Question

I'm 15 and I think I'm almost 5'3". My mom is 5'6" and my dad is almost 5'6". My grandma was 5' when she graduated from high school and my grandpa was 5'6". My other grandma must be like an inch shorter than me and idk about my grandpa.When I went to the doctor on July 6th I was 5'2.3" and I was 14.8 or whatever lol. My doctor said I was going to be like 5'3.5"ish but it seems like I've been growing a lot lately so idk. So anyway I would just appreciate any of your opinions about how tall I might be when I'm 18. lol lately I've just been interested in my height and stuff. Thanks.

Answer 1

If you are hoping to grow try the easy, inexpensive natural treatment I recommend here. In fact, I just read this yesterday. Before then, I did not know there was anything that helped growth.

See my answer here (long one towards the end).

Also milk is not good as the high protein causes one to excrete calcium which is needed for growth (It is actually correlated with causing rather than preventing osteoporosis). This treatment works positively on calcium levels and how it is processed.

Even if it doesn't help, it has multiple health benefits, especially if taken with raw honey.
Good luck!

Lots of girls and guys worry about when their bodies will develop. Guys wonder when their voices will get deeper, when they'll need to shave, or when their penises will grow. Girls want to know when their breasts will develop or when they'll get their first period. If a friend or a younger brother or sister develops first, they may worry that there's something wrong with them.

The fact is that physical development starts at different times and progresses at different rates in different people. So, the beginning of the development that comes with puberty varies from person to person - and that's completely normal.

The earliest physical change of puberty for girls is usually breast development, which most often begins around 10 or 11 years. But it can start as early as 8 or as late as 13 and still be in the normal range. The first menstrual period usually occurs about 2 years after breast development begins. Boys begin their development on average around age 11 or 12, but it can begin as early as 9 and as late as 15. Girls and guys who start developing earlier or later than these ranges can still be normal, but they should be checked by their doctor just to be sure.

For both boys and girls, it usually takes several years after the first changes of puberty begin before they're all complete - and there's a lot of variation from person to person. So, two normally developing guys or girls who are the same age can appear quite different from each other. One can look older and more physically mature than the other. But the one who started later will catch up in time.

Doctors and nurses used to say that whatever height you were at 2 years old, double it and that will be your height when you're an adult. Also, your body is not fully grown until you're 27.
