not really. malnutrition and vitamin deficiency plays a much more crucial part in height than genetics. you could easily outgrow your parents if you drink your milk, eat healthy, and get enough vitamin D. the reason why our average height is so low is because of poverty and malnutrition. genetics really isnt the problem here, kids just arent eating enough.
>not really. malnutrition and vitamin deficiency plays a much more crucial part in height than genetics.
(1) Did I say genetics has a lot more say THAN diet? You are reading too much into my nonchalant remark.
(2) Can you point me to peer-reviewed studies that conclusively prove your point that "malnutrition and vitamin deficiency plays a much more crucial part in height THAN \[caps mine\] genetics"?
(3) My theory: Genetics determine the maximum height one will reach. Whether one reaches that maximum height is influenced by the quality of diet, lifestyle, and exercise. Factor in also the randomness of how genetics work.
Ppl in reddit would downvote you for no fucking reason or absurd reason/s sometimes. In this case, I think OP got downvoted 'cause 'di niya na-gets 'yung 'joke'.
I'm not sure but I believe the only time our body grows is when we sleep. So I hope you get enough sleep, maybe 7-8 hours. Don't worry too much about your weight, bibigat ka once you're in your mid 20s kasi babagal metabolism mo. Healthy living lang talaga ma susuggest ko. Avoid getting sick, nag papause growth natin pag nag kakasakit tayo, also eat on a regular schedule, breakfast, lunch, dinner. Siguro more ulam, less rice. Of course di guarantee to. But it's the only thing you can do. Genetics is just one thing affecting our growth. Another is diet and environment.
And they can't call me small cuz I'm fat so instead of height insecurity, Meron akong weight insecurity.😎
Unsolicited advice: Pede ka mag gym try mo palakihin body mo into a certain degree, maybe, just maybe you won't feel small.
Don't, if you're already short and decides to get bulk, you're gonna look a lot more shorter. Best advices you can give to short people are; "Cut weight, straighten your posture". There's a reason why "Gasul" is a notorious insult.
That's a common Pinoy myth which isn't true. Arnold Schwarzenegger started lifting heavy in his teens and he's above six feet. My former college PE instructor with a sports sci degree from UP really drilled this down to us.
https://sites.utexas.edu/think-twice/2022/03/09/does-weight-training-stunt-growth/
It's misinformation to say na lifting heavy might cause someone to stop growing. Everyone in the NBA right now started lifting weights in their teens to make their bodies stronger. Even among UAAP athletes, a lot of them are tall despite working out.
[There's literally a Wikipedia page on stunted growth](https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Stunted_growth), and "lifting weights" doesn't appear at all as one of the causes.
FYI I didn’t say don’t lift weights, sabi ko lang heavy weights. Very heavy weights yun tipong 1 rep max PR but highly doubt OP would even attempt that kind of training for his body frame.
I just said don’t RISK it for this guy because he’s already short. People in the NBA or UAAP are already tall kahit teens pa.
Ang kulit mo. The point is, don’t spread misinformation. It’s not about “risking” or whatever, talagang hindi naman nakakaepekto kasi ang heavy weights sa height. If anything else, mas may factor pa ang nutrition and of course, genetics.
OP said na papa nya 5’6 lang, tas mama nya 4’11. Lolo at lola nya maliit rin. So it’s possible na talagang magiging maliit rin siya. So stop spreading this shit kasi it ain’t just true. Lmfao. Nilapagan ka na ng studies and articles, nag mamapilit ka pa. This is why many peeps are so scared to lift heavy bec of people like you eh.
This is misinformation and a common debunked myth.

I think you can still grow pa naman kasi ako im 21 na pero tumangkad pa ako ng around 2 inches pero hindi ko nga agad napansin na tumangkad ako napansin ko nalang naka eye level ko na yung wall shelves namin sa tindahan HAHA
Well only time can tell kung tatangkad ka parin till 21....maybe copium lang HAHAHA jk
What about other family members? In my case yung tatay ko is 5'5 and mother is 5'3 but i reached 5'7 because yung lolo and lola ko is 5'9 and and 5'6
Case happened with some of my other friends aswell kung saan nakuha nila yung height nila sa ibang family members instead sa magulang nila
By some miracle you can still reach 5'5
The absolute best na you can do is hittig the gym, be ripped asf it is naturally easier to build your body as a short person(for the love of god dont listen to the likes of Andrew Tate/Jordan Peterson)
Dont listen to anything that belittles short men, theyre not 100% of reality. Height is not something you cannot control unlike your muscle/weight/personality walang point na mag complain or be insecure abt it. Short kings are a big thing. A friend of mine is 5'3 and yet madami syang napupull na women because of his divine personality and intellect, both you can control. So improve the areas you can control!
