It's normal to feel confused about growth during puberty. Since you're 14 and already taller than your father, your height can still increase as puberty continues into late teens. The slow growth of armpit and facial hair is also normal. For personalized advice, I recommend visiting an endocrinologist, who specializes in growth and puberty-related issues.

Being 160 cm is regular for lots of people. But if it concerns you, we can discuss it. Your height may contribute if you have physical troubles like backaches or joint issues. Remember, genes greatly influence how tall we grow. Eating nutritious foods, exercising regularly, and sleeping enough can help maximize your height potential. Seeing a doctor for a check-up can provide more clarity if you're worried.

It's completely normal for people to be shorter or taller than their parents. Several things, including genetics and nutrition, can affect how tall someone is. Eat well, sleep enough, and keep moving. Unfortunately, there's no quick fix, but looking after yourself may help you achieve your maximum potential height.

Beginning 16 years old and 5.1 inches high, it's a common desire to want to grow more. It is mostly an inherited trait to a large extent, and therefore you don't require any special drugs to fix the problem of short height. Having a balanced diet, getting enough sleep, and exercising regularly can support growth. To repeat, one needs to remember that adolescents grow at different rates.

Worrying about your height at 20 is normal. If you feel shorter than friends, here are the facts: Genes mainly determine height. But poor diet, lack of sleep, or health issues can also affect it. You might notice others being taller, making you self-conscious. Eating nutritious food, getting enough rest, and exercising can help maximize height potential.
