- I want good news.
- I'm 15 and 4'10" 1/2, I know how you feel only I would LOVE to be your height! Don't worry about it if God allows you to grow taller, you will. As for the pants and hemming them, I started shopping at American Eagel because they have pants labled short, regular, or long, and I've never had to hem my pants since! Good Luck!
- I don't stop because I think it will help my growth?

- I'm 14 years old.
- I live with a family member who has about the exact same situation. she is 14 and 5'2 as well and also has an under active thyroid. her doctor said she will probably grow a couple more inches, after all, most people dont stop growing until they're in there early twenties. and maybe you should try shopping at old navy. they have "short" jeans that just might do the trick. anyhoo, try not to worry too much. for now, embrace your petite physique!
- Yea you still have time to grow. My dad was short and then had a random growth spurt when he was like 20...and now he's 6 "2"! And even if you don't grow, dont worry about it. Look at Eva Longoria...she's only 5 "1" and she's gorgeous!
- But this thyroid thing messed up my hormones and growth- I have an under active thyroid and I lack iodine.
- And I hate hemming my jeans a whole 2 inches all the time =[
- I am sorry to have to tell you this because I too am quite tiny even tinier then you. But pills often dont have effects on people. And no matter how much you exceirce and your diet it will not make you any taller. But dont be too out of luck it is said that some people continue to get taller or grow until there 22. If that makes you feel any better!
- My mother is my height and my father it 5'8 3/4.
- ull grow , my cousin was the same n last yr he grew so much.. bsides short girl is pretty cute.
- If you look at this chart (girls heights for different ages), you'll see that you are just about average height for a 14 year old. The average is 5 foot 3 inches and 50% of people are taller than this and 50% are shorter than this. At 5 foot 2 inches, the pills seem to be working fine.
The chart is an Adobe Acrobat .pdf file. You need the free adobe acrobat reader installed to see it.
Your growth seems to be on target, you're still growing and you have several more years to go.
- Shouldn't range between 5'5?
- When I was 11 and 10 I was one of the tallest in class.

- But now, I have been diagnosed with a thyroid condition- it also may stunt your growth.
- First, I am sorry for your condition, make sure you focus on being healthy first and not something as silly as height. You are only 14, you still may grow some, and if not, 5'2" is petite, doesn't that sound nice! If you do not grow, there are exercises, mainly yoga and pilates which will help you to stand taller, and they are both very good for you. Take it easy on yourself, remember, good things come in small packages!
- I've been taking the pills for about 2 years.
- I'm still young and maybe I hit my growth spirt already but I want to know if I will go like 5'4 or 5'5... that's my goal.
- im 17 and 5'0. I dont think I have your problem but your ok. people come in all shapes and sizes. I heard about this one girl who got metals in her legs and it made her a couple of inches taller. I guess u can do that or wait a couple of more years and u still might grow a little. good luck
- If I take my pills and exercise and eat and drink right at my age- will I grow tall?
- I know I know - don't believe everything they tell you.
- The doctor told me when I was little that I'd be 5'8 and now they seem to be wrong.
- Please give me positive feed back =[
