r/heightgrowth

I’m 17M, turning 18 in November, and I’m not sure if I’ll grow any taller. Before puberty I was around 5'3-5'4, and now I’m 5'6. It’s been like 2 or 3 years since I’ve noticed any height increase.

For context, my dad is 5'5, my mom is 5'0, and my older brother is 5'8. My uncles are around 5'9 or 5'10, not sure if that matters.

I honestly don’t know if I still have any growth potential, and I’m not even sure if I’ve fully completed puberty yet. I already have a beard, not very thick since I shave, and a decent mustache, plus normal body hair on my arms and legs, so it feels like I’ve gone through most of it.

The main issue is my motivation is starting to drop. Things like working out, eating properly, and sleeping well just feel pointless when I keep thinking I might be done growing.

I know I could check my growth plates with an X-ray, but my parents don’t really take it seriously when I bring it up.

I also have some body issues like flat feet, slight bow legs, and it feels uncomfortable, like there’s pressure on my feet. I also have anterior pelvic tilt and pretty bad posture. I’ve tried to fix these but I’m struggling.

I just want to know if there’s still any chance I’ll grow more, and if things like diet, stretching, or exercise actually help. And if anyone has dealt with similar posture or body issues, what helped you fix it.

Hello, im currently 15 and 165cm (5,5). I know that i am going to grow because of puperty but i still want to know if they are any important things to do in this time. For reference my father ist 1,79 (5,11) and my mom is 163 (5,4). Apperiently i dont sleep a lot, i think its 4 to 6 hours depending on the day but more in brakes from school of course. I dont feel very happy with my hight considering i am one of the smallest in my class and girls making fun of me. I am very thankful for anyone who got tips or other things.

so basically from 14yro start i grew from 156cm to 162cm in 2 months, then after that i grew another 3cm in 7 months thats 9cm, so can i reach the 10th cm by the end of 14 or no (i have 3 months)

14yro: 156cm/5'1.5

14yro.2months: 162cm5'3.5

14yro.9months: 165cm/5'5

so i started my puberty around 11 or 12 and grew from 5'2 to 5'7 during two years or so in that time period but sincw i turned 13 my height has grown only 2 inches , rn i will be 17 in may. my dad is 5'10 and mum 5'7 plus i have decent not too much of body and facial hair. can i grow taller than my dad atleast or is it over?

I had my voice change( changed gradually not like a crack)few months before I turned 14.I had my last growth few month before 15.

Now I’m 16.4 and my endo says that my bone age (wrists)is 17 and that the growth plates there are nearly closed.

I’m still few cm shorter than my brother who had the same thing as me (no growth for 1.5-2 years )but then at 17.5-18.5 he grew 3-4 cm taller.As for my uncle he had his major growth spurt at 17 and became like 7 cm taller

Should I expect smth like this ?

Hey everyone! I'm 16 years old (turning 17 soon) and today I'm 5'9 tall. I confess that, since the pandemic, I haven't been taking care of myself: I ate poorly, hardly drank any water, and was completely sedentary. Now I've decided to change that to try and reach my maximum height potential. I'm going to the gym, running, and playing basketball, in addition to stretching for posture. I've also greatly improved my diet and started sleeping 8 to 9 hours, which is double what I used to sleep before. Regarding supplementation, I'm using some items like Zinc, Magnesium, Calcium, and amino acids (Arginine, Ornithine, and Glutamine). What gives me hope of growing more is that my extremities (hands and feet) and my wingspan are quite large, but my torso is still short. My father is about 5'11 tall and my mother is 5'4. Since I've always been one of the shortest in my class and only started growing properly now, I suspect my development is delayed. Has anyone else experienced this or know if I still have a chance to gain a few more centimeters?

I turn 15 in 2 months and I got measured in November at 5’9.7 barefoot but I grew to 5’10.5 in 2 months my wingspan is 6’8.5 and I wear size 13 in men’s shoes and my hands are 8.5 inches how tall can I be?

Help me reach 6'6

I hate my height, I feel insecure about it, and I have only started to feel the fear of being under average in my surroundings, I didn't care back then because I was quite tall for my age back then because of early puberty, but as the people around me grew older and started puberty, I realize that I am not really "tall", and I really hate that feeling. I am 16, 175cm, dad is 180 and mom is 155 (however my maternal aunts are like 160+, not sure if that changes anything). I think I am in the final stages of puberty, I haven't grown much since last year, and I regret what I have done that probably made me not reach my potential.

The thing is that I REALLY really regret not prioritizing sleep. Due to my school schedule and my addiction to short form content, plus the fact that I am a chronic procrastinator, doing my homework past 12 because I couldn't bring myself to do it earlier, I slept like 5-6 hours daily when I was in my growth spurt during weekdays, and 7-8 hrs in weekends, and slept even less for the past 1-2 years because I had more work to do, I did take naps though, but I don't think it really matters anymore. I remember when I procrastinated during my exams, and started studying the day before, and during exam weeks I got like 2-3 hrs of sleep daily. Now I feel fatigued and terrible everyday too.

I ate well, but I didn't sleep well, I exercised sometimes but was very inconsistent. I really really hate my school and what short form content did to me, I hate that I cant stop procrastinating.

So my advice to those that recently started puberty or is still growing. PRIORITIZE SLEEP AND EAT WELL, get 8+ hrs sleep, if anything is getting in your way of sleeping 8+ hours then it's not important, because nothing is more important than sleep when you are in puberty. And stop doomscrolling and procrastinating too.

alright I'm done yapping

I am a female and I just turned 15 I'm around 160(5'3) cm approx . It is considered avg height for girls in my country but all my friends are tall around 5'5 , my family also keeps telling me to grow atleast 3 inches more and tbh I wanna grow badly . I got my period in 6 grade and Im in 10th grade now and I haven't grown much since 8th grade while everyone around me keeps growing taller honestly its disheartening. my mum keeps saying that if I stretch and exercise I can grow taller ( im not very physically active rn ) . also my mom is 5 ft and my dad is 6ft so acc to the height formula or whatever I should be around 161 cm kinda what I already am . so I wanna know if I start stretching is their a chance I can grow 2 inches more ....
