Okay, I'm around 5'3, yes I'm liek a total dwarf. I don't know why, but I'm insecure about my height. I jsut hate being this little!

Anyway, i'm about 5'3 and 16. I keep hearing that You only grow like 3 more inches after you have your period. Then I hear that you don't grow after 16...and then I also heard you keep growing till you're 18 or 21.

So...what? Am I still gonna grow or what? Or is it also hereditary? Because my mom is onyl and inch or so taller than me and my dad's a giant.

help please!

People are all different. Some of them stop growing at 16. Some keep on growing and growing and growing (something about hormones). Some grow tall, some stay short. 5'3 is not a dwarf height. How old are Hayden Panetierre and Hilary Duff and how tall are they? If you're 5'3 now, you're probably going to be like your mom. It's sort of unusual for a girl your age to grow significantly taller at this point in their life.

OMGG I HAVE THE SAME PROBLEM
AS YOU DO!
&& For you, your 5'3
I'm 5'2 .
Yeah, I want to be 5'5 or 5'4

Just stretch every morning.
And see where it gets you.

But I really think it's just genes.
But! My mom when she was my age.
She was 5'4 or 5'5 !!
&& My dad is tall too !
SO I SHOULD BE TALL.
But, they lived in Vietnam &&
they work & all that.
And me, well I'm lazy.
So maybe it's that too.

STRETCHH !

5'3 is still ok. you'll still grow. im 17 and im just 5'1 ><
but it depends, some people can grow while they 18 while some stop at like 15.

Try Yoga,stretching, kicking and try to hang your self using your both hands..and eat supplement vitamin such as Calcium. I'm 182cm.

[CtlunatC]

depends on genetics. my mom is 40 something and she's still growing.. not joking.

i think if you excercise more and stretch more you'll land acouple more cm's

[grazingbuffalo]

You can try hanging from a tree (or anything of the sort) upside down for an hour a day. Thats like the ultimate stretch you can do.

[Xingz]

arrg my parents are so tall too but im not T.T dunno what happened........

my friend said her mom grew taller after having her lol?

[Saebin :D]

i have a serious height problem too
last time the PE teacher measure my height,
it was around 147cm
then the next time it measured 146
then few weeks ago it measured 145, close to 146.
so wtf, i shrunk? o.o

i dont think i can or will grow anymore
cos my friend used to be shorter than me
but now she's taller than me (i think it's cos she just started her period..) =(

[posh_spice]

WOw...some good advice there..
thx guys

Will that actually work ?? because if too much blood rushs to your brian, you will die.
But maybe I'll try that one day. But not upside down, MONKEY BARS !

[WendiiV]

Well thank everyone. That made me feel better. =] I will do my stretching and all. I used to do yoga everyday...and then i got really lazy. I remember feeling alot longer.
