Some questions about height?!


Question: Some questions about height!?
I am 15 and i started puberty quite early (about 11/12 ish) and had my growth spurt!. I am 5ft 7inches and i have been that height since october 2006!. My parents are quite short so does that mean i will be!? And also because i havent grown in a while does that mean i will not grow any more!?
Im not worried about my height but i was just wondering!.Www@Answer-Health@Com


Answers:
My parents are really short lets say about 5 ft!. i am nearly 6ft and im only 14 yrs old!. my science teacher told my that if you add your dad and your mom's height and divide by 2, you can check your hight!. if you get it shorter than your height than it is not because of your parents are short!. You may have either uncles, grandfathers that are tall and that may be why your tall!. Also no you will still continue to grow!. my Teacher also said you stop to grow when your young but then continue!.Www@Answer-Health@Com

9/10 times the genes influence height!.
But it is possible to be taller with a strong diet and exercise lifestyle!. How you grow is influenced on how you live and take care of your body during puberty/adolescence!. You still have some time, by 22 or 25 years of age you can't expect any miracles in the height department!. For now, just don't think about it!. The average height of men in America is now 5"10 so maybe you'll get up to that!.Www@Answer-Health@Com

Hmmm genes are important yes but don't just look at your parents!. Look at your relatives grandparents, uncles, aunts!. You are only 15, you have so much time to grow more!. Each generation is better at the previous one, so I am sure you won't stay this height for long!.Www@Answer-Health@Com

I'm 17 and 5'4 and have been since I was like 12/13!. I also began puberty earlier than others, and so I think that that could be a contributing factor!. I WANT TO GROW!! But I dont think its gonna happen :(Www@Answer-Health@Com

Well, you might grow another inch or so but, since you grew so quickly and young, you might not grow anymore!. but 5'7" is a good height =)Www@Answer-Health@Com

kind of silly question, but what is your foot size!.!.!.

usualy foot size translates into height!.!.!.

you may still be growing, but it will be alot slower!.!.!. i dont see you breaking 6 footWww@Answer-Health@Com

You will continue to grow until you are 18-20 y/o!. My nephew really shot up when he turned 18 so you will still grow a little while longer!.Www@Answer-Health@Com
