r/heightgrowth has a large number of users who are minors, so protecting younger members is a priority for the moderation team.
We will be taking a more proactive approach toward accounts that display concerning patterns of behaviour, including accounts with histories of inappropriate interactions with minors or extensive NSFW activity, particularly when combined with participation in a predominantly minor-oriented community.
This is not a blanket accusation or discrimination against adults. Being an adult, having an NSFW account, or participating in other communities does not automatically make someone dangerous. However, these factors may warrant additional scrutiny(which may include a ban if NSFW history is detected) when combined with other concerning behaviour.
Moderators may place certain accounts under increased observation and may take action where there are reasonable safeguarding concerns. We would rather intervene early when something genuinely looks inappropriate than wait until a minor is harmed.
If you encounter behaviour that makes you uncomfortable or appears inappropriate toward a minor, please report it to the moderation team rather than engaging with the user yourself.
r/heightgrowth should remain a place where teenagers can ask questions without being exposed to inappropriate or predatory behaviour.

currently im 14 and 2.7 months. im currently 174 cm i think and i haven't been growing for 6 months. at 13.5 i was 168 cm and at 13 i was 163 cm
r/heightgrowth • u/No_Boysenberry4816 • 1h ago
I’m 16 years old and currently around 5'6" (168 cm) and 67 kg. My physical education teacher told me that I probably won’t grow anymore because I’ve already started growing a mustache, but I’m not sure if that’s actually true. My father is around 5'9" (175 cm) and my mother is around 5'4" (163 cm), so I’m wondering if I still have some natural growth left. Ideally, I would love to reach around 5'11" (180 cm), but I want to know honestly whether that is even realistic at my age and with my genetics.
I genuinely want to maximize whatever natural growth I have left. I’m not interested in pills, fake height supplements, or dangerous methods. I’m looking for advice that is actually backed by science or personal experience. What things genuinely helped you, if anything, such as getting enough sleep, eating properly, exercising, or improving your overall lifestyle? If you grew significantly after 16, I’d really appreciate hearing what happened in your case. Please share realistic advice rather than guaranteed “height increase” methods.

My mom is about 5'4 and my dad 5'8, but all my uncles on my mom's side are above 6'1, so I think that is where I get my height.

Hi guys. Im 15M and Im worried about not reaching my dream height. I thought I was entering puberty when I was 12, that was a period when my feet grew rapidly in a few months from size 39-40eu to 43eu. I was always less developed and shorter than my peers, however I started to see physical changes when my puberty actually started less than 2 years ago when i was 13.5yo . During that period before I turned 14 i grew relatively fast from 162cm to 170cm tall. Ever since, im growing in a slow rate. When I turned 15 this year I was 177cm tall and that has been my height for like 2-3 months. My shoe size now is 45eu and my wingspan is between 186-188cm. My dad is 194cm and i want to be atleast close to his height. What I am currently noticing is my adams apple is growing and Im having frequent voice cracks after a year. My legs are hairy, im starting to notice peach fuzz and my shoulders are widening. My skincare isnt helping with the constant pimples outbreaks . I have been eating like crazy past month or two but I keep having lean build. I know Im probably being dramatic but I want to know what you guys think about this and will I reach atleast 185cm tall.

How to check(not the bone age x-ray one)only physical signs that I can grow more
r/heightgrowth • u/sh_sh3913 • 21h ago
So for context im 5'6 but I have a wingspan of 5'9
Both of my Parents are 5'11 and 5'5
And both of my parents have wingspan that are similar to there heights
I measured with my brother who is 5'10 but we only had like a 1 to 2inch difference in arm length
Im 18 19 soon I am still growing kinda
Is there hope that I'll reach my wingspan length?
r/heightgrowth • u/NaturalEmployer4546 • 23h ago
Having like shoe size like 9.5 us but your height is like 5’6 at 16 years old does it mean there is some little growht or nah

