Why have I not grown
I’m 19 years old and 5ft exactly. I’ve been this height since I was 12 years old. Why?
At 19, the human body has done most of its growing, but not all. If you're a girl, it's likely you won't grow too much in height after this. But if you're a boy, it's possible.
But if there has been a significant growth stunt, the delay may be caused by an underlying health condition, such as growth hormone deficiency or hypothyroidism. You could visit your GP to investigate. Nobody on here is probably qualified enough to give you a perfectly accurate answer especially because you've not given all the relevant details.
Remember though - height isn't everything!