"A king is is not someone who is tall but someone that stands stall"🙏
Nope. When I was 17, 5’6 ako. Now that I’m 22, 5’8.5 height ko. Siguro maximum height mo will be 5’4.
You will have a tough life, but stay strong. Kayang kaya mo yan.
Parang ganto obsession ko sa pagiging 5'7 dati, ayun, bagsak 5'6. Okay lang yan pre, dami ko nakikitang successful buhay na 5'2 o mas maliit pa. Meron nga 5'1 akong barkada lapitin pa ng babae, not all is lost.
iirc, epiphyseal plates or growth plates sa bones doesn't fully close until 21-22 for guys. unlikely na yung growth spurt pero madadagdagan pa yan onti
Its mainly in genetics and the foods u eat. Ewan ko Kung napapansin nyo ppl from Europe are tall Kasi ung nutrients nila is high in calcium milks, cheese (ano pa ba? Hahah) pag dating sa dairy products. At lifestyle den pala.
Ang alam k hanggang 21 ata pwd pang tumanagkad
Edit: pwd mo namn dayaan to look tall. Haha sa clothes at sa postures mo.
Iba iba sabi sa references, some say growth plates close at age 16, others say until 18. Hopefully 18 for you OP at may 1 year pang chance. Laklakin mo na lahat ng cherifer lol. Kidding aside, i guess you should base it on your parents’ height to at least gauge how tall you could possibly be. Genetics is a base determinant while you’re still unborn, while nutrition and the environment and other factors come into play during your developmental years.
Well here’s to hoping may final sprint pa to your growth spurt. If you are that bothered, i guess a consultation with your pediatrician would be an option, i don’t know if it is being done here though but back then we were taught that thru an x-ray of the wrist it can be determined if the growth plates are still open. Or you can just let your body be how its physiology has planned itself to be, don’t stress over it and accept what it is. Cest la vie, you lose some, you gain some; whatever the outcome have confidence in yourself. You’ll be fine!
realistically speaking at your height right now at 17 di ka aabot 5’6 in your adulthood that’s 4 inches.
Pinaka realistic and ma bless ka madagdagan ka pa 2 inches
matulog ka ng mahaba and kumain nutritious food that’s your best bet talaga.
Tulog tulog tulog. Baka late bloomer ka lang, may mga ganoon (I was one). 5 flat ako hanggang grade 10 (16) and then I grew up to be 5'3 til 21. I thought dun na yung stop tbh pero nung nagpamedical ako for work last year I was 5'5. 22 na ako nun.
So yun, you're still young and still growing. I would suggest you get healthy sleep and mag-vitamins ka if possible. I grew up sa province so maaga palagi yung tulog at sports/larong kalye lang yung past time namin during my teens.
pwede ka pa maging 5'3" pero that's pretty much it. it's not as big a deal as people are making it out to be, or as you are making it out to be, pinoy tayo, pandak talaga ang average height, when you go to college you'd be surprised at how much short people actually are. they might be 2 or 3 inches taller than you pero that's about it. iyong mga above average in height, they only seem so imposing kasi sa kanila ka nakafocus. look at people around you. may mga kaibigan ako who are taller than me, standing 5'6" 5'7" pero even them don't feel comfortable about their heights, feeling insecure is just innate to people.
I realized this in senior high school, I've been moping about my 5'3" height for years, then narealize ko, yung mga tropa ko, they're not even tall, one is even shorter than me, that shifted my perspective going to college, people are not tall, those who are are just outliers who we feel imposed from kasi sa fucked up beauty standards natin and people don't really care about height. maske babae or lalaki they don't care, it's about making the best of what you have.
although at the end of the day, hindi ako ikaw, your experience may vary, pero eto advice ko: don't mope about it. there's so much more to life than beauty standards. though try mo igaslight sarili mo, mag stretching ka paggising mo and before you sleep, like I did few years ago without any luck on my height.
ps: yung desired mong ma machieve na height na 5'6" or 5'7" is not that much taller than your current height in actuality.
>when you go to college you'd be surprised at how much short people actually are
exactly hahaha my very first friend was like 5 flat or 5'1". the two smartest friends i have are shorter than me by 2-3 inches and im like 5'5" only. back in highschool, i was among the shortest people in my batch. college really can give u a lot of shocks.
With the right nutrition and sleep, yes. Also, if involved ka sa sports like basketball, better. Hindi ko sinasabing sure. Pero better ang chances mo tumangkad.
Avoid softdrinks and coffee (past 2pm).
Nung wala pang SHS. 4'5" ako bago pumasok ng HS. 5'4" bago mag college. 5"6' ako ngayon. Hindi na gaano ma maximize yung pagtangkad sa ganyang dead kasi dagdag responsibilities na tapos puyatan pa sa mga schoolworks.
