Im 17 and kind of short for my age (5’5”) but i think i still have some puberty left because I look kind of young. Is there ANY way I can still grow 😭😭. Parents are short (4’11) (5’5”) but my grandparents on both sides are tall (6’+) and i think my dad was lowkey malnourished and thats why he turned out short. If its over I could prob accept that but if anyone has any advice it would mean a lot.

Your immediate ancestors(parents) are short asf so thats it. Im 5’10 and my mom is 5’9 and dad 6’1. Just be thankful you dont fall inbetween the range of mother and father and grew to nearly your max.

I have like a hmtn face so i’m atleast a little thankful, it could always be worse.

Check if your growth plates are open via xray or you I can try to diagnose you, if they are open read botb and if not it becomes exponentially harder to grow lol

I’m gonna go to the doctor soon to check and also the endocrinologist. How would you be able to diagnose me? Are there any signs that they are still open I could check for?

thats interesting
how old are you
 
decompress ur spine by deadhanging, it will make ur spine more prone to growth
and eat eggs, contains a lot of amino acids that increase ur baseline hgh

how long til you turn 18?
the only hope is to eat SO much food like
1 gallon raw milk
raw organs
raw meat
other good food and atleas 4000+ calories per day but you still would probably only grow to average height

6 months, but i started puberty SUPER late. I sounded like i was 12 up until like a year ago.

maybe a little bit of hope
best thing is
a version of the diet I previously said
9H+ of sleep per night
lots of sun 1-2 Hours is perfect

17 male so technically not guaranteed to be done but no growth in so many years and i cant afford an xray has kinda just made me consider im done

When i was younger i would sleep like 5-6 hours and then take 2-3 hour naps after school. Ik this sounds dumb but would that have added up to adequate sleep 😭😭? I was so stupid back then and regret it so much. I probably would have been average now if I hadn’t of done that.

Also, be mindful since docs usually do an xray for your wrist to determine if they are open or not which is not accurate imo since my wrists and hand stopped growing long before and I'm still growing in height rn. so if they suggest that, ask for xrays on your legs and spine.

from a rough look at it, maybe between 3 and 4. I kind of have a small skull (ratios are good, just small) compared to my peers and my dad if that helps.
 
Never had a growth spurt, just been gradual.
Very good sign tbh, Im pretty certain you havent hit your growth spurt yet but ask docs to be for surw. Late bloomers are much more advantaged comapared to early/normies since your growth plates will likely be open till your early 20's, just make sure to eat in a surplus and do botb, I wont mention since theres alot. Also, get 9+ straight hours of sleep at night. Wishing you the best.

What is botb
 
This is my dad at my age and he looks a lot more developed than me rn. He also said he stopped growing here so it might be a sign i have diff height genetics than him.
