Question: I am 16 and 5'3" will I grow more.?
My dad was about 5'5" and my mom is about 5'4" so yes I have a short family, but both of my brothers have reached about 5'5 3/4". I am 16 5'3" and weigh about 140. When do you think I will grow these last 2 inches.? I'm worried that I will be shorter then my brothers. When I want to reach atleast 5'5"!! Does diet or exercise help you grow.? And when do you think these last 2 inches will come me. my two brothers are ages 19 and 21 Health Question & Answer
Answers:
I was shorter than that at your age and grew substantially later on. I doubt you'll see much more growth, if any, and obviously because of your parent's height. You might find encouragement that your brothers are a little taller, so it is possible you may grow a little more. Just make sure you're eating right , getting plenty of rest, and exercising. Ask your brothers how old they were when they finished growing and that should be a good indication of when you'll finish.Health Question & Answer
