I'm 5'5 and 16 Years old.. will I continue growing?

Question

Okay well, I am 5'5 and 16 years old and I have Ulcerative Colitis. I already have hair under my arm pits, and hair on my face. My voice hasn't really matured yet... And I was wondering if I will grow taller..

Please don't say height doesn't matter, I still want answers please.

Anything I can do? Excersise..special diets...etc.

Thank you

Answer 1

yes

Answer 2

Men stop growing from 18-21 years old. You got a few more years ahead of you to grow...If your voice hasn't matured yet that means your still in puberty...You'll probaly get a growth spurt soon. Diets WILL NOT do anything for your growth...Milk Strengthens bones...Not your height

I say you stick with what you got...God made you for who you are for a reason.

:)

P.S. - If you REALLY care about your hieght there are Height Enhancers avaliable...Talk to your doctor about it. Ulcerative Colitis doesn't affect your height.

Answer 3

Yea sure you will grow. Some people just grow and mature a bit later than other people. Some grow when they are 14 then stop and some get a spur at 17 or so. there are some people that just have shortness that runs in there family, but you could most likely grow. You don't stop completely growing till your like around 23.

Answer 4

most guys grow untill their 21. exersise helps with growth and for diets just eat healthy.

Answer 5

You're still going to grow, no worries.

Answer 6

You have still many years of growing ahead of you.Men do grow till their early twenties,so I would not worry that much.

Exercises and diets will not contribute to growth at all.

And drinking milk for growth is bull:it just strengthens the bones.

Just be patient and let nature take it from here.You'll be fine.

Answer 7

Hey, if this is a really big problem for you, you should talk to your doctor.  he might be able to refer you to someone who could help, with special diets or medecines.

Even though your family members may be taller, there are other contributing factors to height.  (Nutrition, Hidden Genetics, etc).  Again, you should talk to a doctor if this is really important to you.

Answer 8

You keep growing into your 20s man. I heard that 25 is like the absolute stop to growth. You may have time to grow for the next 9 years. So dont worry. And even if you dont grow anymore (which I think you will) Its not the worst thing.

And dont do any excercises people tell you it may actually hurt your chances of growing. You can damage your growth plates. Its a natural process man. Dont try and aid it on your own too much or you can mess up the growth personally.

Good luck.

Answer 9

dnt worry, ull prob start growing soon...maybe drink more milk? (im nt kidding >.>)

Answer 10

Nothing you can do will increase your hieght. You will grow a few more inches if your voice still hasent became deep yet.

Answer 11

Most guys grow until 18yo.  Some even grow into their 20s.

I'm thinkin you have some more growth coming.

As for what you can do....just wait is about all.

Answer 12

Eat.Eggs, milk, cheese, bread , take vitamins.Drink a nutrition shake with your food.My sisters boyfriend started taking something from GNC when he was in middle school he was a p[ower house by trhe time he got to high school.Ask the football coaches and football players at your school.When I say eat I mean EAT.As asixteen year old boy you should have a veracious appetite anyway.Im not talking about candy and soda.Im talking food.
