. Your main growth spurt can happen anywhere between the ages of 13 to 17.
Make sure you eat a good balanced diet with plenty of protein and calcium, and get regular exercise. And yes, you should get at least 8 hours of sleep a night maybe more. Sleep is when your body repairs itself so it is essential for health and growth.

properly, you're some million/2-a-foot taller than well-known, that's rather tall. i'm uncertain what you recommend by using "too tall"? females love tall adult men, and in a woman's eyes, the taller the extra useful, so which you're on no account too tall to get the females. in spite of the shown fact that, being too tall might reason well being issues, yet i think of that as long as you're no longer over 7'0, you are going to be advantageous. in case you joined the NBA, you does not be everywhere on the fringe of being the tallest participant.

Of course sleeping early is good for u,
1-u start to get taller after 4 hours of your sleeping.
2- it seems that u get taller the best if u slept before 11 pm
because you get taller the most between 11 - 01 pm
And do some excercise like basketball

Don't worry. You just haven't hit your growth spurt yet. Wait a few more years and you will be as tall as your classmates. However, it also might be because of your genetics. Because genetics play such as big role in height, if your parents were short, then it's likely then that your height wouldn't be so tall.

Oh, I would say, at 12 years old, that you're getting taller everytime you come down the stairs!!!! and one day, you'll notice it.!!!!
