I hate being short.?

Question

Ok.

My mom is 5'5 and my dad is 5'8 or 5'9 i think.

I'm 14 and i'm 5 foot.

I went to the doctor yesterday, and she said she thinks that i am going to stop growing.

I was like "5 foot?! Are you kidding me?!"

Ugh, do any of y'all think i'm going to get any taller.

Or is her estimate "correct"

Seriously answers please.

I am very concerned!

Answer 1

When I was 14 the doctor also told me she thought I was going to stop growing. I have since grown a couple more inches. The doctor can only tell you about what time you will stop growing, she can't tell you the exact moment. You may still have a couple inches or even a growth spurt in you! Hope this helped!

Answer 2

Its a very likely possibility.  There's nothing wrong with being short!  Be confident in yourself either way :-)

Answer 3

I think you'll grow a few centimeters or inches more. My mom is 5'2 and my dad is 5'8...my height is 5'6. When I was 14, I'm as tall as you are. You'll have 4 more years to grow (hopefully). They said that women stop growing at the age of 18.

If not, don't be conscious with your height. You're not the only one out there who's short. My cousin is only 4'10 and she's 21 already. Just be confident and try to wear clothes that will make you taller. It's not all about height, it's all about what you can do.

Answer 4

well, height is genetic, and since there is nothing you can do to change that, you might as well stop fretting over something you have no control over. short is fine, too.

Answer 5

I'm sorry, but your doctor usually makes the most accurate predictions. People around the world seem to want something to make themselves taller. But, you have to take it like it is. A miracle could happen.  

Answer 6

Why are you making it a big deal? I'm 18 years old and im 5'4 the thing that sucks is that im a guy! So yeah atleast your a girl. Don't hate yourself to much ok  

Answer 7

You might get taller considering you parents are tallish.

Im 15 and im 5" as well! But my parents aree both short so i have no chance of getting taller.

Consider yourself lucky!  

Answer 8

Who knows but girls do tend to stop growing around that age. That's when I stopped. You need to learn to accept yourself for who you are!

Answer 9

Your height potential was already decided at conception. There is nothing you can do to alter this. I am 5ft, I didn't like being short at first, kept thinking i'd grow more (my parents are tall) not sure what happened with regards to me! but I soon got over the whole being short things, specially when one puts things into perspective (other people have worse issues)

Answer 10

They cannot always predict correctly.  I have family and friends who were told they were done growing, then went to college and grew 5 inches.  However, at 5'11", I always hated being tall and wanted to be short.  I've learned to embrace it and you will too.  There are positives and negatives to being tall and short.  But, as a 5'11" woman, I can tell you, the tall guys tend to go for shorter girls!  I have only had one relationship with a man who is taller than me.  So best of luck growing and enjoy being the cute one!  ;)

Answer 11

Good things *** in small packages. You will always remain cute.  Even if you get fat, you will be cuter than someone 5'7" and fat.

Answer 12

Don't worry about it, you will probably be the most popular girl in school.  Most tall boys like short girls.  I know you want to be taller and your doctor sometimes doesn't know everything.  Try wearing heels and enjoy your statute.  Try to make the best of it.  Good Luck

Answer 13

5 foot is short but i guess you just have to accept the fact that you are not going to grow anymore...my friend is 20 and she is 4"9 they call her shorty but she likes it, it matches her..you should be happy with the way you are anyway

Answer 14

yoghurt, cheese, and boiled chicken. Your bones need phosphorus, calcium, and magnesium while your muscles need water, protein and carbohydrates to grow. Since you are growing taller, both your muscles and bones are getting bigger and longer. Don't waste your money or your health on drugs, alcohol or cigarettes.

Have the hair style that makes you appear taller. In order to appear taller, a hair style should be thin at the sides and higher up top, which can make you appear as much as an inch taller Avoid clothes with horizontal lines. Belts are horizontal so make sure you conceal it in your clothes.

Avoid clothes with a tartan or checked pattern. Avoid cuffs that makes your legs appear shorter.

• Wear clothes with vertical lines or striping. Vertical lines or stripping make a person appear thinner,

and thinness in turn gives impression of more height.

Wear shoes that will make you appear taller. If you are a female, this should be easy since you can find a lot of female shoes with 2 or 3 inches’ heels. For males, wear shoes with thick soles to add the illusion of height.

To increase your height, it is important that your blood is oxygenated as blood provides nourishment to your bones. Regular breathing will also purify your blood. There are three phases to breathing:

1. Inhaling - take in air into your body through the nose

2. Retaining - hold your breath inside your body

3. Exhaling - blow out air from your body through the mouth

It is during deep sleep that growth hormone does its job of thickening and lengthening your bones. So appropriate sleeping time (not the longer, the better) and correct sleeping posture is very important for your body to grow. Sleep is defined as a natural periodic state of rest for the mind and body, in which the eyes usually close and consciousness is completely or partially lost, so that there is a decrease in bodily movement and responsiveness to external stimuli.

During deep sleep, growth hormone produced by your pituitary gland is released into your blood stream and travel through your body and causes the thickening and lengthening of your bones. Therefore, you should achieve "deep level" sleep on a daily basis in order to coordinate your affords of exercises and proper diet. The following are some helpful tips on how to easily achieve deep level sleep.

Sleep in a comfortable and firm mattress.

Sleep in a room that is dark, quiet and fresh smelling.

Sleep with clean, soft, and comfortable clothes.

Keep your hands and feet warm. Scientific studies have shown that warm hands and feet will help induce REM (rapid eye movement) deep sleep. Cold hands and feet will keep you from deep sleep.

Drink a big glass of water before going to bed and when you wake up; this will help clean out your system.

Practice total relaxation and deep breathing for a few minutes before you go to bed.

Relax from head to toe. Close your eyes and relax every part of your body.

Maintain a habit of sleeping at the same time everyday, including weekends.

Sleep on your back with a flat pillow under your knees. This will align your spine properly and prevent any back aches caused by sleeping in a bent position.

Undoubtedly, the quality, quantity, and type of food we eat affect our height, growth, and health. We cannot emphasize enough how important your food intake is in determining how much growth you can possibly obtain. The types of food you eat will either improve or decrease your growth potential.

After careful consideration and research, the daily content of protein, carbohydrates, fats and water can be achieved if the following items were taken regularly.

Carrots Fish Liver

Egg Yolk Beef Red Meat

Milk Cheese Apples

Green Vegetables Potatoes Nuts

Yellow Vegetables Almonds Bananas

Peanuts Chicken Beans

Peas Salt 6-8 glasses of water per day

If you eat a lot of peanut butter, your height will not necessarily stop. Neither does masturbation stop height.

What might stop you from growing is smoking, drugs, alcohol, lack of sleep, stress, digestive problems, or lack of exercise.
