What could cause a person to stop growing when they are 11?!


Question: I'm 20 now.


Answers: I'm 20 now.

If you were an 'early bloomer' like i was, 11 could be it. I hit my final height at 11 too, and I'm 5'9. Don't tell me that wasn't awkward in elementary/middle school... lol

caffeine, low amts of sleep

Dying at age 11, for one.

dwarfism or you are just a runt, it happens, I'll bet people think you are so cute, you probably get tired of it

Hormones. Commonly overweight girls are likely to have their period before they're suppose to.

Smoking, overweight, drugs, being underweight etc

For me, it was Hypothyroidism. It was not caught until I was 19 and by that time it was too late for the medication to help me grow.

Also a lot of the ADD and ADHD medication will cause stunted growth.

Some people reach their peak height at 11. It happens.

taking the bible literally is a huge growth stunter.

if yer a girl and yer petite, why fight it
girls all over the world would KILL for size double zero clothing

unless u look like a midget
then who cares
i love tiny chicks!

masturbating stunts your growth....have you ever seen midget sex their horny little buggers....and short

Hormone deficiency. Doctors can give you hormones tho to sort it out.

Smoking cigarettes, drinking, and drug abuse come immediately to mind, but many other factors can play a part. Genetics, malnutrition, hormonal imbalance, and poor environment can all lead to it too. Typically growth deals with the development of the bones. Possibly an issue there too. Hope that helps. Take care.
