Why do my friends grow taller than me?
They could be eating healthier, sleeping earlier, or stretching more than you. It could be because they are having growth spurts and its not your turn yet ( but it will come ). It could ALSO be because their parents are taller and that passes on into them, so they would have turned out taller whatever you did…?
Why is everyone else taller than me?
Your genes , which you inherited from your parents, largely determine how tall you will end up being and how fast you’ll grow. Kids get taller more quickly during growth spurts, times when their bodies grow fast — as much as 4 inches or more in a year during puberty , for example!

Why don’t I grow as fast as my friends and peers?
Some teens develop a lot earlier than their friends (called precocious puberty), whereas others develop much later than other people of the same age (called delayed puberty). Kids and teens may not grow as fast as their peers for many reasons. If you’re short, you may just have familial (genetic) short stature.
Why am I no longer considered tall for my age?
If you were quite tall and looked older when younger and now they’ve all outgrown you and you’re no longer considered tall for your age, it’s very possible you had a Precocious Puberty (like I did; I was my current ‘adult’ height by age ten). This is when someone starts puberty earlier than average.
How can I increase my height in a week?
Once the growth plates in your bones become fused together, there’s no chance that you can increase your height. Get plenty of sleep. Your body releases HGH, which helps you grow, while you sleep. Get at least an hour of exercise a day.
