My height

[MisterObvious]

I am 5.2 and i am 14 year old boy.My mum is 5.3 and my dad 5.6.My brother is 5.7 and has been like this since 14 years old.I have been to the doctor and he told me that i have an adult body type and genitals so i guess no more height growing? I am too young to end puberty so early.Also,he told me i will not have a growth spurt because it maybe already happened and was not very big.I am very worried because i am growing very slow and I believe i will not even reach my dad

I kept growing till i was 19. Ended up 6 6, dont sweat it. Eat well, dont sweat the height pressure. I remember getting slagged for being lanky but i bulked up in my early twenties. I can only imagine you might get slagged but feck everyone!

I was the same. All my mates had growth spurts and I ended up the shortest in my group; but by the age of 19 I had caught up and ended up taller than most of my mates.

I'm also taller than either of my parents too.

Eat well and don't worry. You can't rush it and at 14 you have plenty more time to grow. Many people don't stop growing and developing until they're 21!

Yeah but I did x-ray and he told me i will keep growing but slower so is it possible to even reach my dad?also I have grown 0.3 centimiters in the past two months is is okay?

If you have medical questions I'm sorry the only one that can help is your doctor; but it's really common these days to be taller than your parents. 😉

I don’t understand why you are so worried your still young I was about your height as school probably one of the smallest in my year when I left I’m 24 now and around 5.5/5.6 and my dad is the same height and my mums around 5.2/3 give it time.

Shorter men often end up with all the chips.

Do not worry about things you cannot change. You are still young and have more growing to do. You can be the best person you can by being You.

Our parents are the same height. When I was your age I was maybe a bit smaller, also a stocky build. My brother was 5’9”. Around my 16th birthday I was having leg pains all he time. By the end of the school year I grew to 5’9”. By 22 I was my current height of 6 foot but very slim.

Thats great,but I suppose you hadnt entered puberty at age 11-12 as me? Maybe you entered at 14

[Moopmoop in reply to MisterObvious]

Nope. I got my very first pubic hair and facial spots at 10.

[MisterObvious in reply to Moopmoop]

Well man I recently did the x ray and he said expect slower growth rate in the next 4 years so I dont know

[MisterObvious]

Oh wow..that's strange
