I’m 16 and I’ve been taking a medication that is basically concentrated Vitamin A for acne. I found out that it also causes puberty to stop. Well I have not gotten any taller since I started taking it and my penis hasn’t gotten any bigger either. Its about 5" right now but I wanna know if its done growing since I seem to have stopped puberty from this medication and what I can do about it.

P.S. medication is called Acutane if that helps any.

I am a 17 year old guy, going on 18 this fall and I am going to college. I am on the short end and stand around 5’5" – 5’6" tall. I hit puberty pretty early on and have a full on beard now and everything. My parents are pretty short, like around 5’4 and 5’2. Is there any hope for me? I’d love to find a way to grow taller if possible. Naturally.

I’ve looked through tons of of these "programs", GrowTaller4Idiots, Super-Growth, all of that, and I’m skeptical. Yahoo Answers is full of these spammers/advertisers that post the same answers to these generic questions over and over again trying to reel a sucker in. I’m not looking for those answers.

If there are legitimate exercises, foods I can eat, or anything that doesn’t cost money to maybe put in another 2-3 inches of height I’d love to hear it. If not, I guess I’ll have to live with what I’ve got. Thanks

i’m around 15~17 (dont wanna give off my real age) and i wanna grow to the fullest during my puberty. since summers coming around what are ways such as specific exercises and diet plans that will help me grow to the fullest?

Hi, I am 17 years of age, just turned that age a month ago, I am pretty short for a male and I’m very concerned about my height, I am 5"6 which i consider really short and everyone else seems taller then me in Canada. I wish to grow at least 2 more inches to be at average height for males and was wondering if I still have a chance to grow taller. I started taking height seriously when i realized all my friends were taller then me.So what I am doing is doing alot of exercises like stretching, taking whey protein shake, jumping and stretching more.

Is there a sign that I am still under puberty? you could say that I started quite early say when i was in grade 6 or 7 in middle school. I Still do have acne and still do get them, but not on my face area, but on my back, and a little bit on top of my forehead. I do shave and have pubic hair. Although my armpit hair is still un-even, such as my right armpit hair is longer and have more hair the my left armpit.
Also I didn’t experience any growth, not that i know of although i did grew couple more cm, during this year so Am i really doomed?

I am same height with my dad apparently, and my mom is shorter. but he is old now and I know old people decrease in height, but all i know is that my dad was about 5"7 or 5"8.

Do you guys think I still have a chance at height? Do you think I can grow taller then my dad’s max height? thanks

I just turned 13 and I akready have had hit puberty since I was 10. But my height is not growing, I even got my periods. Give me some suggestions. I’m 100% pure vegetarian. Thanks in advance.

Well, I am 13 years old and 5’1. I weigh 92 pounds…how do I get taller? I’ve already gone through puberty and all of that. I’ve been drinking a cold glass of milk every night and going to bed at 9:30-10PM. I went through puberty quite early–the middle of my fifth grade year. I know this is just another stereo type, but I’m asian and they say its harder to become taller when you’re asian? Anyway, I want to grow taller without wearing wedges or high heels…naturally without taking any prescription/medicine/acids or punctures. What do you suggest for someone my age to grow taller? I’m planning on playing more sports during the summer. I’ve never gone out of the house that much–my mom never has the time to take me and my dad isn’t well..in contact anymore. So I have NEVER been to any amusement parks–including Disneyland nor have I played many sports outside of my P.E. class. I’m signing up for badminton and it starts next week, but its only for 20 days. My mom is planning on signing me up on volleyball during the summer, but like I said only for a few weeks. I don’t really exercise…once I eat my belly is pretty full but when I sleep all that belly fat goes away in the morning (mostly). P.E. classes at school help too, since we run twice a week around a really big track. I want to get taller then my mom, who is 5’3 and 42. I want to be at least 5’5-5’7 by the time I get out of highschool. I want to be at least 5’2 or 5’3 in two years. Thanks

can say, a 13 year old girl has been through her growth spurt or after she has gone through puberty…can she grow even taller in the years to come? If so, how can she speed up her growing or make herself taller naturally? (things to eat, do, etc…)

Ok so here’s the thing. I am now 17 years old, I am a male and I am about 5’4 tall, my dad is 6’1 my brother is 20 and 6’0 my mom is 5’4 but her brother and dad were both over 6′. Basically I am kind of skinny but have some fat on me, I go to the gym now a lot and am building some muscle. I weigh about 120 pounds and I am just wondering what I can do to achieve the highest possible height and health I can get through any supplements and vitamins. What vitamins should I buy any multivitamins or anything. I also think I’m not well into puberty I have pubic hair but a relatively small penis.. So what can I do to promote my puberty and get bigger? PLEASE help I really appreciate it.

