Am i short for my age? 2010-01-25 18:09:02 Reply

I'm 5'7 and 15 years old. I feel...insecure about my height, how does one get taller quicker? I wanna be at least 6 feet tall, and by my rate i don't think ill be any taller. I have almost a full grown beard and I'm only 15, I'm afraid that I'm getting old as shit quick, meaning my growing will also come to it's stop very soon.

I feel so short next to my taller friend, but he's fatter than me so that evens it out

I'm 6'3 going on 6'4 and i'm 16.
So i'd say i'm either really tall, or you're really small.

I'm 16 and like 5'11", I think. Don't worry about speeding up your growth, you won't stop getting taller until your mid-20's.

Uh you don't really just grow taller by any means. It's mostly genetic, of course I guess you could play basketball but you can't just grow tall fast, and also 5'7 at 15 is a normal height.

It's normal, sometimes you grow more a little later, sometimes you don't. Being insecure is a bit much, though.

You're a good size. I'm 18 and I'm 6foot, so hopefully you'll grow a bit more into your teens.

You're a little bit short, but completely within the norm. And you still have another couple of years to add an inch or two.

You may not ever be a goliath, but you're definitely not embarrassingly short. As long as you look decent and have a good personality, there's nothing wrong with you.

Well I've heard certain foods you can eat and exercising helps with growing, which is why i asked such a silly question

It's mostly based on genetics but eating healthy while you're still growing can make a difference but you're past your major growth. However there is certain stretches that can add an inch or possibly two to your height if done properly and daily, do each of these stretches everyday.

You're pretty mediocre for height at your age, I'm only 5'11" which is pretty tall for most guys anyway.

I'n 15 and a solid 6'4. Tall five!
But 5'7 isn't so bad, especially for a teenager. 5'10 is probably where you wanna be when you're an adult, and you have plenty time to get there.

I wouldn't worry about your height at fifteen. You're going to grow more.

Well I though I capped off at 5'11'' when as soon as I turned 16 but I'm at 6 feet now since the last few months, so you can grow at anytime before you're like 19!
