Is it spirt?

Anyways, this is more for the guys I guess, that are a little older, or some girls that maybe have known people going through this ...

So yeah, I'm 17 and I've clearly been through puberty already. I hit a growth spirt when I was pretty much 15, shot up a few inches, grew some hair under the arms, etc.

Anyways, now I either don't seem to be growing at all, and or I am --very-- slowly. I'm about 5'7, and a measly 120-130 lbs.

Will I hit another growth spirt and ... grow more? I want to, as you can probably tell already.

My mom tells me "guys are different than girls, and can hit their biggest growth spirt when they're like 18 or 19". But the thing is, my birth dad is short (no idea how short, I haven't seen or heard from him since I was 3 ...), and my mom is 5'2. But, according to the mom, and she's been telling me this for years, the "Doctor said you're supposed to be at least 6'0 tall".

That's what I'm going for, and hoping I grow into.

Basically, I'm just asking for those who have maybe experienced this or something, is there still time? I'm just a little tired of being "the short one" of the group these days, and I'd like to get rid of that childish face that I still seem to have.

I do think I am growing a bit lately. I've started to work out a little bit here and there by lifting dumbells and nothing else and my arms and thickening up, and I've spotted some new hair above my belly button ...

That was all a little embarassing, but yeah ... so, still time for me to grow? Will

I'm about to turn 17 myself an I'm 5'11" and about 230.. (yes, im a big boy...)

I'm starting to run and workout so I can be less chubby and more toned and my doctor said I should hit atleast 6' as well.

First, I believe it's 'spurt'.

Hey, I'm ~6'0", and a measly 135 lbs. =/ Don't worry about it too much. If you're the short one of the group, start hanging out with some girls. I guarantee at least one of them will be shorter.

Im 17, im still 5 feet 10 inches ive been the same height since my freshmen year. Im almost 180, when i got a physcial last summer the docotor said i need to put on about 10 pounds.

guys usually get another spirt when their 19/20 so youll have to wait xeo lol.

My friend ross always says i look older everytime he sees me XD. So enjoy your child like face while you have it, lol.

Weren't you really short when we met on X-Realms? (Way back in the day)

I could have sworn you were ...

So yeah, I'm the shortest guy here so far.

Tamarin: Yeah, most girls in my high school are either shorter than me, or around my height.

**glares**

Sick of your childish face, huh? My own music teacher thought I was a freshman up until now...he said I look so young...which defeats the purpose of wearing all that dark eye make-up now

Height? Don't sweat it. I'm 5'2....yeah yeah yeah...I know I'm a girl...but honestly, how many girls on this board are 5'2 or shorter? And if there are any, they have just become my new best friend and I'll love them forever...as long as they don't get bigger than me. >< I'm like 105 lbs now, but yeah, girls are a lot different. Cuz of the whole monthly thing, it's common for us to gain and loose a few pounds here and there....that's what I was told and have found it to be true for me...

I didn't see you mentioning anything about a voice change...'least you're not told you sound like a South Park character...little kid voice, yet curses a lot...lol.

Though I wuv Sparda to death He told me once that I looked older and even sounded older. **huggles Sparda** So I wuv him for that.

Anyway...point being...you're not alone here. and dun say oh but you're a boy, or I'm a girl...cuz my ego doesn't realize those differences. lol.

**huggles** anywho...I think there's still hope for you yet, boy.

I really hope so.

As for the voice, it happened about 4-5 years ago in 7th grade. Man, those days sucked.

I remember reading out loud once in class, and my voice cracked horribly, a girl that I knew turned around and started cracking up. =/

But yeah, my voice is pretty deep now ... all is well with the voice.

....bastard...




Not that I wanna sound like a man or anything, but still...lol.

And don't listen to the doctor. You'll prolly be taller than the doctor says. **shrugs** look at it this way...whatever they tell you, like "oh, this won't hurt..." is usually a lie. it's usually worse....so there's the basis for my prediction.

I'm 14, and am about 5'8-10 now. The growing has ceased a little, but I'm still going up there. I also got all the other pubertytastic stuff going too. w00t.

Anywho, I'd still say you got some grow left in you. Just water yourself and wait a few days.

I was around 6 foot freshman year. I'm around 6'1" now as a senior. In 6th grade I was at 5'11"
So in the last 6 years I haven't grown much. Though in 4th grade I was shortest at 4 feet flat (I reached that in spring and was really happy )

So all in all, I did all my growing in the 5-6th grade, and have only slowly done anything else since. And I'm fairly sure I'm staying at 6'1" and not getting much taller. I weigh in at 203 pounds too. So I'm not a small guy in any sense, but I'm not that big either.

You poor poor boys *huggles* my boyfriend has hair above his belly button but he's a tall boy, 6'5, I'm only 5'5

I've heard if you eat the right foot etc you will grow more and quicker and exercising I'm sure will be a boost

Growth spurts..those things suck. This is probably going to make Xeo angry but I'm 5'10. Pockets keeps telling me I'm taller but I don't think I am. I grew 7 inches in 9 months. And all I have to say is..Ouch.

You'll probably grow Xeo. And i believe it is true that guys grow later that girls.

So the only people shorter than me are Deesse and Kat here.

Meh ...

I do have faith in, my body? So, yeah I still think there's time. I just seriously, would probably be depressed for the rest of my life if I didn't grow anymore ...

I'm 15 and 5'10" and I'm still growing! Bam! I'm taller than the owner of Xeogaming, and younger too XD.

You'll reach 6 feet in a year or two, or three. By 19/20 you'll either be 6' to 6'2" I'm guessing. THen again, I don't have your medical records, and I'm not a doctor so thats a very vague guess.

All you tall people suck. **glares**

I had a little growth spurt, like I was actually one of the tallest kids in class in like the 5th and 6th grades. I've been 5'1 since the 5th grade, and within this past school year I've finally reached 5'2 Woot! But yeah...went from like 4'10 to 5'1 between 4th and 5th grade. Growth spurt...woot! Haven't had once since

**glares at Des** and you said you might be like 5'2 when we first met...sure, get my hopes up, right?

Yeah, but honestly I think 5'2 is a good height for a girl.

But 5'7 for a 17 year old guy, that's horrible.
