Why are they growing taller faster than me?

Question

Ok so before summer like 3 months before summer started, I noticed I was about to get taller and faster than my friends. Then I was thinking that after summer when I see my friends, I should've taller than them but then I noticed, they were like hell a lot taller than before. Why are they getting taller faster than me? :(
Even my crush is now growing taller faster than me which saddens me. Are there periods where I grow taller slower and periods where I grow taller faster?

I'm 14, male. Please help me.

Thanks.

Answer 1

Perhaps they are early bloomers and you are a late bloomer.



To grow taller plenty of protein, calcium, vitamin D and zinc all help.



To reach your potential height you need adequate sleep (from 8-10 hours per night), adequate calories and a normal healthy diet.



Plenty of protein from eggs, meat, poultry, sea food and dairy products helps as well as calcium from milk, cheese and other dairy products. You also need plenty of zinc from red meat, oysters, mussels, nuts and seeds and zinc fortified cereals such as Weetbix. Vitamin D3 via the Sun also helps.



Most girls usually stop growing at 15 and in most cases any further height growth from 15-21 is insignificant but there are exceptions such as late bloomers.



Most guys usually stop growing at 18 and in most cases any further height growth from 18-25 is insignificant but there are exceptions such as late bloomers.



Under eating and under sleeping can, to some extent, stunt your height growth. Exercise does not help your height growth and smoking can actually reduce your potential height by a whole inch.

It's different for everybody. I'm assuming your crush is female. Obviously women go through puberty before men, which is probably why she is taller than you. When I was 14, I was taller than most guys in my school. But by the time I was 16, I was probably at the bottom half of the guys in my school in terms of height. I'm 19 now, and I'm still growing but at a very slow pace. The point is that you'll still grow taller until your mid-20s, so don't worry about it. In case you are drinking coffee, you should stop because coffee stunts your growth.

>>>* Hey What's up Man, my friends call me Skippy. I know RIGHT where you are now, as I was once there, and I can tell you first hand that it is ABSOLUTELY possible to grow in height after you thought you were done growing forever. Perhaps my own story could be of some help to you...



My family has been in the aviation business since the 1960's. There has been pilots, engineers, baggers, stewards, and of course stewardesses. I never really had much of an interest in piloting or working as an engineer, but I LOVE the sky, and being on airplanes. I had already traveled to 12 different countries by the age of 21. So for me, being a Steward(flight attendant) was always my dream job. The only problem, however, is that there are height requirements for safety reasons. As I was exceptionally short in height- my college degree, and qualified resume meant nothing. I was denied my first job as a flight attendant because I was about 2 inches short of their requirements. This absolutely devastated me. I thought my dream had gone out the window. I was also embarrassed, it was sort of like not being able to get on a ride at an amusement park because I was too small. Which has actually happened to me, btw. Lol. But this was worse, this was my dream career, and future at stake.



At this point, I began scowering the web for help. First I tried seeing if there was a way, some way, to get around the height requirement mandated by airliners. The answer was a big fat NO. Once I had determined there was no way around it, I started feeling hopeless, and desperate. THAT'S when I started looking into the seemingly ridiculous idea that you could continue growing, even after you were finished with puberty. So, after hours and hours of research, reading countless reviews and testimonials, I did come across one website - http://www.growtall.pcti-system.com .. A natural height-growth program that caught my eye. Setting my inherent skepticism aside for a moment, I signed up for the site. Now, fast forward a few months after learning and utilizing all the material and support in the program, I actually grew 3 INCHES! That's no lie. Dead serious. I have since re-applied for the job I would have otherwise gotten if I had met the height requirement. They don't even believe me, lol! They have not set me up for another interview, but that's Ok. If not them, I will have my dream job soon with another airliner as this time I won't have to worry about coming up short. No pun intended! lol.



Anyways, I hope my story was of some help to you, and I wish you the best!

Answer 5

It happens. You'll come back after a summer and be a lot taller

Answer 6

I actually used the program that "Skippy" person speaks of. It really does work. That same website, http://www.growtall.pcti-system.com .. I played basketball in college, and I used that to gain a couple in height. A total of 2.5 inches. After that, it seemed to plateau though. I could not gain any more than 2 1/2, no matter how hard I tried. But those inches really gave me an advantage in my games. Well worth it.
