I am so nervous because my height is considered short. Everyone at my age seemed to reach at least 175cm tall.Please give me some advice Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
blue89 Posted July 9, 2016 Share Posted July 9, 2016 (edited) hi cute young :-) it is not important other's feelings on your appearanca at real. the most important thing is your health . it means ,if you do not have any complaint , it should not be problem. (note: my height is :170, weight is: ~ 60. in comparison with you,yes you seem a bit weak.) NOTE: I thought this forum is more about scientific conversations, then (I think) you had better go a doctor(to take assistance) rather than opening a thread there.) have a very healthy life Edited July 9, 2016 by blue89 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Please give me some advice Are you taller than your parents? I am 168 and one head taller than my mum & dad were. My daughter is one head taller than me. I think it goes from one generation to the other. If you are male, remember this: If you are a female I can't help you but I am pretty sure you will find advices so that you can feel yourself right.

dangkygamekhac Posted July 9, 2016 Author Share Posted July 9, 2016 I am sorry for being so rude. I saw a similiar topic in this forum so I decided to make one.And I have just noticed that this is the place to discuss about medical science, not the one to ask. Hope someone will move my topic to another more suitable placeSome people call me a optimistic person, so that's easy for me to accept my height.I am really thankful that all of your advices mean good for me. But I am always confused that my weight is just 47kg. Will I grow taller after i gain weight because I am already 18. That took me a lot of time to find out the answer, and I went to this forum.

Endy0816 Posted July 9, 2016 Share Posted July 9, 2016 (edited) You are slightly underweight, but not by much. No guarantee that gaining weight will increase your height. Edited July 9, 2016 by Endy0816 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
swansont Posted July 9, 2016 Share Posted July 9, 2016 I saw a similiar topic in this forum so I decided to make one. ! Moderator Note You might have noticed that similar topics get shut down. We don't dispense medical advice — this is not the right platform for that. Unfortunately you made this about medical advice, rather than a generic discussion about factors affecting height, so you are not permitted to re-introduce the subject.
