I hate being a late boomer. My friends keep growing, and I stay the same height!!


Question: I hate being a late boomer!. My friends keep growing, and I stay the same height! Tips!?
I'm 15, 5'1 93 pounds!.

I hang out with these 6 kids every summer, pretty much everday during it too!. After the summer, I barley don't see them until the next summer!.

Every year, I am nervous of seeing them because they grow a couple inches, and I just stay the same height!. But this time, all of them have hit their growth spurt, making them a lot of inches taller than me!.

I don't know what to do, it's going to be really awkward for me to see them this year!. This is going to be the most embarrasing summer of my life =(!. Any tips on what to do!?

Don't tell me that true friends won't care because I know that!. I'm just saying, this is going to suck!Www@Answer-Health@Com


Answers:
Hi guy!.!.!.!.!.yea, it sucks! I agree with you!. I'm sorry about you being a "late bloomer"!. When will you be 16!? Generally that is the average age for a guy to BEGIN to get his growth spurt!. Rather than you being a "late bloomer", they may be "early"!.

Also, do you come from a "small" family!? That is, how tall is your dad!? Your uncles (both sides of the family)!. They will generally dictate how tall you will be!. You know, genetics!.

You haven't seen them yet this year, right!? Please don't borrow trouble!. They may not be as tall as you might think!.

I don't have any "cute" advice for you except to just hang in there!. It will happen to you when it is supposed to happen!.

Make sure you eat a healthy diet with lots of lean protein!. Muscles need protein to grow!. Also, those growing bones need lots of calcium!. You know, milk (2%) cheeses, even ice cream!.

Start working out!. Jogging, push ups, crunches and leg lifts so those muscles will have a jump start on filling out when their time comes!. Otherwise, you will grow tall, but be skinny as heck and you won't like that either!.

Hopefully your "friends" don't make any dumb remarks to you!. Surely they know how hard this is for you!. Maybe you are being too hard on yourself!.

Good luck son,

How about getting more active!? Sometimes weight makes you look shorter!. I am short in height myself!. One of my daughters worries about the same thing!. Worrying won't change things!. When I don't know what to do and feel akward I Let God know what I desire!. Definatly won't do any harm!?Www@Answer-Health@Com

Everyone grows differently!. But if you want your friends to not notice your height try to hit them with some exciting or interesting news so they don't pay attention!. Or if they do notice then just try to make a joke out of it!.Www@Answer-Health@Com

You don't stop growing until the age of 21 years old!. Between 14 and 17 seems to be the period most kids grow faster and then that's it!. They may grow another one inch, but that's about all!. Why don't you try stretching your spine!. If they have monkey bars at your local playground, start going everyday and stretch for a few minutes at a time, or longer if you can!. I've heard that it helps you to grow a little taller!. Try it for about a month and see what happens, growth wise!. If nothing, then you'll probably be your height all your life!. It probably doesn't bother your friends, so why are you so bothered!. You're young and probably handsome so except it and get on with your life!. You could wear shoes with about a two inch heel, and begin body building to make yourself muscular and really fit!. You can tell someone that picks on you that you'll punch them, they bigger they are, the harder the fall!. Take some Karate Lessons for self defense and confidence, stay clean looking and sharp, you'll have to beat the girls off with a two by four!. Make some friends closer to your height, but trust me, if you have a good personality, charisma and charm, you'll go far!. God made you this way for a purpose, and one day you'll find out what!. Good luck to you young man!.Www@Answer-Health@Com

Just act like everything is the way it always is!. You are you, and they like you because of who you are, not because of how you look!. Just think about having fun, and catching up on whats happened over the year, if you don't mention it, most likely they won't either!.

Trust me, I have friends that are more than a foot taller than me!. My best friend is 6'1!.
I am nearly 14, 4'7 and 76 pounds!.
Now I'm a late bloomer!(and get made fun of for not looking like I belong in middle school)Www@Answer-Health@Com
