the only problem with that is those girls instantly rush off to the taller guys :wink:


Tbh you want the girls that look past height, I mean there is this ridiculously hot guy who must be about your height at my school and if I could then I 100% would, dimensions are probably better anyway :rofl:

He wouldn't look twice at a lowly ginger like me :') and you know, doing the do :P
I grew 4.5 inches after my 16th birthday so I'd say there's a chance you're not quite done yet. Still, being short isn't the end of the world!
Your 16 , you will grow , drink milk etc. I know height is based mostly on genes and as your parents are at around your height , it does limit your opt height. But , i grew from 5ft 10 to 6ft 2 , in 3 years , so it's possible.

hey guys,

I've recently turned 16, I'm a guy and I'm like 5'4. ahhhhh it sucks so much, all my friends are like 5'8+ and its unbelievably frustrating... my mum always says ill grow but I've become so fed up with everything, its really affecting my confidence

my dad is 5'8 and my mum is around 5'2, I just hope i get to the same height as my dad :frown:( I haven't really spurted, like my friends look noticeably taller over the summer and here I am still looking like a 12 year old.

supposedly my dad grew a fair amount after 16 but it just sucks so much i just ugh

anyone got anything to say/advise/help?


I am just one year older and I am 5"5, it bothered me until I started to wear Jordans, Air maxs etc. which really make you look at least 2 inches taller. Oh, and DO NOT SMOKE as it may prevent you from growing.

That isn't entirely true, me and my brother are head and shoulders above our parents, with only one brother the same height as them

I am roughly 3-4 inches taller than my father , although genes do play a role , so do environmental factors. He will grow regardless tho.
