You still have time. I beleive humans reach their max height at 18. I would be sure to cut back on sugars and caffeine as they are thought to stunt growth.

I'm 5'7", i had the same problem when i was younger, no self confidence , because most of the girls were taller than me. I could not ask them out or even talk to them knowing i will be to short for them.\n  So one day i decided to do something about it. I went and bought myself a pair of 5" platform shoes.. ( by the way, this was in 1975, this was the year for fashion LOL..)anyway\nit was sat night i was getting ready to go to the disco, i wore my flying nun collard shirt, my 16"flared trousers, and my new 5" platform shoes, my flares would cover most of my shoes so knowone would notice them. Anyway i went to meet my mates outside the disco, i got off the bus and i started to walk towards the disco. I felt great walking 6' tall, i could see all these people lining up waiting to go in, and just as i crossed the road i must of stepped on a large stone or something, and my ankle gave way and ended up flat on the floor with my flares up to my knees and my shoes exposed for everyone to see. All i can remember is everyone p...ing them selfs with laughter, my mates, and all the girls standing there, i never lived it down.\n  After i binned the shoes i decided to approach it in a different way, instead of trying to be the tall guy i might as well be the funny short guy and just make the girls laugh. With that sense of humour i dated a few tall girls.\n  ( Sorry this has dragged on a bit )

You are fine. Some girls don't start until they are 16 years old. Be patient, once you get it you will wish you still hadn't yet...

I'm not sure how tall you are, but I hope you can accept your height and be happy with who you are.  I have a friend who is completely grown, she is only 4'11" tall.  She has always been one of the most confident people I know.  She would sometimes get teased but tended to ignore it and most of it was done to playful, not mean.  I don't think working out will affect whether you grow or not, but it's good for you in general so don't stop.  Some people grow right up to the age of 20, but most stop by 18.  A lot of female celebrities are quite short, like Toni Braxton, Madonna, Shakira, lots more.  And remember what Horton the elephant (Dr. Suess) says, "People are people, no matter how small."

Being short is not a curse. I am 18 years old and have been 4 11 since i was a sophomore in High school. I love being the way I am. I would not want to be any taller if I had the chance. You still have time to grow. Just eat healthy and perhaps you can get the most out of the growing time you have left. If you want to know whether or not you are done growing go to your doctor and get an x-ray of your growth plates in your legs. If they are fused together you are done growing. I have been done for  a very long time. Embrace your height, it is not a bad thing. Granted you will never be a basket ball player but you have many other things to your advantage.

Honey,\nI am 5'10 and have been since I was your age. you are not tall for your age and, as a girl, you probably won't grow to be that much taller. Boys have a growth spurt in their mid teens but girls usually top out at 13-15.\n\nIt was not my intention to insult you.  I do apologize if I did.  I was simply relating to you my own personal experience.  Isn't that what this forum is for?  I do resent your reactions and choice of words however am able to forgive them as you are 12 years old.  Best of luck to you as grow older.

No way.  You're already a little to thin for your height. Don't loose anymore.  You could actually stand to gain a few pounds.

you are a good prospect, keep working out.\n\n:>peace

It really depends on your build and height. You're probably fine, hun.\nI weigh 125 and I'm 21. But I'm 5'6"\nYou are not large at all. You'd have to be under 5 feet to even be considered slightly overweight. Don't listen to the people on here telling you that you're too big.\nAge really has nothing to do with it.
