    Will I get any taller? I'm afraid I'm done growing! I'm almost 17, and about 97-100lb
    I'm 16 and will be 17 in December, and I was 5'4 about a two years ago, but I measured my height today and it said I was only 5'3.5! I really do NOT want to be short all my life. My dad is 5'11 and he supposedly has his growth spurts late. I read online that by 16-17 most guys have reached their adult height. I'm only about 97-100 lbs. I don't eat too much, but I take an adult complete multi vitiman every day. I ALWAYS eat breakfast and dinner, but I sometimes skip lunch. I drink milk, and I eat foods with calcium. Why aren't I growing?

    Height and growing patterns are hereditary. Are you asking about your height, your weight, both?
