What to do if i'm 17 yrs old and my height and weight are 2nd percentile, does not it mean i have growth stunt ?

Many factors: Male / female? If have started menses in females? Height and growth curve of parents... Point is, these factors and others may contribute. Your pediatrician should be able to help and maybe an endocrinologist eval.
