Answers:

Scott, it is wrong to worry about things that are harmless and cannot be changed --- if you think that it is a disadvantage to be 5' 7" tall, you will simply be giving yourself a further disadvantage by worrying about it. In any case, you are not particularly short. Furthermore, you might grow taller --- it is next to impossible to predict how much taller a 17 year old boy will grow. It is very common for a boy to grow from 5' 5" to 6' 3" between 15 and 20 years of age --- I have seen this happen, many times. Nobody can go close to giving an accurate assessment of your growth potential unless they had a lot more information about you, such as you height at earlier ages and the height of your parents and siblings.

Many of the most successful people in the world have been shorter than you are now. Dozens of very rich and happy singers and actors have been short. Furthermore, if you look younger in general, than you are, girls will find you more attractive. Personally, I do not think of people who are your height, as being short.



Men usually grow and mature untill age 19-21 (when puberty is over).. You should grow a bit more, try taking a multi-vitamin to ensure that you have all the building blocks for growth and health.



Do you go to the doctor for yearly check-ups and what not? They take your height and make a chart to see your growth progress, they should be able to tell you if you can grow more.
