I'm 13 and 5'3". My best friend Jeff is 14 and he's already 5'11". Two years ago we were about the same size and then he started to grow fast and I hardly grew at all. He's alot bigger than me and I want to know when I will grow. He enjoys teasing me calling me names like 'shorty' and 'shrimpo'. Can anyone tell me when i might grow or give me some advice?

Everyone grows at a different rate. I wouldn't worry about it. You've still got plenty of years to grow. Hey, one day you might just be 6'! Just be patient. I'm only 5'1 and I'm perfectly content with it.

What grade are you in, 8th? My son was the same way, the girls were always taller than he, then, when he started high school, he started to grow, and grow he did each year until he entered college. He is 6'1" now, played college football, and remembers those younger years with great pain. It isn't easy not growing as fast as your buddies, but you will eventually get there. Just eat right, get the right amount of sleep, participate in sports of some type, and you will surprise yourself by someday waking up and finding your Levi's are floods!

Not all people grow to be 5'11 some stop growing at 5'3..ect. you'll be done growing by the age 18 or 19 for sure...everyone is made differently..(tell your friend I said so)..it all depends on your family genes..I bet you that your not done growing and your fine the way you are , short or tall.

Well... the best thing to do is to take a look at yoour parents and even grandparents, aunts and uncle... pick who you resemble the most and check out there height...I was short all through high school and then when I hit about 17yo and zoom... don't sweat to much... just keep your finger crossed and ignore the crap your friends deals on you... call him a big goon or sashquatch

you might be a late bloomer. if you didnt hit puberty yet, then you should be hitting it soon, 14-16 then once u do that, then your changes will take effect. be patient lil guy.,once you start getting facial hair, then u have to shave it everyday. you dont know how lucky u are right now. it only gets worse as you get older.

Males stop growing at 21; you have some years to go. Plus, adolescents do have growth spurts as they go through puberty, etc. Don't stress yourself over it; eat well and take care of yourself.
