Answer 1

You failed to mention your age - so I have no clue as to how many more years of potential growth you have left. You mentioned how tall everyone else is - but not YOUR present height.  You must be just like everybody else & wait to see what your genes produce.  You can't rush mother nature.  If you don't realize your dream of being very tall - what then - should we stop the world so you can get off - or - will you thank God for what you do have & make the best of it?  I'd like very much to win the lottery jackpot, too - but - since my chances of winning are slim & none - I am not going to dwell on something I have no control over.

Answer 7

Hiya, I'm short too (I'm a girl however)

Unfortunately there's not much you can do to get taller. It all depends on genetics, so hopefully you'll grow taller within the coming years.

Good luck :)

First thing to realise is simply this. Those fellows are just a bit older than you are. A hormone in their bodies has been released which is called human growth hormone. You are not quite ready for that to happen yet. But it will, believe me. Before you know it, you will shoot up quite quickly and be as tall as your dad. Even taller. But do not judge yourself by comparison with others. Not yet, you are not ready yet but it all will happen automatically.

In the meantime, you can make yourself a giant by getting stuck into you studies and excelling in knowledge. Your folks would be proud of you already, but give them justifiable cause to think even more highly of you by doing well in your school work. It means getting back and reviewing EVERYTHING that you have already done. Prove yourself. I dare you. I shouldn't say that because I already have the confidence that you can do it. Good on you.