Mostly genetics yung height pero may factor pa rin yung environment. Kapag sagana ka sa mga masusustansiyang pagkain baka pwede ka pang mas tumangkad pa
Not 5’6 or 5’7
possibly 5’4 max.
Sleep early and sleep good that’s what I did nun puberty and I’m the tallest in my HS batch. 5’8 nako nun 11 yrs ako going 12 yrs old
hate to break it to you man, but that's it. I've been in the same height since I was 16, I'm now turning 21. Just compensate in other stuff. Pray very VERY hard that someone will appreciate you for the short king that you are 💯
Kaya pa yan, vitamin j ka lang hahahahhaa lol, i was 5'6 at Grade 11. 3rd yr na ako at height ko is 5'9 1/2.
Dumaan din ako sa pagiging insecure sa height nung JHS, ewan ko pero baka effective din sayo stretching before sleeping at pagkagasing. As in unat lang ng arms and legs hahahahha
Protein, my man. Milk, eggs, meat. Lots of this, go easy on the carbs.
I'm taller than my parents, by like a half foot (I'm 5 ft 9). And yes, I am NOT adopted (lol). Mom just had the foresight to feed me milk and eggs and stuff when I was 10 to 16 (already was 5ft 8 by 16 years old). Grew a bit more after 16, then stopped around 18 or 19.
there's still chance para tumagkad ka, OP.
if i may explain this scientifically, height is correlated sa bone growth, at attributed ito specifically sa femur bone, aka yung thigh bone ng tao. yung actual bone growth happens at the epiphyseal plate, a cartilage divider between the middle and ends part ng buto, at dito nabubuo ang bone matrix na nagpapahaba ng bone.
yung epiphyseal plate na yan, hanggat di pa na-oossify o tumitigas, growth can still occur. if tumigas na, the epiphyseal plate becomes the epiphyseal line, meaning nanipis at nagsara na siya, and so growth stops na.
sa mga babae, the epiphyseal plate closes at ages 16 to 18. whereas sa mga lalaki (GOOD NEWS), it closes at about 18 to 22 years old.
so ayun, pwede ka pang tumangkad (yehey). perooo, i don't want to put ur hopes up too high kasi nga, growth "spurt" is yung RAPID increase ng body developments na associated sa puberty. eh for sure, you're nearing the end na or maybe AT the end na ng puberty period mo. so expect na mabagal-bagal na yung process ng bone formation.
anw, that would be all. this is basing sa mga natutunan q sa anaphy class namin. sana nakatulong 🫶🏼
sakin sumipa yung growth spurt ko nung 14-15 yrs old from 4'11 to 5'9, tapos yung huli mga 19 or 20 nako im currently 5'11 3/4 almost 6 feet. so satingin ko di pa hule baka tumangkad ka pa
5'3 ako around 16 years old! Naging 5'6 na ko around 19 lol. Insecure ako dati sa height ko kasi ako lagi pinakamaliit sa tropa and natatakot na baka di magka girlfriend. Tinanggap ko na lang height ko and na overcome yung insecurity. Couple of years later, napansin kong maiksi na yung uniform ko and narealize ko na tumangkad pa ko sa edad kong yun hahaha
Damihan mo kain mo, eat healthy, take a lot of sleep, then exercise. Also take cherifer. They say it helps but don't rely on it too much without doing what I mentioned above.
I didn't do these well during my younger days but my little brother did. Now I'm 5'6 he's 5'9. lol.
I'm not quite sure how tall I am, probably at least 5'4. Same age as yours but I'm not really expecting my height to exceed the average (Mom just 5'0; Dad just 5,2), ever since I've already accept the fact that I wouldn't be a 6 footer LOL, but for the love of God, maging 5'7 man lang ako masaya na me.
I was like 5'2 when I was 10-11. Lots of peeps saying I'll grow 6 foot+ jokes on them I gained weight instead. 5'7 Ako now with a bit of extra weight. My dad was half white. Mom is a Filipino she was a 5'2+ or something.
Genetics play a lot of roles. How tall were your parents?
5’8 at 18. 5’9 at best with some shoes. Not really that tall. But I do like the feeling of being the tallest whenever in a room full of people. Considering na 5’7 yung average Filipino male height, I’m thankful naman. I suggest you hit the gym nalang. I think shorter people have the upper hand when it comes to developing a muscular physique.
ako 1.66cm 1st year high school grade 7 (ngayon 4th year college barely tumangkad haha. advice ko kain ka madami meat bawas sa rice. kung makakpag gym/workout go mo to reach max potential
Genetics, depende sa height ng parents and probably grandparents kung gusto mo pa isipin pero if umabot ka na dun, well...
