***Am I too short??***?!


Question: ***Am I too short??***?
I'm a 13 year old man, and I am 5 feet 4 inches tall. Most of my friends are taller than me and I feel a little short. I'm white and my dad is around like 5 feet 8 inches and my mom is around 5 feet 3 inches. My older brother is 5 feet 7 inches, and I'm not sure I will grow taller. I always was a little bigger than my brother was when he was my age, but I want to be tall. My doctor said I'm supposed to be 5 feet and 7 inches, but it could be one or two more inches than that. Is that really short? Is there any chance I could be taller.

You are NOT short, in general. Some 13 year olds' are barely past 5 ft.

You'll grow don't worry about it, I used to have the same problem, thinking I was gonna turn out short.



Good grief, Charlie Brown! You're only thirteen years old!!!!!
You will not finish puberty until at least age 21 - or later.
More growth could be headed your way - but nobody knows for sure.
Genetics rule - you cannot rush nor re-program genetics.
You cannot MAKE yourself grow taller.
You just have to be patient & wait to see what all develops.
Don't worry about stuff you have no control over.

Sometimes genetics will prevent those type of things bud. you are only 13, when I was 13 I was 5'2 now I'm 17 and I'm 6'0. But my dad is also 6'3 and I have a history of tall men in my family.
