Ma lil' brother 4 years younger is taller than me already. Ma mum,dad, and sister r all tall. It's like i'm the only dwarf in the family. Pls help. I'm overweight @ about 220 pounds. Is that the cause?? Lastly, can lifting heavy stuff reduce your growth?. Thanks.

well i don't know about overwieght, but i have an over wieght friend who's 6'3" and i'm 6'2" and i have lifted heavy things all my life.. like 90 lbs + to 150 lbs+ so i don't think that's the case. However i think that your hieght is not important, but your way of thinking. If you see your hieght as a problem you are thinking negatively, because you should know your height is what it is, and doesn't need to be changed. you are who you are. and and doesn't matter in life. how tall you are, just your personality is key.

If you are 220 lbs. and only 5'6", you have MUCH bigger problems than being short. (And NO you cannot make yourself taller.)
You are obese. And that is a shame at your age. Kids have no reason to be obese....NONE. So get your fat **** out from behind the computer and get outside and MOVE. And stop eating garbage.

Yes being overweight can retard your growth.
Take swiming lessons (great to help you grow) plus it's one of the best exrcises out there in order to keep you in shape.
Any sport can help.
Hope I helped you a lil.
I'm taking you must be a teen so...go crazy w/ the sports I wish I had more time....
