Stressed About Height

[extra]

hey , im just been stressed so much about my height everyone around me seems like giants. i just turned 17 and am only 5'6 , i think im a late bloomer i only just got armpit during the last year
ive always had alot of hair on my legs and arms
i have a bit of upperlip hair and on my chin.
my penis is also small i wud say 4 inches at most and i only started masturbating during the last year (try not to but get alot of urges at least once a day)
and weight only 112 llbs (i eat quite abit as well)
so im wondering whats wrong with me , will i grow anymore?, i feel so stessed
, i try no to think about it and just enjoy but i just feel awkard standing around people same age and younger who are alot bigger

All of us feel like that, no matter what age we are. I guess all of us are a little stressed about growing and where we stand no matter what. I suggest that you go to the doctor though, and ask him what's up. You should be bigger all-round at 17 - sure, you got some time, but not ALL that long of time. You could ask him if there's any meds or injections you can take to get your growth hormones going, also

Don't worry, there's nothing really to worry about...You could just end up a smaller guy, and you do have a few years to go, which you could see a lot of growth in those next few years! Plus I do hear a lot of stories about 17 y/os who are going through the same thing as you, and most of them catch up anyways

Good luck at the doc's :D

lol ive never made a docors appointment before , i was thinking about it but feel nervous on doing so. im scared he might just laugh at me and kick me out.

[MoveAlong]

If he does that, he's an ass! :P We all go through this and we all have worries. If you ask the qusetions that I gave you (and a few of your own), which are lagitimate questions, he shouldn't have a big reason to kick you out or laugh at you. If he does, you can complain to someone at the desk about that and hopefully they can help you

ermm im not sure , anyway i thaught all males get a physical examination when they are 17-18 somone once told me.
is there anybody else to see other than the doctor?

[Whisper]

I'm almost 20 and i've never been to the doc just for a check-up

No just go to a doc if your worried

[Whisper]

you can actually fit into vehicles you dont have to duck when you go down the stairs you dont have to bend down to wash your hair in the shower etc.....

[domsaleo]

Umm no not really, he's a qualified med professional...how much better can it be?

Hey, that happens...it's something we all go through and all I can say is you shouldn't worry about it that much and let it slide

[domsaleo]

Well lets put it this way, everyone i know my age is taller than me and im a junior in high school and people say i look like im in 7th grade...ive gotten so used to it when people make fun of me i just threaten to kick there ass because strong is one thing i am!

[Crazysam]

Dont worry about it you'll get taller as time comes. As your said your only 17 people don't stop growing until early 20s :D

[TheDude]

I'm way too short
I'm 13 and 5'2''
Last time I checked, anyway

Go see a doctor, he'll tell you what's going on. How tall are your parents, and of what build? That's definitely a huge factor in full-adult size. If your dad is 6'1 and your mom is 5'8" chances are you'll sprout at least another 3-4inches before you reach definite adult height at 21.

5'2" isn't that short for 13... I was only a bit taller than that at 13, and I'd say it's about average for that age.

[TheDude]

My parents are both around 5'10'' but my brother is 6'0''

[RowanVer.3.0]

Kind of off-topic, but I decided I might as well answer TheDude while waiting for a reply from Extra. Anyway, TheDude, you'll be within the height range 5'9"-6'3"... Most likely around 5'11". Those are pretty good height genes having a mother and father around 5'10".

[Jijjin]

At least you are still growing, and you have potential to keep growing. I'm also 5'6'' or 5'7'', and I'm 15. The problem? I was like 5'5'' or 5'5 1/2'' when I was 14. My body is maturing okay, except my voice (I have to deepen to disguise it). I have not budged an inch this summer (which is bad, really bad). The only thing that grew was my wang, which is the only good thing. My arms, legs, hands, overall stature, nothing. I've been gaining weight too, and I'm 133 lbs (16+ lbs from last year). Well, good thing I have a doctor's appointment right before school starts, and I bought shoes that can make me look 5'8''. So you see? At least you know that you're growing...

That's what my doctor and the charts say... I was also about 5'2'' when I was 12 turning 13. I'm not so sure anymore though...

my mam is pretty small about 5'2/3 but my dad is about 5'10 and he is pretty big build he is a weightlifter, and my sister is only about 1 or 2 inches shorter than me.

Well, those are a lot like my genetics. Considering you're 17 already, you'll grow anywhere from 1 inch and be 5'7" up to about 4 inches bringing you to 5'10"... However, somewhere in the middle of that is the most likely. It isn't written in stone, but the most likely adult height you will have is 5'7"-5'8"... Your genetic height potential is 5'8.5", but, not everybody reaches their height potential.

In short: You'll most likely be anywhere from 5'7"-5'8.5" at age 21. Average adult male height in Canada, US and UK is only 5'9", so chin up~

That's awesome? Why are you telling us this again? Seems rather irrelevant to be honest.
