Height Growth After Puberty
Sunday, July 10th, 2011
Is it true you stop growing in height after you’re 13-14?
Checked in with my doc, and basically it’s a long story but i’ll try to explain clearly:
I’ve been kind of chubby since i’ve been 8. my parents were hoping that when i hit puberty, the “growth spurt” would take a lot of the weight i have and turn it into height. in other words i’d lose weight and get a bit taller. So, on my 13 year old checkup, my doc says i missed my chance to lose the weight the “easy way” and i’ll need to diet because i missed the growth spurt.
I’m at the 75% height percentile for my age.
My question really is, do you really keep growing until you’re 18? how can i grow faster.
18-21. All genetics. No way to grow faster.
