Right, Julian. We are all composed of the same things, but there are definitely unique differences between people! Not everyone grows at the same rate, so a growth spurt may be in your future! We're glad you're our Wonder Friend!! Daniel, there is a chance for you to have an increase in your height. I have lived in your shoes and know how it feels to be short. But I was lucky enough to find a Grow Taller guide that worked wonders for me.
You can download the guide online. It contains details of how you can go about to increase your height. I managed to increase 2 inches after I followed the guide.
It seems impossible to me at first sight but gradually it worked out for me. Especially the meal plan and stretching exercises were very helpful. We encourage you to talk with a doctor about this! You can also keep researching at the library and online!

Hello there, Emma! We aren't sure why girls usually begin puberty earlier than boys. Because girls begin earlier, they usually stop growing in their late teens while boys grow until their early 20s. There are many factors that influence what height we end up at, Jenna. Our unique and individual DNA plays a big role -- one person's DNA may say she is going to end up no more than about 5 feet, 4 inches, while another person's DNA may say he will top out at about 5 feet, 9 inches.
We also can't forget the important role that healthy eating, exercise and sleep play in growing to our maximum ability. That's right, Tridip! Right now you're taller than your friends, but it's possible that some friends may surpass you in height -- only time will tell!
