okay, so i'm in year twelve [obviously] and i've grown about a centimetre since i was in year six. i waited and waited for a growth spurt but it seemed to never come. i'm now seventeen, and i neeeeeeed to be five centimetres taller.

is there any hope for me? or anything that i can do that would encourage growing?

please don't say that i should get my legs broken and extended or something, cause that's just a little drastic for my liking.

your opinions are appreciated =]]. thanks heaps.

not sure if this is in the right forum, didn't really fit anywhere else i don't think.. ? thanks.

Yea, Ive got the same problem. Lucky your a girl, imagine a guy being your height.

I started playing basketball which, i thought made me grow taller by a few cm. Now definitely i am a head taller then many of my asian friends, but still below par when compared to anglos.

We cannot do much about genes.

in year 7 i was 145cm, u know how in PE class u do this measuring thing where u measure ur weight and height and the beep and basketbal test and stuff (yes u know, i went to CHS too), this went up to year 10 i believe, and i noticed i grew 2.5cm each year, and by yr 12 i was around 166cm, and im still around the same, around 167cm.

i doubt we'll grow more, but apparantly we're growing till we're 21, so yea.

I'm 15 150 cm but I weigh 55kg. I have muscle density. Some people say that some who hit puberty late grow at a very quick rate just before 18.

165cm isnt as bad as you make it out to be, your height is pretty average. I was expecting you to be something way, way shorter then that.
it's not that i think i'm short, there's just certain things you can't do unless you're a little taller =[[.
