Why am i not growing tall, what is wrong with me?!


Question: Why am i not growing tall, what is wrong with me?
Im 18 and going to be 19 in a few months and i weigh 123 pounds and im 5ft5. I eat 1000-1500 calories a day and drink enough water and i sleep for 7-9 hours a day. I also don't normally go out as i have taken a year off from college and i don't have a job, so basically i spend my life at home these days in front of computer all day.

The foods that i eat are breads, fish, fries, curry, rice, kebabs, chicken, some fruits, goat milk, 4-5 glasses of water per day.

I have been like this for 3 years, i think i have not grown tall or gained weight in the last 3 years and im really worried. Please help

You are done growing now, and what you eat has nothing to do with how tall you will be.



At your age you have probably reached your full height. However your body will still develop until you are around the age of 21. That is to say you will "fill out" and broaden.
My concern is that you don't eat enough nor do you get enough exercise so you body has responded to your environment.
Try to eat 2000 - 2500 calories per day and exercise 30 minutes per day. Get lots of protein for growth and repair and get some fresh air.



Have you considered that you just aren't meant to be any taller then you are?
Vertical growth is determined by your genes, so... no matter how tall you'd like to be, you're only going to be as tall as your genes are programed for.
There is an outside chance you may grow a bit more, but you are 19 and at or near the tail end of puberty, so you should just get used to how you are and learn to accept it.

Oh btw... GET A JOB! (LoL)

Everyone is different size and shapes. You may still grow a little but what you have is what you got, be proud of it, there are people smaller than you in more ways than height..



tests show that it is due to the fact that you higher estregen levels in your body than testosterone
which ultimately means you could have homosexual inclinations.
