Did anorexia stunt my growth?!


Question:

Did anorexia stunt my growth?

I'm 16, and I'm really short and thin for my age. I think this may have something to do with my lack of eating as a child, because during my puberty years (like 12-14) I was basically anorexic and always underweight. Now at 16 I'm 5'2" and weigh about 100 pounds (I'm eating now) but I have absolutely no boobs or butt or anything. My parents are both over 6 feet tall so I'm very surprised that I'm short like this. Is there still a chance to grow or did I miss my chance?

Answers:

Osteoporosis is, unfortunately, a disease that results from anorexia.