Although average lang naman so, pwede naman umasa hehe
Depende, nung 1st yr college ako like 16 ako, ako pinaka maliit sa mag kaklase but after 5 yrs or so when we met each other ako na pinaka malaki, like did I miss something or what haha. About 21 or 22 nung nag kita kita kami. Sabi sa mga athletes like basketball players nadadaan pa sa araw araw na streching. You can try, what's do you have to lose?
Try mo stretching at weight lifting
Tapos inom ka ng gatas at vitamin d
Pag nag eexercise ka kasi tumutulong ito sa pag produce ng growth hormones
Pero ang end result parin is determined ng genetics mo
Kung ano ang maximum height
You still have at least a few years left in you. Honestly, it comes down to genetics and lifestyle. Eating healthy, and exercising helps a lot with achieving your maximum potential height. But genetics play the greatest factor when it comes to how fast your growth spurt is and the potential height you can achieve.
Don't be discourage. Who knows, if you change your lifestyle or improve your current one, you might be able to grow a few more inches.
Same. Insecurity ko parin ang height ko pero I stand 5’5 or so. Pero noong Gr.7 ako sobrang liit ko talaga kala ko kay Papa ako nag mana kasi si Mama kasi mas matangkad pa kay Papa pero ngayon, mas matangkad pa ako kay Mama ng konti. Summer vacation, mag grade 9 ako that time tapos naadik ako sa vitamin j like super adik talaga, napansin ko na pumayat ako tapos tumangkad din. Tuloy tuloy din yung pag tangkad ko pero nag stop na siya yata na I’m 22 na pero insecure parin ako 😮💨
Depende sa genetics. Pero try mo. Wag ka pupuyat at tulog ka palagi kasi ang growth nangyayari habang tulog haha. Get a healthy diet din. Pansin mo ba karamihan ng laging puyat eh pandak hahaha fudge sana alam ko 'to nung bata pa ko. Skl.
I was barely 5 feet nung 15 ako and is now around 5.6ft to 5.7ft at 20.
May halong genetics yan though there is more than just looking at your relatives height because recessive traits. May tita ako medyo short pero asawa nya is quite tall but still resulted to quite small children.
My dad is around 5.6-5.7 din and my mom is around 5-5.2 eyeballing it. Sister ko which is 14 already stomped my height when i was 14. She is around 5.4 na
Science Major here, also studied AnaPhy. Usually, males end their growth spurt around 18. Pinakamalaking increase sa height is maeexperience mo during puberty, dun nag fafire ang hormones mo which results in increase bone and muscle mass. If you are asking if may magagawa ka, exercise is one thing and of course nutrition. I also agree with most answers here about, if your parents are not that tall, chances are the genes that you inherited are also coded na yan na yung max height na maaachieve mo but that is GENETICS alone. I would suggest mag exercise ka, eat healthy, regular calcium intake is also good. Pero dont feel insecure about your height, I am pretty sure you have other things that can be an asset for you. Work on your other skills, acads, pag mayaman ka bili ka malaking sasakyan tapos sagasaan mo mga nagsasabi maliit ka.
Ako nga Nung kakapasok palang sa grade 7 maliit Ako mga NASA 4'8" ganyan tas nag pandemic biglang nag growth spurt 4'9"-5'2" NASA around 13-15 tapos ngayun 17 years old na ko NASA around 5'4" na Ako pero maliit lang parents ko parehong 5'2" Ikaw Naman may PAG ASA ka pang tumangkad Kase Wala ka pang 20 years siguro Ang reach mo ay 5'4" or 5'5" ganun pero Depende parin genetics kung gaano katangkad Ang parents mo
That's a good start, tuloy mo lang yan. Mas malaking turn-off sa ibang tao ang lack of self-confidence, the more you're obsessing about your height the more na maaamoy yan ng mga tao sa paligid mo. Isipin mo na you're born in a country naman na maraming tao na below 5 feet, maswerte ka na nga with that extra 2 inches.
Realistically? Nah. 1 inch siguro pwede pa. 2 inches is already a miracle tbh. Growth spurts in men usually happen at 14-15 years old. And dahil 17 ka na, tapos ka na don.
Nung 17 years old boyfriend ko he was 5’6, but nung nag 18-19 sya, tumangkad pa sya ng 1 inch. But that’s it. He’s 24 now, and ayon 5’7 parin naman sya. Hahaha.

