Smoking, coffee, poor diet and lack of exercise are the big ones. Any of those can cancel growth spurts. Genetics isn't a big help, either.

it depends on your height, your metabolism, how active you are....lots of things. \nplus since you are still growing you may go through periods of time where you gain weight and then have a growth spurt. \ntalk to your parents if you are worried that you are over weight or underweight. if you are really that worried you can have your parents make a doctors appointment for you and discuss whatever anxiety you may have with your weight. \n\ni wouldn't worry about it at your age, especially if your doctor doesn't believe it is an issue. just try to eat healthy (that doesn't mean to not eat junk, just eat it in moderation) and to stay active.

Sorry, but no. The only thing you grow into is your nose and ears because neither ever get larger. As for the belly, exercise. Sorry.

depends on how long you smoked but probably never doesnt mean you shouldnt. dont make things worse; a million other side effects besides your lung damage will be avoided.

most females quit growing by the time they are 20. although i think my daughter quit 2 years ago. you could donate some of your height to her- she's 4ft 11 and is 18 yrs old. most people think she's 12 or 13.

It's not that a 13 year old "can't smoke",the question is: "Why would a 13 year old want to smoke?". By the time your 16, you'll look 25,and your lungs will look like spinach!.

You stop growing at the age of 19. You can grow taller unless mother nature wants that. Plz, don't use vitamins, they are strong and they will hurt your stomach. The best way to gain weight is to go to a doctor and he will give you a recipe to gain weight. Don't try to eat junk food.

There is a strong possibility that you will because you are only 15 and will not stop growing until you are 21. You have a long way to go. But it only depends on your genes so there is no definite answer.

you quit smoking by not lighting up a cigarette and smoking it.  But, that can take several tries before it happens.  I quit 6 months ago for good, but the first time I quit was 10 years ago.  I also was afraid of weight gain, so I joined a gym the day I quit smoking.  I go every day, and haven't lost a pound.  HOWEVER, I didn't give up any foods, drinks, etc...I eat everything I want to (for now, until I feel like I can tackle that issue, too) and I just look at it like 'hey, I didn't gain any weight, either'.  I'm much more fit, and most importantly, I'm not scared everytime I have a pain that I'm gonna have a heart attack, or die from smoking.  All you can do is substitute your smoking with something healthy.  When you're ready, you'll do it.  I'd say good luck, but you won't need it.

After two years of jelqing and stretching, I gained 1.5" in length. You can probably see the result after two years. Don't be upset.

That's great that you WANT to quit!  That's half the battle right there!  Think about the baby you and your husband want to have someday...how healthy it will be if you don't smoke!  Smoking is an expensive, disgusting habit that is hard to break once you are hooked on nicotine.  If you haven't tried the patches that are available, ask your doctor for some help.  Put aside all the money you WOULD have spent on cigarettes and go on a trip!  Buy baby things!  And as far as gaining weight, be sure to have lots of veggies at home...carrots and celery, and lots of fresh fruit.  I don't buy junk food at all, because if it's here in the house, I WILL eat it!  If it isn't around me then I won't be tempted.  Try taking up a dance class or join a gym.  GOOD LUCK!!!!!  BE DETERMINED!

smoking narrows blood vessels.  Smoking slows down healing times.  So if you are lifting weights, you might need to wait an extra day or two more than what is recommended for other people because it will take your muscles longer to heal and recover.  \n\nMy friend had gum surgery and they told her her healing would take  longer and probably be more painful because she was a smoker.

It can, it straightens the back and stretching promotes growth.\n-it probably wont be a major noticable difference and the growth thing may only happen if youare under 21 or so

I'm SURE that you're not finished growing (especially since you havent had your period yet) - I even grew a bit when I was 20 yrs old!!  But people do grow at differnt rates.  My friend used to be alot taller than me when we were young and until we were about 15 yrs old, then she seemed to stop (but she smoked cigarettes since she was like 13, which stunts or slows your growth), while I still grew and now ( i'm in my 20s) were about the same height.  I also know that stretches and running alot might help (my sis ran track in high school and grew like 6 inches from age 15-22, it was weird, cause nobody in my family is tall, she was so short then after a while of track kept growing, and I heard of other people who that seemed to happen to also).  So what you want to do is make sure u eat healthy, thats very important, maybe run (either outside or if not, a treadmill, do warmup stretches first before the run)- and don't smoke cigarettes or anything because that only stops growth.  Hope that helps some.

You need to provide your body with real vitamins and minerals from vegetables and natural foods.  Sugar and white flour and fried foods that have no nutritional value can actually stunt your growth.  I do not drink milk.  Humans are the ONLY species that drinks milk after they are babies...PLUS we drink it from another species!  I wouldnt give my cat my breast milk!  Thats just wrong.  You are still young!  Eat really healthy (tons of veggies!), drink lots of water, get enough sleep and exercise regularily, dont smoke or do drugs (they can make you smaller) and with time you will grow!  Dont be impatient!  You are only a kid once!
