Will I Grow

miked2789 · 11-27-2004, 09:29 PM

Yes I know one of these "height" threads probably comes along everyday, so i figured wtf, one more won't hurt. I'll give all the info and i'm sure someone out there can give me an answer. I'm 16.4 yrs old (bday 7/15), and I'm currently 5 8 or just a shade under I think. I started puberty I think in 7th grade because I remember gettin measured 6th grade yr in school and being 4 9.75. By 8th grade year I was 5 4 so I'm pretty sure I hit puberty in 7th grade. Last yr (soph yr, currently junior) I measured at 5 6.5, and I'm pretty sure I've grown an 1" to an 1.5" since then. My dad and mom are 5 1 and 5 4, and yes my dad is the one that is 5 1. Now some of you may think right now forget it kid your probably done growing but I think my father's height is just the result of a poor diet as a kid, he grew up in Italy pretty poor. His brother though is 5 7, and all of my male cousins from his side range from 5 7-6 3, and the ones that are 5 7 and 6 3, have parents that are 4 10 and 5 5, go figure lol. I can't give any info for my mom's family because she was adopted which puts me shit out of luck. I do drink milk by the gallon, eat like a pig, workout regularly, and have recently started taking a multi-vitamin and doing stretching exercises. I've supplied all the info so could someone please answer, thanks.

LOL, everyone's different. You're going to have to wait and see...

Well, there's certainly still hope. You're not all that short, anyways. I'm Italian too, and I have an uncle who grew 7" in one summer, so you never really know. You're just 16, and guys can grow well into their early 20s, so I'd say you have nothing to worry about as long as you eat right (especially with all that milk). Hope that helped.

Keep eating! You've got plenty of time, just don't stress over it.
