Is there anything wrong with my growth?!


Question: Is there anything wrong with my growth?
I'm turning 13 this year and i'm only 148 cm. My dad is about 169 cm, my mom is 161 cm, and my sister is 164 cm. Why am i so short? I went online and they said you have to eat a lot, exercise, and sleep to grow. I did all of that for years and i only grew about 5 cm after taking those advices. Please help me, people are starting to make fun of me and other people at school that i don't know are now calling me "shorty" after they go past me. most of my friends are starting to make fun of my height. i think the one thing that made me short was because in grade 1 and 2, i used to play lots of computer games, eat very little, and sleep for only 7 hours. was my past the reason why i'm so short today?

Answers:

Hello. Relax, you're only 13. You are not done growing yet. You will get taller. Playing computer games, and sleeping 7 hours has nothing to do with being short. Look around, some people are tall, and some people are short. That's just the way it is. It's not bad to be short ( or tall ). It's what kind of person you are that matters, not your height. But trust me, you are going to get taller, so you need to stop worrying about it, and enjoy life :-) Take care.



Hi, I am short as well, some people just are. You have lots of time to grow.
