Will I get any taller?

Question

I'm 13 1/2 yrs old and i've only grown 1 inch in three yrs. I weigh 86 lbs and i think i eat pretty healthy. I'm also asian if that matters. I was also adopted so i don't know how tall my mom or dad was.

Answer 1

yes you will

Answer 2

Everyone gets their growth spurts at different times, and your growth plates usually close around age 20, so you shouldn't worry. Both my father and I had our growth spurts at age 16, while some people, like my sisters, had theirs in their early childhood. Perhaps your being Asian could have something to do with it, as Asians are sometimes smaller than the average American, but I'm not educated much on that so I won't talk about what I don't know.

Answer 3

Probably not. Most girls stop growing by age 14. If you started your period around age 10 or 11 then you've probably already stopped growing, if you haven't yet started your period then you just might grow until you're 16. Ask your mother if she remembers how tall you were when you were 2. Times that by 2.5 and that will be your expected adult height. If that's how tall you are now, all you got to worry about is horizontal growth.

Answer 4

it is very possible well likely you will grow taller yes.
children grow in spurts. this is known from research that lasted a over 25 years. children really do go to bed one day and the next day they are taller. this is not a joke messurments of children were taken every day and this is the way kids grow.
it has been some time since you had one of the growth spruts so relax and dont invest too much in pants because one day soon you will find them too short.

Answer 5

Well, you are Asian.
Every now and then, you'll get a huge Asian [Yao Ming ie], but I would say you might grow a little more.
Asians don't have a reputation for being very tall.

Also, I would love to lend you some of my bloody height.
