I believe I have a growth disorder?...!

Question: I believe I have a growth disorder!?!.!.!.

I am a 18 year old male, 115 pounds and 5'5!. My mom is 5'5 and my dad is 6'1!. According to the boys growth chart which can be found here: http://www!.waytogrowonline!.org/Common/Pa!.!.!.

I fall under the 5th percentile!. I haven't gained weight/grown for at least two years!. When I compare my new drivers license to my old one the new one actually makes me look younger!. I haven't grown out of any clothing!. I can still wear the shirts/pants I wore in 8th grade if i wanted to!.

I starting to believe I have a problem with my growth!.

Should I go to the doctor and see if there is something wrong with me!? Can anyone relate to this!? I can't stand looking so young!. You are treated as a child!.

Thanks for your time!.Www@Answer-Health@Com

You could just be short!. I know tons of adults who are around the same size!. If you grew a beard or 'stache, you would probably look older!. Go to the gym and work out --- you'll gain weight that way!. Of course, the results aren't instant, but it'll be worth it in the end!.Www@Answer-Health@Com

If you're concerned, you can ask your doctor about it!. Some people are just shorter though, so it might just be that!. Also, have you been eating enough (and eating well) and exercising enough!? You will also look younger if you have a baby face, which has nothing to do with growth disorders!. Don't worry about it too much, but ask the doctor at your next check up for some peace of mind!.

i know what ur feeling, in 5th grade i was the same height as i am now (5,3) and every one called me a freak!. but i havent grown taller or gained weight since then, so now every one is calling me short, cuz wen i stopped growing thats wen every one else started!. so you might just be a late grower, since your dad is 6,1!. my dad went to high school with this guy who was 5,6 in senior class, and then wen he met up with him wen he was 24 he was 5,11!. maybe thats just your caseWww@Answer-Health@Com

Don't worry about it when I was your age I was 5'11" 110lbs But then about twenty one I grew some I'm 6' 175 now and happy for it!. Look around at all the fat people in the world!. I can eat what I want and not gain or eat like a bird and not loose any weight!. its great!. Don't worry your just a late blumer like me your will grow trust me!.Www@Answer-Health@Com
