Hey I am??!
Question: 15 right now and according to my doctor I will most likely be 5'7 or 5'8 when I am full grown, will I be that short. I mean am I in average range, no one will look me and think that guy is short. I mean you might realize I am under average, but not by much and not really think about it. Or if I go in to get a job they won't look at me funny and will I be ok for dating. Also are Americans getting taller or staying the same a lot of my friends say they think Americans are getting taller but, some one told me this is wrong and in fact it is a concern that Americans average height has not increased since 1977 and growth charts in 2000 still show this to be true.

A man is noticebly short at 5'4" and below.
Stand up straight! Good posture can add 2 inches.
Drink 3 glasses of any kind of milk every day.
Eat lots of protein. Meat, fish, chicken, turkey, pork, eggs, nuts.
Eat lots of veggies. Frozen, steamed, or raw. Drink V-8 juice.
Your height depends a lot on your parents' height AND their parents' height.
Bless you and be happy with whatever you are given. You will grow till you are 25. Really!! :)
