Haven't grown in about 1 1/2 years. This a problem?!


Question:

Haven't grown in about 1 1/2 years. This a problem?

I'm 14, turning 15 in October. I'm 5 foot 7, but i haven't grown much since end of 6th grade. I play basketball, and have a 34 inch vertical, but it's hard for me to compete against alot of the top competition who are close if not already 6 feet tall. Just wondering, have I hit my maximum height, or am I just in a slow phase? By the way, my dad's 5 foot 6, and my mom's 5 foot 3, so could genetics be it?


Answers:

Since your parents are not very tall, I would not expect much more growth for you. I am 5' 7" as well, and able to cope just fine in life, although playing basketball was not my game. I was much better at baseball. Now if you have grandparents on either side that are taller, you might still grow some, but doubtful. Sorry for the negative feedback, but you must learn to deal with it.
