Why do people catch up to you if you are tall?!


Question:

Why do people catch up to you if you are tall?

If your already tall, then why do certain people catch up to your height? well im 13 and 5'6 and a half, i dont get it would i still grow? or.....


Answers:

I stopped growing when I was fifteen. I was taller than most boys I knew at 13, but by 15, I was a shorty and they were all pushing six feet. . .

Puberty hits us all at different times. Girls often grow before guys, but that's just a general guideline, because everyone is different. Certain people will "catch up" to your height, because their hormones will eventually trigger a growth spurt. Your hormones might have triggered first, but if their genes dictate that your friend is going to be 6' and your genes say you'll be 5'8" well then they are going to get taller than you.

If you're thirteen, you're probably still going to grow some more. Check your family history; if you have lots of really tall relatives, then you've probably got more growing to do!
