I was a late bloomer!. No pubes until 16!. At 18, I was 5'4" tall!. The next year, I grew 7" and am now taller than the rest of my family!.
If the doctors aren't doing anything to jump-start your growth, they must feel that you are on schedule for YOUR development cycle!. Try to be patient!.
It will all work out in the end and being a late starter does have it's benefits!. As you get older, you will have a more youthful appearance than others your age - I promise that will be a good thing!. It worked out for me and I have no doubt it'll work out for you!. I know it's frustrating, but try to be patient!.Www@Answer-Health@Com

You still have time to grow you won't stop until you like 21, but also keep in mind that height is controlled by multiple genes from your father and multiple traits from your mother!. This makes height impossible to predict!. There is nothing wrong with you!. You're alright!.Www@Answer-Health@Com
