A member asked:
Is it possible to grow shorter at 16 yrs old for a girl? i have heard from people that tell me they grew 3cm shorter. is that possible?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Odd question: No you don't grow shorter, that is the opposite of growing.A medical condition where your spine begins to curve or compress would cause some loss of height, but that would be unhealthy.
