Being dehydrated for 1 day will not stunt your growth. But, you should aim to keep yourself hydrated since prolonged dehydration can affect other organs like the kidney, heart, skin, etc. Increase your fluid intake if you are exercising or in a warmer climate. Best of luck to you!

Dehydration for one day will not stunt your growth. For healthy diet: http://www.choosemyplate.gov/., exercise 30 minutes/day, drink enough water daily so your urine is mostly colorless, have safe sex, no tobacco alcohol weed or street drugs. Get HPV, Flu and Covid vaccines. Wish you good health!
