Hey there, I am 16 and I have questions about my height.?

First of all not sleeping 8 hours didn't make any damage at all, it only gave you nothing good towards the grouth question.

Second, eat vegetables and drink glass of milk every day. Milk has vitamins that are good for bones.

Third, exercises. Do pull ups, or just hang on a bar every day. This will strech your body. Another great thing is basketball. Play with friends or Dad or alone. It's all about jumping and all that.

And remember, growing is not done in one night, but if you don't smoke, you should be growing until 21.

There is no battling genetics bro. I also have vitamin D deficiency my whole teen years and I'm 6'0. My dad is 6'1 and my mother is 5'2 so you may have got the in between gene having both short parents.

However yes there are things that can help. You need to sleep a full 8 hours, take multi-vitamins and eat healthy and eat some sort of dairy or drink a cup or two of milk once a day if you can. by the time you stop growing around 17-20 you'll probably be your dads height of 5'8. But you won't be getting any taller most likely. But unfortunately for you you are very close to being at the age of no-growth.

Sorry about being short though. Not to make you feel more insecure but most women don't like short dudes.

that's the same what had happened to me.when i was 16 i was 5'6" and now i'm 20 i'm still 5'6".i tried everything yoga,nutrition drink,stretches for about two years and nothing happened.so i don't think u have much opportunity to change it.concentrate on other staffs cause i have wasted 2 years of my life resulting in nothing.
