A member asked:
I feel underdeveloped and the doctors say i'm normal, i have body parts that still aren't mature, can i still grow at 23 yo?

Unlikely: Your body has matured and is normal, and your doctors have confirmed that . Your growth in height, and body parts are complete, and your growth in girth may continue depending upon your lifestyle. So, eat properly, get enough sleep, and exercise regularly. Later as one ages, the height tends to shorten.