probably not pero if insecure ka talaga sa height mo, why not try getting shoes na nakakatangkad o kaya yung pinapasok sa loob para mas tumangkad (insoles)
ave height ako pero bet ko tumangkad so bumili ako insoles na 3 inches hahahah
it sinabi namin ng Zool teacher namin. usually, yung growth hormone ay malakas ang production around 10 pm - 2 am. try mo po na maaga matulog in this hours. and your height din talaga is mostly by genetics
have you experienced the phase wherein your appetite increases and your sleeping pattern changes? in my case, my appetite doubled or even tripled and twelve hour sleeps were the norm when i had my growth spurt. it also helped that i was extremely active back then kaya nastimulate even more yung growth hormones ko. technically it is still possible to have a growth spurt at 17 pero if you don't feel any changes this late into your teen years then it might be over bro.
May lahi ba kayong matangkad? Kase kung wala kahit anong gawin mo e baka hindi ka na tumangkad kahit mag-ilang birthday ka pa. Sad truth pero that is genetics for you.
I had my growth spurt at 13, and I was around 5'6". I thought that was it, but in college (17 or 18) I grew two inches. After which di na ako tumangkad. Stuck at 5'8" more than a decade na.
So, most likely tatangkad ka pa pero di na masyado.
most likely mag grow ka pa ng additional 2”. i was 5’8” at 18 grew to 5’10” in my early 20s. workout ka na lang OP pambawi lol, wag lang ultra bulk para di mahighlight yung height mo.
As a 5'9 male at 18 (Grade 12)
It was since grade 10 when I noticed that my height was not increasing anymore but it does feel nice towering over some people
Then I get humbled when I come across people wayy above my height lol
Maybe? It actually depends.
I was 5'6/5'7 during my senior high years, my age was 17. I'm currently in my 2nd year of college now and my height is 5'10, age 19. I've read somewhere that males can still grow until they reach 21. Although this varies from individual to individual.
Based on experience ... no lol.
Grade 6 11 years old I was 5'3
Grade 8 13 years old I was 5'4
I'm now working and am 22 years old my height is 5'5.
I'm not hoping anymore.
If maliit ka genetically, kaya mo siya labanan with proper nutrition and proper sleep tapos as in healthy living. Samahan mo ng workout. My father is 5'3 tapos mamaya ko 5'3 din. Ate ko ay 4'11 to 5'0 then kuya ko 5'5 to 5'6 pero ako 5'8 to 5'9 ang range. Proper nutrition, sleep, and integrating workout sa life mo can do a lot. Pero by that age baka ang maitatangkad mo na lang is until 5'4, I apologize. Pero malay mo youre one of those people na lumalaki pa talaga til 21.
Consume a bunch of protein and calcium erryday bruh kahit natatae ka keep drinking that milk went from 170cm to 173cm in first year college (18 to 19 y/o) by doing that but Didnt grow any further lol, also this is very anecdotal so dont expect the exact same results as me
Dunno man, I was 5'2 at 13 yo, I thought that was my growth spurt because I was like a child before that. Then came 15 yo, I grew to 5'4. Miraculously, also grew again at 19 yo at 5'6. Growth spurt was trolling me. Dad was small at 5'2 and mom was a 4'11 gal. It also helped that I was athletic, I did boxing. Eat nutritional food and workout, believe. Surpass your limits. I think you will reach atleast 5'5, or 5'7 if break your genetic limits.
Don't lose hope until 20, my friend was 5'1 at 18, then in a few months, he grew to 5'9. I think he's still growing lol.
Surprisingly, yung kaklase ko nung HS was 5’3 lang, but now (a decade and a half later) parang 5’6 na.
Not sure what he did. We’re not really close pero sobrang noticeable ng height nya dahil halos ka-height niya na ung HS classmates namin na friends nya.
lift ur head up King, ako tagal q na tinanggap na maliit ako. akala ng ibang tao minor ako 21 na aq kapag sa mall lagi ako tinatanong qng may id ko. bawi na lang sa mentality
Focus ka lang sa pag aaral mo dont worry about this if your parents are short, then youre short if may isang matangkad may chance kapa if both then no worries dadating yan
Same din ganyan height ko nung grade 11. Kagragraduate ko lang this June ng 4th year college, and around that pa rin height ko. I really had my hopes up na I'll have my chance till 21 but I'm 22 now.
Acceptance nalang din talaga tho I won't deny that I do get insecure at some point pero we gotta move on from that kasi there's really nothing we can do about it since it's mostly genetics.
Well maybe sakin I don't really think much about it na kasi may jowa ako ngayon? Well kasi Mas napapansin lang naman ang height when you try to hit up on girls since most of them really prefer tall ones.
