Will i get taller when I am 15?!


Question: I am 14 and I am short and I am tired of people calling me shorty and picking on me since I am short. I am about 5'2 or 5'3 and good looking (that doesnt help though). A lot of people say I will get taller when I am a sophomore which is when I am 15. Is that true? Will it be during school time or the summer? please help me!!!

You'll stop growing at about 21. 15 is a great age to grow.

You're shorter than me. I am 5' 6" and I am 13. Maybe, fortunately everyone is an individual.No one knows for sure. It's all about how tall your parents are pretty much

it depends on how tall your parents are.

and genetics, and how much you're bones have matured.

if you really wanted to know, you can get an x-ray and ask the doctor to look at your growth plates.

have you gone through puberty yet? you won't grow a lot more after that. Also, you should expect to be the height of your parents added together, divided by 2 add two inches for a boy, subtract 2 inches for a girl.
Having said that, my parents were short of food when growing up due to worldwar 2, and I am taller than either of them.

You will probably grow another 4 inches in the next 4 years to peak at 5'6 or 5'7.
