I'm 15(gonna be 16 in 3 months) and i'm only 5"4. And i weight 140 pounds. For the past 2 years, i haven't grown an inch. I don't play any sports and not doing any outside activity. All i do in free time is research and study......(sry i feel like a nerd). And btw, i'm Asian(if that makes any difference in judging whether i'm a normal kid and still growing taller)


I just checked my BMI, it's 24.0 and the reference said it is normal weight.

well, as for your height, it's an ok height. I'm 5'3" and going to be 16 quite soon, so it's not unheard of. It's a bit short, but you still have a whileleft to grow. Normall you will end up somwhere in your parents' range of height.

Now, not doing any physical activity is bad. You need something to do so that you don't sit around accumulating fat, because that will end badly. You should check your BMI (There's a sticky in the eating disorders forum) and see if you're at a healthy weight right now, but you really should do something physical more often.
