I think something is wrong with me! I'm about 5 foot tall and I'm 15 years old, my dad is short and I drink coffee. Does coffee stunn your growth? I think I've hit puberty but not all the way! I'm 15 and it's a shame cause I haven't finished puberty, I got pubic hair and a little bit of hair under my arms and none on my face. I haven't had my first wet dream and I can't ejaculate. I don't know why this has to happen to me. I'm mad because I'm 15 and I'm more like 10 years old or at least as tall as a 10 year old!! I hate this and I hate my life because of this. I'm the shortest person in the 10th grade and I'm ashamed.:mad:

I started drinking coffe when I was 9 and I am the shortest person in my entire family. I believe that it did stunt my growth. Everyone develops differently, but I'd recommend stop drinking coffee until you're done puberty and maybe you will grow more. I wish someone told me to stop, maybe I'd be taller than 5'! Take it easy.

Hmm I'm guessing it's due to genetics. As you say your father is short.
But if you think coffee is a problem, don't drink it for a while and see how that works for you.
Hope that helped. :)

I doubt that coffee will affect your height, that probably has more to do with genetics. However, I would recommend that you go easy on it because of the caffeine. I found a few articles about the side effects of coffee. I'm not sure how accurate the info. Is , especially on the first website. If anyone knows if what they are saying is true or not, please tell me.

How much do you drink a day? A cup or so won't hurt you most likely. Just don't go overboard on it. ;)

You can have a medical check up to see if your height and weight it okay for your age. If not you might be able to have some growth hormones. Your doctor will be able to tell you how much more you can expect to grow until you are 18. Just let your doctor know that you are quite concerned that that it is a very serious enquiry.

Hello to all I'm here to say drinking coffee will not affect your height it's just puberty! Do not worry! Trust me I had this problem with my penis I thought it was small and my doctor said it's just fine!

I've seen a doctor about a ½ year ago and she said I'm fine but I'm in the range for 14 year olds but now I'm 15 and I don't know when I should see her again