I am 15 years old and is about 245 pounds (though I don’ look like it). I am 5’7 and really want to reach 6’0-6’1. I am trying to grow taller so I figured that I should eat ALOT more vegetables and fruits. I am really worried though that my diet will affect my weight as people say that you should eat alot during your puberty years. But then again, I am overweight..so will going on a diet during puberty help me grow taller (under my conditions)?

I am 15.5
Male
Height: 5’9 or a bit taller
Height at age 11-12: 4 foot ten, 13 yrs: 5’4 14 yrs:5’6-5’7
Shoe size: 12 inches
Dad: 5’11…..almost 6 ft when he was at his peak(my dad has smaller shoes than I do)
Mom: 5’3

My dad has soso genes…..he was the tallest among his siblings but he had taller uncles and granddads

My mom has tall genes……
My cousins on her side (age 16-20) are almost all 5’11-6’1……..basically I just have two cousins on her side who went under 6 ft. Tall relatives and such

I’m kinda late in my puberty…I’m just starting to get body hairs…almost none at the moment..I don’t shave yet….I have like 3 hairs on each of my arm pit…but I have pubic hairs though….no acnes………minimal leg hair…no arm hair.

My brother though didn’t get pat 5’9..he remained the same height since he was 17…..he got very sick and almost died because of lung problems caused by drinking and smoking……I’m kinda taller than him now…….he’s 21 now.

So my questions are:

1.) Could I still grow?
2.) How much, on average, do 15 year old males grow in inches before stopping?
3.) What could be my predicted height?

I would like to grow a little bit taller. I’ve read that you can add a few inches by doing stretching exercises 30 minutes a day. But is it good to do those stretching exercises when ur still in puberty?
(14,15,16,.. years old).

Or is that kind of exercising bad because you stop growing after you grew a few inches by doing stretching exercises?

I am worried that I will not grow anymore because I used to be much taller than most of my friends but now it seems that they are taller than me or close. I am 15 years old and i am 5′ 11" but it doesn’t seem that I have hit a growth spurt yet because I did alot of my growing before I hit puberty. Is it possible that I will not hit a major growth spurt or that I will hit one later than most guys my age? Also, this probably sounds stupid, but is it possible to grow taller naturally by doing special stretching or eating healthier(im a very picky eater)?

tell me any other way you know whether it be spinal decompression, supplements, but not limb lengthing,anything but limb lengtening, im 13 and about to go into puberty and growing but i dont eat alot of good food and i take some vitamins

i’m 13 years old indian girl and i’m going to be 14 in august and gained puberty 10 months ago! and my speed of increasing height has decreased. i am really worried. i am 5’2 or 5’3 and i want to increase my height fast. and it’s true that increasing height stops at 14-16 if you are a female and you have gained puberty. i want to increase my height as soon as possible. i want to be 5’5. please help.please give me tips to increase my height.

Okay, I’m 13 years old. In the 7th grade. I am only 4’9. i hit puberty in 3rd grade, and had my period in 4th grade. I haven’t grown ANY in over a year, and a year ago I grew two inches in one month after going almost a year without growing.

I drink coffee which has a lot of caffeine in it.. (i think caffeine stunts your growth, right?) My mom is like 5’4 or something in that area and my dad is 5’7 or 5’6 or a few inches taller. Some people say that you don’t stop growing until you are like 21 but my mom quit growing for a while at 16 then grew another inch when she was 18 and thats it.

I’m italian…. =/ I think that matters kinda cuz a lot of people say that italians have a tendency to be pretty short..

I eat pretty healthily and get.. well, decent sleep. On week nights about 5-6 hours and on weekends and on holidays and stuff I get about 10-12 hours ( because school gets in the way XP )

I’m just worried cuz I haven’t been growing a lot and it bugs me.. I wanna be able to reach certain things! lol and one of my friends told me that you quit growing 3 years after puberty O.o I mean I know that isn’t right but it doesn’t make me feel any better… lol

another thing.. lol umm my mom said the shortest person in family history that she can remember was like 5’1. I have a feeling that I will be that short.. I just want to at least make it to about 5’3 if i can.

i know that it takes a while to grow and i’m young and stuff but, i think i need just a little.. boost. you know? just to help me out.!

Are there like supplements or something I can take (healthy ones, not dangerous ones. =P ) or maybe some herbal or aromatherepy stuff or something. [My mom used to give me some herbal oil and stuff sometimes to help me grow but it never works =/ ]

basically, just give me basic tips that could really help.. i’m desperate. lol
and btw if i didnt hit puberty in third grade then why did i start growing boobs? =P
