No growth spurt 15, short forever?!
Question:
No growth spurt 15, short forever?
Hi, I'm really stressed with the fact that I'm 15, asian and 5'1, only in early stages of puberty (oily skin, pimples, short peach fuzz "down there", dandruff) small stuff really, I recently asked my mom about my height (she wants me to be very tall) she says I might not get a growth spurt because I "don't eat much", I don't eat much because our dinners are all 3 week old leftovers, but when something's fresh, I voraciously eat. I have been feeling more hungry recently (cravings for vegetables, fruit, hot meals, healthy things after meals and before bed) and I also grew half an inch in 3 weeks, an improvement. The endocrinologist said I had delayed growth, and that there was no problems with my hormones.
What do you guys think,
will I have a growth spurt sometime in life?
Thanks

Just wait a bit longer. This kid in my grade as a freshman was short, maybe 5'6. Now as we finished up Junior year he is almost as tall as me 6'3!
