Late growth spurt?!
Question:
Late growth spurt?
is it possible that i have a late growth spurt?
i'm 5'1.5 and 14 year old girl and i've never grow more than like around 1 or 2 inches a year. i've already had my period for almost 2 years. could it be that my growth spurt is late or i've already had it? i really want to grow taller soon >.<
my mom is around 5'4 and my dad is around 5'7. my grandmas are around 5ft and my grandpas are around the same height as my dad
Answers:
I'd say if you're 14, there is a chance you may still have a growth spurt. I did around that age, but I got stuck at 5'3 and stayed there. Rule of thumb to go by--add mom and dad's height, divide by two, subtract two inches from that for a girl, add two inches from that for a boy--should give you a guideline of where you are most likely to fall in. I think I stunted my own growth, b/c based on the advice I just gave you I should be 5'5, not 5'3, lol. Well, take it for what it's worth....
