Running out of growing time??? Males continue to mature physically till they're 21...so you got plenty of "growing time". Be patient kid

Just get over it, that like asking why is the sky blue. Im 16 and I'm only 5'6''. I still got a gf, weve been dating for a year now. Only thing is I maybe short, but I'm also no push-over to. I'm pretty tough and people respect me, I do the same in return. Just dont let it get to your head, it's nothing you can change, so just accept it. Maybe some girl will havea thing for short men, Ive heard many though them adorable.

you've got plenty of time to grow. I'm as grown as I'm gonna' get. I think I quit growing when I was about 12 ! I got called a "teeny bopper" yesterday. How tall are your parents ? Odds are you will take after them.You're just getting started at 14, be patient. Look at Tom Cruise. He's doing just fine. .....if you portray confidence in yourself, everything will fall in place.

Yeah, genetics...
Though, it could be nutrition, too! My brother and I are taller than most of our cousins but I don't think it's just genes, they live in another country and their foods are all pumped full of vitamins (fortified, etc.) like the American foods.
Are you making sure you're eating right? Getting enough calcium, magnesium and potassium? How about enough Vitamin B?
Do you get enough sleep?
Check with a doctor, maybe you need a dose of Human Growth Hormone.

Boy don't stop growing up to the age of 25.
My brother grew 3 inches after he got married at the age of 19. His wife was actually taller than him but not anymore. don't worry so much...you can't do anything about it anyway. be grateful that you are healthy!

Hey I'm 14 and short too. The key is to let everybody know that it doesn't bother you that you are short. And about the girlfriend issue I'm sure there are girls that are your height

Maybe because you didn't eat your vegetables. But don't despair. You still have a few years to experience the "Growth burst" which most teenagers of your age will go through.
