Question

ok, i am very self concious about my height, i am 14 years old, male and about 5'2 115 lbs., my mom is 5'2 1/2, my dad is like 6'-61/2 ft. my 17 yeard old brother is 6'2. the doctor says i will be 5'11 but im not sure, i ahvent hit my spurt yet, any one have a prediction about what my hieght will be and any suggestions?
what about those growth horomones?

Answer 1

When my son was your age he was around that height. We thought he would peak around the 5'8 5'9 mark, tops. My husband is 6 ft or so and I am 5'4 . To our surprise is now over 6'. When I took him to the Dr's. we were surprised to hear that he was going to be the tall one in the family. The Dr. stated that he had not reached puberty yet ( had no hair at all) and that when he does, that is when the growth spurt will start. He was right. With that being said... don't sweat it Height like age is only a number. Enjoy being just you.
BTW, if I had to guess I think you'll probably be 6'1.
p.s. stay away from the growth hormones .....hence the word growth, you'll probably grow a third arm...or worse, breasts.

Answer 2

Doctors predicitions are usually pretty accurate. You are only 14 you have not hit your growth spurt yet. I know many grown men who were 17 before they started growing. They had been very scrawny and ended up being the kind of guy you wouldn't want to get in a fight with. Regarding growth hormones, don't mess with them just let nature take it's course.

Answer 3

Well, you might find this helpful. When I graduated from eighth grade, I was the second-tallest person in my class. I was all of 5'8" tall. One boy, a football-player type, was taller than me.

This doesn't mean I went to school with unusually short people. It means that males don't start to get taller until they're in their mid to late teens.

Also, you might read that boys stop growing at 21. This may not be exactly true. I read that girls stopped growing at 18, but between the age of 18 and my early twenties, I added one and three-quarters of an inch to my height.

Be patient! Eat well, get a lot of rest and exercise, and enjoy your teenage years.

Answer 4

My son was in the same situation and grew to 5 8 at 15 and stayed there

Answer 5

No, do not use growth hormones. You are not done growing yet. My stepson will be 14 next month and he is 4'9. He is as tall as the rest of the boys in his eigth grade class. Don't worry about it. I even grew 2 inches after I graduated high school.

Answer 7

ok, take it from someone who knows. YOU WILL GROW. in ninth grade, i grew like 8 in. i went from being the shortest to finally normal. my boyfriend is 15 and he's only a little taller than you. don't be self-concious about your height; think of it this way. it's better to be on the short side than to be a beanpole.

Answer 8

your dr already gave you an idea and the height he stated is a good height.
stay away from hormones unless you don't want to be able to perform or have children or ruin your organs, etc. they all are bad. yes, people use them, it doesn't make it right or ok.
eat healthy and make healthy drinks in the blender. there are plenty online you can find.

Answer 9

Trust by the time your 18 you will be 6'2 or taller. My brother was 5'3 until he was 17 then he now is 6'1. So it will happen trust me.

Answer 10

Im in 10th grade and trust me: as freshman, the boys came in as small and looked like babies. After the summer, they all grew a ton and look like men lol. Wait your turn