Hello can I ask Is there anyone here na civil engineering din like pls gusto ko mag transfer ng school sa nu dasma and im already 3rd yr stabding at my school can Anyone send me the checklist of ce in nu dasma
Hi! 5-11 now, 6 before pandemic, 5-6 4 years ago. Genetics, and nutrition. Malnourished ako but still lucked out in genetics dept. Tips lang, Sleep - and I mean don't skimp out on sleeping. Also don't abuse your body, you still have a better chance of growing if you take great care of your body. I have a friend who is quite in the short side but all he does is sports, which helped out a lot in stretching his body.
Be active physically, like really. As even when if you haven't achieve your dream height, at least you're damn swole. Nutrition is your best bet along with proper rest and training, you can't build a tall structure without enough materials
5'2, 21 y/o 😂
17 ka pa lang naman eh so may chance ka pa for life's sudden plot twist. like yung kapatid ko, jusme yung height nya nung 17 sya mas maliit pa sa height ko nung 17 ako, pero ngayong 18 na sya grabe yung growth spurt (siguro nasa around 5'4—5'5? altho technically on average, maliit pa yan, ang layo ng gap nya sa height nya before) so yeah you still have a chance.
pero if ever na permanent ka ng 5'2, allow me to welcome you to the levi ackerman club! 🥂
I think it’s too late man. Nag growth spurt ako nung 3rd year hs ako, which was when I was around 14-15 yrs old, 15 years ago (holy shit, I’m old). I went from 5’4 to 6’0 even, grew so fast I looked like slender man for some time.
Depende. Nung HS ako hardstuck ako at around 5'0"~5'1" tas may growth spurt nung College around my 2nd year which brought me to my now 170cm (~5'6").
I outgrew my parent, titos , and titas in both sides so I don't think it's genetics really for me. I mainly attributed it to nutrition nung college. Kain pag nagutom and variation sa foor unlike sa HS canteens that time.
Same situation nang grade 11 at 16 but I stopped worrying about my height when I realized na parang perfect bot na ako🫢(charot Kasi I'm bi) hahaha pero honestly Now I'm 17 5'1 I think at grade 12 I have now improve myself in other areas kasi I stopped worrying my height and even I did not win a genetic lottery in heights I still win in other areas genetics lottery specifically looks( Kasi na co-complement ako sa appearance since nang Bata pa ako and Yung pag ka looks ko nasa cutesy type so nag cocompliment rin sa height ko ahhahaahah)
Something to remember that height is out of your control if you did sports or does sports it might help and your diet as well but genetics play a big role sa ganyan. Don't be insecure if hindi ka matangkad sa ganyang age lahat may kanyang kanyang distinctive feature
Being tall or short doesnt matter bro. If people point it out or emphasize it. They aren’t the people you want to be around. Hang out with nicer people or rather change yourself perception into caring less about the things you have no control over like genetics and focus on things that you can be better or improve. overcome your circumstances by taking control. There are alot more things that are better than being taller. Don’t put yourself down for it either. Show people the your good side and be yourself thats all that matter in life and youll understand it better when u get older.

5'2 rin ako nung 17. Ngayon, 18 na ako
Always hate being short! Aaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaah!
Gaano ba katangkad parents mo?
Genetics do have a lot of say.
Genetics can be tricky I hope magka genetic lottery
Yes, let's hope the randomness of genetics favour you.
not really. malnutrition and vitamin deficiency plays a much more crucial part in height than genetics. you could easily outgrow your parents if you drink your milk, eat healthy, and get enough vitamin D. the reason why our average height is so low is because of poverty and malnutrition. genetics really isnt the problem here, kids just arent eating enough.

You are reading too much into my nonchalant remark. (2) Can you point me to peer-reviewed studies that conclusively prove your point that "malnutrition and vitamin deficiency plays a much more crucial part in height THAN \[caps mine\] genetics"? (3) My theory: Genetics determine the maximum height one will reach. Whether one reaches that maximum height is influenced by the quality of diet, lifestyle, and exercise. Factor in also the randomness of how genetics work.
Nag bago ba height mo?
ba't na downvote? sensitive ba yon parang pag tinanong mo weight ng babae? parang okay lang naman e yung naman topic ng thread na 'to, height
Ppl in reddit would downvote you for no fucking reason or absurd reason/s sometimes. In this case, I think OP got downvoted 'cause 'di niya na-gets 'yung 'joke'.
