Im 5 foot 1inches, and 23 years old. Im assuming i wont be growing any more then this. My question is why? Genetics? Bad nutrition when i was young?
What is the reason for this bad curse i have? Keeps me from doing many things. I have no confidence, and I can't even talk to girls. :o(

Your genes blame the family you came from.

Could be for any reason. This one is hard to answer. I am the oldest of my three other brothers. I grew to a height of six feet one inch, the next eldest is five feet nine inches, followed by the third eldest who is five feet ten inches and the youngest is five feet eight inches. It could be nutrition, because I began taking vitamins in late grammar school until today.

alright heres what u do... or what u couldve done.
-eat spinach
-have large amounts of vitamin D
-have large amounts of calcium
-combine all of the above with spending time in the sun whenever possible; this causes growth
-and if possible try to work out
-dont eat so much meat, try eating lots of veggies
---i did this when i was younger and still follow this method, i am Fijian (Pacific Islander), so i know how to get tall. eat fish and stay in the sun. makes u taller. i also dont eat beef or pork. i made it to 6ft. genes dont matter much. my dad was like 5ft 7in and my mom was like 5ft 4in. by the way im 16. HOPE THIS HELPS (please give it a try...)

I guess its all in the genes. Like even if your nutrition or like your way of growing up was different. I don't think it'd make that much of a difference (no offense).... Unless you're a caffeine addict?

So what I can bet there are so midgets wishing they could be taller. Instead of looking at the negative found something positive.

at least you wont get back problems like really tall people who always have to slump down to talk to someone. and smaller people live longer than bigger people (like cats live longer than dogs) which is why women live longer than men i think.

Try Hormones. They could get you up there a couple of inches.
