Question 4

i've stopped growing since14.i was exactly 170cm, 2 years on, i am still 170cm. i have noticed others have longer spines and i have back pains, links?

Accepted Answer

Not really: Growth usually stops somewhere between 14 and 16 for both boys and girls.  It has a lot to do with hormones and how they stimulate bone.  If you are concerned then an x-ray could give your bone age and determine if they're done growing or not.  See your dr for this evaluation.

End of puberty: Normally you will stop growing in height when you have completed puberty.

Question 6

how to determine if i have stopped growing?

Accepted Answer

X-rays: Have an x-ray taken to see if the growth plates are still open or if they are closed.  If open, you still have a chance for growth... If closed, you are done growing.

Question 7

how to check whether growing has stopped or not?

Accepted Answer

Do annual check-up: Kids from age 2 to 18 should have annual check-ups. The doctor records annual weight and height increases. To see if growth has stopped, a teen can return for his annual check-up. The doctor can show the teen the growth chart for the past 3 or more years. If the last 2-3 years have the same height, then height growth has stopped. If still gaining a little bit each year, one MAY grow a bit more.

Quiet possible.: The breasts enlarge naturally with weight gain, puberty, pregnancy and breast-feeding.