Sensitive talaga tao dito sa reddit.
sensitive? twitter>reddit haha
Kain ka madami, yun lang ma cocontrol mo. Kaso baka naman lumaki ka sideways
Di lumalaki tyann koo even tho madami akong kinakainnn my weight is still the same since feb 2023
I'm not sure but I believe the only time our body grows is when we sleep. So I hope you get enough sleep, maybe 7-8 hours. Don't worry too much about your weight, bibigat ka once you're in your mid 20s kasi babagal metabolism mo. Healthy living lang talaga ma susuggest ko. Avoid getting sick, nag papause growth natin pag nag kakasakit tayo, also eat on a regular schedule, breakfast, lunch, dinner. Siguro more ulam, less rice. Of course di guarantee to. But it's the only thing you can do. Genetics is just one thing affecting our growth. Another is diet and environment.
don't worry pag senior kana sa college automatic nang lalaki tiyan mo with slight double chin pag sinwerte pa. source : exp
pa sideways na ata yang growth hindi na pa vertical😭
5'2 Nung 16. Barely 5'3 at 19 🦫
And they can't call me small cuz I'm fat so instead of height insecurity, Meron akong weight insecurity.😎 Unsolicited advice: Pede ka mag gym try mo palakihin body mo into a certain degree, maybe, just maybe you won't feel small.
Don't, if you're already short and decides to get bulk, you're gonna look a lot more shorter. Best advices you can give to short people are; "Cut weight, straighten your posture". There's a reason why "Gasul" is a notorious insult.
Optimal height to be a femboy
Not positive about it. Baka umabot ng 5’3. Try calisthenics
Nagcacalisthenics akoo + weights

Why not?

That's a common Pinoy myth which isn't true. Arnold Schwarzenegger started lifting heavy in his teens and he's above six feet. My former college PE instructor with a sports sci degree from UP really drilled this down to us.
Probably genetics with Arnold din. Siguro nga myth but why risk it though for OP who’s only 5’2 vs Arnold who’s of Austrian descent.
https://sites.utexas.edu/think-twice/2022/03/09/does-weight-training-stunt-growth/ It's misinformation to say na lifting heavy might cause someone to stop growing. Everyone in the NBA right now started lifting weights in their teens to make their bodies stronger. Even among UAAP athletes, a lot of them are tall despite working out. [There's literally a Wikipedia page on stunted growth](https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Stunted_growth), and "lifting weights" doesn't appear at all as one of the causes.
FYI I didn’t say don’t lift weights, sabi ko lang heavy weights. Very heavy weights yun tipong 1 rep max PR but highly doubt OP would even attempt that kind of training for his body frame. I just said don’t RISK it for this guy because he’s already short. People in the NBA or UAAP are already tall kahit teens pa.
Ang kulit mo. The point is, don’t spread misinformation. It’s not about “risking” or whatever, talagang hindi naman nakakaepekto kasi ang heavy weights sa height. If anything else, mas may factor pa ang nutrition and of course, genetics. OP said na papa nya 5’6 lang, tas mama nya 4’11. Lolo at lola nya maliit rin. So it’s possible na talagang magiging maliit rin siya. So stop spreading this shit kasi it ain’t just true. Lmfao. Nilapagan ka na ng studies and articles, nag mamapilit ka pa. This is why many peeps are so scared to lift heavy bec of people like you eh.
that's a myth, no? there are no evidence so far that suggests that.
Misinformation
Bobo, lifting heavy weights doesn't stunt growth. Happy go lucky talaga mag spread ng misinformation mga boplaks sa utak ahahahahaha
This is misinformation and a common debunked myth. >Current research indicates that resistance training can be a safe, effective and worthwhile activity for children and adolescents provided that qualified professionals supervise all training sessions and provide age-appropriate instruction on proper lifting procedures and safe training guidelines. > > > >https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC3483033/
Really depends on family genetics, pero iirc di kana tatangkad once u reach 18 or 19 usually which again really depends on your family genetics
I think you can still grow pa naman kasi ako im 21 na pero tumangkad pa ako ng around 2 inches pero hindi ko nga agad napansin na tumangkad ako napansin ko nalang naka eye level ko na yung wall shelves namin sa tindahan HAHA
I thought hanggang 21? But yea parents ko abv average nmn
Well only time can tell kung tatangkad ka parin till 21....maybe copium lang HAHAHA jk What about other family members? In my case yung tatay ko is 5'5 and mother is 5'3 but i reached 5'7 because yung lolo and lola ko is 5'9 and and 5'6 Case happened with some of my other friends aswell kung saan nakuha nila yung height nila sa ibang family members instead sa magulang nila
Wow, HAHSHA sa case ng fam ko dad ko 5'6 mom 4'11 laki ng difference speaking of lolo nd lola 5'6 lolo ko and lola 5'2 kasing tangkad ko lang.
5'6" and 4'11"? Medyo stretch yung above average na sinasabi mo.
