how do i figure out how tall a teen will be? is there an online calculator or app?

Question

Are online BMI calculators accurate or is one website more accurate than others?

Answer 1

Height estimation: http://www.calculator.net/height-calculator.html.

Answer 2

Simple math: Take the average parent height and add 2.5 inches for a male, subtract 2.5 inches for female. This is usually good within an inch. Variations do occur.

Answer 3

Teen smoking: Teen smoking is the gateway to other drugs/alcohol. Talk with her to discuss the pros and cons of smoking cigarette, and how to quit. Changing behavior is not easy, but is certainly doable.

Answer 4

Smoking tobacco: Education is of prime importance. Discussing the negative effects of smoking on the lungs, heart, circulation, etc and the inherent fact of addiction and its difficult cure should be attained. As a role model, any close family member should not be smokers as well. Association with non-smoking friends should be stressed.

Answer 5

No: Like anything else, it depends on multiple factors. "abusing drugs, " in this context, implies a "drug problem." drug use, in and of itself, is not a problem. Like "hearing voices, " in and of itself, is not a problem. Psychiatric problems are a problem when they...Well...Become a problem. You can "hear voices" all day long. But, if they are nice and helpful, is that so bad?

Answer 6

Not a tight one: High-performing students sometimes feel under so much pressure that they turn to drugs to "relax"; low-performing students may use them because "no one cares." casual use of drugs doesn't necessary cause problems, but it is quite rare for students who begin using drugs heavily to be able to maintain a high academic performance.

Answer 7

Expense, death: About 50% of teen smokers will continue to smoke as adults. About 1 in 3 adult smokers will die as direct result of their smoking; many others will have significant health problems. Smoking sickens you and the people around you. Cigarettes are expensive and make you stink and die young with crinkly ugly leathery skin. Enough?

Answer 8

Smoking: I can't think of a single positive one. If you do not smoke do not start.If you do quit.

Answer 9

Teen smoking: Susceptibility to respiratory tract infection, precursor to other habits, bad smell, compromising immune system, all but a few of the many negative effects of nicotine.

Answer 10

Be patient: The timing of menses involves a complex interplay of the hormones that grow you taller, and those that prepair your female organs for life after puberty. Being first or last at anything at your age is stressful, but understand that you will stop growing taller soon after starting. Most only grow 2 inches more. Chances are your genes will make you grow taller & you will start when your body says so.

Answer 11

Started : what?

Answer 12

Mononucleosis: You are probably referring to "mononucleosis" or the "kissing disease". This is an infectious disease common among youth & teenagers caused by a particular virus call the epstein-barr virus. It causes painful swelling of the lymphoid tissue in the back of the throat, "white spots" over the tonsils & throat, swollen glands usually in the back of the neck, fever, tiredness & sometimes a rash.

Answer 13

Mono: Mono (or mononucleosis) is sometimes called "the kissing disease." you can't get it from just sitting next to someone but you can get it from sharing spit. Like sharing the same fork/spoon, drinks, lip balm and .... Yes, kissing too.