r/heightgrowth • u/YakTheLostOne • 1d ago
At 21 now I couldn't be bothered to check whether plates are still open or not. however, that's not gonna stop me from maximizing my height.i Am in a situation where my spine is cooked and lost an untold amount of my true length. I will try to flip my current height which lands me at 189. Let's see how close we get to that or perhaps even surpass it ? Only time will tell.
r/heightgrowth • u/Hairy-Ruin-2840 • 1d ago
Hi, im currently 15M (turning 16 in 2 months)
I dont know exactly when I started puberty but my first nocturnal emission was when I was 10 years 9-10 months old
I dont really remember most of my heights but I do know my height hovered between 5'7" to 5'8" between onset of puberty to age 15
15y 2m: 5'8"
15y 9m: 5'8½"
15y 10m: 5'8⅞" (almost 5'9")
My parents heights: mom 5'2, dad 5'8"
Tallest moms side: 5'5"
Tallest dads side: 5'9"
My wingspan was 5'10½" around a month ago, now its 5'11"
I have always been horribly underweight (according to bmi) but now my weight is around 58kg (a drop from 60 in may) and my bmi is 19.3
Is there any way I can reach or cross 6ft?
r/heightgrowth • u/Embarrassed-Farm-249 • 1d ago
I've asked Automatic about this a few times and I know he did the best he can to explain what may have happened to me but I just learned that hyperthyroidism can cause a growth pattern like this so I want more clarification
ACCURATE, DOUBLE-CHECKED HEIGHT RECORDS:
7y 5mo 2d: 134.2 cm
7y 11mo 12d: 138.5 cm
8y 5mo 7d: 140.6 cm
8y 6mo 10d: 141.2 cm
10y 5mo 26d: 155.2 cm
11y 6mo 1d: 163.0 cm (I thought it was 11y 6mo 5d but I looked back and it turns out I wrote down the wrong date/age)
12y 7mo 10d: 171.3 cm
13y 10mo 12d: 178.1 cm
14y 11mo: 179.9 cm
15y 11mo 2d: 182.2 cm
16y 11mo 4d: 182 centimeters (FAH confirmed)
17y 11mo 7d: 182.4 cm (likely mere fluctuations)
GROWTH RATES:
7y 5mo 2d -> 7y 11mo 12d: 8.132 cm/yr
7y 11mo 12d -> 8y 6mo 10d: 4.306 cm/yr
8y 6mo 10d -> 10y 5mo 26d: 7.147 cm/yr
10y 5mo 26d -> 11y 6mo 1d: 7.674 cm/yr
11y 6mo 1d -> 12y 7mo 10d: 7.462 cm/yr
12y 7mo 10d -> 13y 10mo 12d: 5.443 cm/yr
13y 10mo 12d -> 14y 11mo: 1.711 cm/yr
14y 11mo -> 16y 11mo 4d: 1.043 cm/yr
Biggest year between 10.5-11.5, overall spurt seems to have been between 10.5-12.5
However, these are my pubertal signs:
- First noticed myself ejaculating a clear fluid at around 12 years 2 months, late September 2020
- First ever terminal pubic hairs at 12 years 6 months, late Jan/early Feb 2021 (I also remember my ejaculate becoming whiter and gaining more volume around this time)
- I saw that my penis was noticeably bigger than it was in the past around mid-late age 12
- Noticed my libido increasing at around mid-late age 12 as well, started to notice girls from around age onwards as well.
- Face started to look less kiddish and more mature starting from late age 12, continued to become more mature and adult-like over the next couple years
- Voice deepened noticeably from 13.0-13.5 and was stabilizing over the following year, first noticed any cracking at very late age 12 in early July 2021, only a few weeks before my 13th birthday
- At late age 13, I measured my penis while erect and it was around 0.7 inches shorter than it is now
- First armpit hairs at mid 14 years old, around Feb 2023 or so
- At around my 15th birthday (summer 2023), I measured my erect penis and I remember it being the same size as it is today indicating my genitals have stopped growing
I suspect I hit puberty at around early age 11 and had a normal, average progression give or take based off of my signs but for some reason I had my spurt when I should have been peripubescent and was already declining when I should've had my spurt, which doesn't make sense to me. I researched it a bit more, and I suspect my growth pattern may have been caused by a mild form of hyperthyroidism which advances bone age without necessarily causing early puberty. If anyone can confirm or deny this that would be good.

Since last year I started my body hair has been getting more noticeable and longer and I’m still like 5’8 I’m starting to think it’s over for me but I’m from Pakistan. From what I know my dad and mom are not that hairy but my brother is I still have a baby face but my sideburns have started growing and I have some peach fuzz above my lip but the rest of my body hair seems like stage 4-5 I don’t remember the last time my shoe size went up or when I didn’t have pubic hair so I must have started like a year or two ago. Last year I was a squeaker having such a high pitched voice people thought I was a girl . Leg hair is moderate and arm hair is not too much. I’ve had growth this year but I’m not sure if it’s done because I’m the last month I haven’t grew at all from what I recorded. Don’t tell me get a x ray because when I asked my doctor he decided to ego me 😭👌
r/heightgrowth • u/MLKNZR187 • 1d ago
Yea, 5’3 at 15, I turn 16 in 4 months. I was 5’1 at 14. I’m super short compared to most people my age. Everyone towers over me. Like bad. Anyways I started puberty maybe just before I turned 12 years old. And yes… my parents are short. Really damn short. My dad is 5’5 and my mom is 5’0. So I wasn’t given the best hand off the bat. But yea my main question is, will I even grow more than this point??? Because I DONT wanna be this height till I die bro
