Hi, i have a question Im 13, and im only 4'10 Is there a problem with me or something. Or am I just not going to grow much till I get older. I only grow like an inch a year, or 2. In 6th grade I was shorter than all the others. Then I come back in 7th grade and everyones even taller (like everyone grew like 4 inches.)

Also my best friend grew like 6 inches in 7th grade so its really humiliating sometimes.

Is there like a disorder or something

P.S: My dads 6'1, and moms 5'8 I dont know why Im so short.

Can someone please help?

Theres no set time for growth. My friend turned 14 yesterday, and he's 4'10. A classmate in my 7th grade is like 4'6, shes 12 or 13. Im 13 and Im 5'6. Everyone grows at different times. Theres no disorder, you just have to wait to grow

as Camazotz says theres no set time for growth. I have a friend whos 15 and hes about a ft smaller than me and he is starting to grow slowly now.

but you will eventually start to grow faster and you will shoot up as some people call it. and its not a disorder just you it eventually happens so its normal :)
