I did a height check today. And I'm exactly the same height as I was 3 months ago. That's right, I've stopped growing. I'm 16 years old and I've stopped growing. I now stand at 5 feet and 4.25 inches tall :p

The worst part is that two of my friends at school were the same height as me when they first came to the school. Ie: they were 5'4 at 11 years old.

I'm not that concerned about my height to be honest. I see the funny side, and there's also plenty of girls within reach ;)

Oh and before any of you lot say it, here's the obligatory:

Worst "OMG I'm really short" thread ever

Go on, take your shots :D

Doesn't mean to say you've stopped growing, it means you've not grown over the past 3 months.

You still have the capacity to grow up till the age of 21 for most men.
 
Time for a new wardrobe me thinks.

You laugh now but your bitterness will grow and you'll be afflicted with Short Man Syndrome, where you will get a red face and become inexplicably bitter about the world that dealt you such a cruel hand. You will start to rage out at the slightest sleight or provocation, before one day your pent-up anger will explode resulting in you committing a horrific and violent crime and going out Moat-style to the sound of gunshots and police sirens echoing in your ears.

Unlucky.

I'm pretty sure I already had my growth spurt. For a long time most of the girls were a good few inches taller than me. Then after a summer holiday a couple of years ago, I was the same height as most of them.

You will still grow. Make sure you get plenty of exercise and try not to wear tight clothing as it reduces blood flow and growth or something like that.
 
You can't tell whether or not you've stopped growing from measurements, since growth spurts can be erratic. You'll keep growing until your epiphysis have fused (i.e. no more growth plate in the bone).
 
So you havent grown in 3 months and you assume you've stopped growing? :confused:

I barely grew an inch between the ages of 13-16 then shot up by about a foot.
