Can I grow taller?

[Anonymous]

Hi I'm 17 and I'm a really short guy standing at 5'4.

my dad is 5'7 so I'm hoping to reach that height.

maybe I'm a late bloomer I don't know but I do know this

-I'm very skinny weighing 107 pounds
-I have small hands and feet
-my legs are ok but I have a really small torso
-I still have a baby face

You could still be growing. Basically all the guys in my family didn't stop growing until they were in their 20s.

Just depends on genetics.

Quick question, were you born premature? Cause that could effect it too. Sorry if you weren't, just kind of sounds like it.

I don't want to give you false hope I mean you could be done, but I've seen guys that are still growing at 20 so you could get taller, there's really nothing bad about your height tho...

I feel like a kid though.

Oh, don't worry about it your great the way you are, whether you get taller or not..

My doctor told me how tall I would be after they x rayed my knee for a problem I had so they can tell you if you're done growing or not based on spacing and lack of cartilage.

Guys are done growing at 21 so it's possible but 3 whole inches is asking for a lot.

there's surgeries for that later on in life...

break your femur and shin bone... get upto 8 inches...

[Asker]

I don't wanna be tall I just wanna be 5'7

[I_M_LEGEND]

you're probably 90 percent done growing.

[Asker]

My dad was 5'4 when he graduated high school. He's 6'2 now. So I mean... could happen.

[Asker]

wow really

[Prettygurl12]

Yeah. I hoped I would have the same skill though and I'm forever stuck at 5'4 :p

[Asker]

short girls are great though

[Prettygurl12]

Eh... not when you're 21 and the size of a 4th grader.

[raaaaaaaj]
