Genetics. Pretty amazing thing. your great great grandfather could've been short but that gene could've skipped a couple of generations. its either that or the custom gene in your body which isn't your fathers or mothers.

Dont let your size stop you living your life though!



It could be someone further up into your family who has a gene for being short, like your grandparents or your great grandparents. Also, it could be your environment, if you don't have a healthy diet with enough nutrients to help you grow, you may not reach your potential height ever. If you're really that concerned with it, you could go to a genetic counselor who could do research to find exactly why you are short. But don't let being short ruin your life! Being short is great.. although sometimes it's a bit upsetting! But I've heard being tall isn't all it's cracked up to be either!



I did a study on height... I'll keep it simple.

Your maximum height is set by your genes- so if your mother is short you might have her genes even if your sisters have your dad's genes.

You need to eat healthy food, keep active and make sure you get enough sleep each night because if you don't then you might not reach your maximum height.

Nothing else should affect your height so don't waste time and money on scams. You could see a doctor to see if they would arrange growth hormones for you.

I know it feels like a really bad thing, but it doesn't stop you from being everything you want to be. If you're stressed about it I have loads of advice and tips on how to deal with issues like looking your age, stupid comments from people, relationships and even how to look taller. You can mail me through my profile if you like.

its complicated it has to do with genes. Your sisters could have gotten more of your dads height genes and you could have gotten more of your moms height genes making you short like your mom and your sisters average height like your dad



Maybe genes? from your parents? if one of your parents are short you might be short too.
And dont be scared, I was one of the shortest in 5th grade but now, I'm taller than most people :D

awesomeness