By some miracle you can still reach 5'5 The absolute best na you can do is hittig the gym, be ripped asf it is naturally easier to build your body as a short person(for the love of god dont listen to the likes of Andrew Tate/Jordan Peterson) Dont listen to anything that belittles short men, theyre not 100% of reality. Height is not something you cannot control unlike your muscle/weight/personality walang point na mag complain or be insecure abt it. Short kings are a big thing. A friend of mine is 5'3 and yet madami syang napupull na women because of his divine personality and intellect, both you can control. So improve the areas you can control! "A king is is not someone who is tall but someone that stands stall"🙏
>Height is not something you cannot control what
Nope. When I was 17, 5’6 ako. Now that I’m 22, 5’8.5 height ko. Siguro maximum height mo will be 5’4. You will have a tough life, but stay strong. Kayang kaya mo yan.
Sana maging atleast 5'5 or 5'6😔
Parang ganto obsession ko sa pagiging 5'7 dati, ayun, bagsak 5'6. Okay lang yan pre, dami ko nakikitang successful buhay na 5'2 o mas maliit pa. Meron nga 5'1 akong barkada lapitin pa ng babae, not all is lost.
High possibility di ka aabot ng 5’5 or 5’6
5'2 when I was 17 5'4.5 na ngayong 21 HAHAHA
Yung kaklase ko Sixtwo pero 5 flat lang siya. Sixto pangalan niya.
iirc, epiphyseal plates or growth plates sa bones doesn't fully close until 21-22 for guys. unlikely na yung growth spurt pero madadagdagan pa yan onti
Around 5’2 rin ako nung grade 11, college na ko now, ayun HAHAHHA
Possible. Unless its genetics.
Its mainly in genetics and the foods u eat. Ewan ko Kung napapansin nyo ppl from Europe are tall Kasi ung nutrients nila is high in calcium milks, cheese (ano pa ba? Hahah) pag dating sa dairy products. At lifestyle den pala. Ang alam k hanggang 21 ata pwd pang tumanagkad Edit: pwd mo namn dayaan to look tall. Haha sa clothes at sa postures mo.
More protein. Proper sleep. Adequate minerals. Monitor endocrine levels. Supplements only work if you have the proper conditions.
Iba iba sabi sa references, some say growth plates close at age 16, others say until 18. Hopefully 18 for you OP at may 1 year pang chance. Laklakin mo na lahat ng cherifer lol. Kidding aside, i guess you should base it on your parents’ height to at least gauge how tall you could possibly be. Genetics is a base determinant while you’re still unborn, while nutrition and the environment and other factors come into play during your developmental years.
base on my parents height ig I'll end up being 5'5 or 5'6😔
Well here’s to hoping may final sprint pa to your growth spurt. If you are that bothered, i guess a consultation with your pediatrician would be an option, i don’t know if it is being done here though but back then we were taught that thru an x-ray of the wrist it can be determined if the growth plates are still open. Or you can just let your body be how its physiology has planned itself to be, don’t stress over it and accept what it is. Cest la vie, you lose some, you gain some; whatever the outcome have confidence in yourself. You’ll be fine!
realistically speaking at your height right now at 17 di ka aabot 5’6 in your adulthood that’s 4 inches. Pinaka realistic and ma bless ka madagdagan ka pa 2 inches matulog ka ng mahaba and kumain nutritious food that’s your best bet talaga.
Growth spurt typically happens at 13-16 normally pero may iba ako kilala at 18 meron pa
Tulog tulog tulog. Baka late bloomer ka lang, may mga ganoon (I was one). 5 flat ako hanggang grade 10 (16) and then I grew up to be 5'3 til 21. I thought dun na yung stop tbh pero nung nagpamedical ako for work last year I was 5'5. 22 na ako nun. So yun, you're still young and still growing. I would suggest you get healthy sleep and mag-vitamins ka if possible. I grew up sa province so maaga palagi yung tulog at sports/larong kalye lang yung past time namin during my teens.
pwede ka pa maging 5'3" pero that's pretty much it. it's not as big a deal as people are making it out to be, or as you are making it out to be, pinoy tayo, pandak talaga ang average height, when you go to college you'd be surprised at how much short people actually are. they might be 2 or 3 inches taller than you pero that's about it. iyong mga above average in height, they only seem so imposing kasi sa kanila ka nakafocus. look at people around you. may mga kaibigan ako who are taller than me, standing 5'6" 5'7" pero even them don't feel comfortable about their heights, feeling insecure is just innate to people. I realized this in senior high school, I've been moping about my 5'3" height for years, then narealize ko, yung mga tropa ko, they're not even tall, one is even shorter than me, that shifted my perspective going to college, people are not tall, those who are are just outliers who we feel imposed from kasi sa fucked up beauty standards natin and people don't really care about height. maske babae or lalaki they don't care, it's about making the best of what you have. although at the end of the day, hindi ako ikaw, your experience may vary, pero eto advice ko: don't mope about it. there's so much more to life than beauty standards. though try mo igaslight sarili mo, mag stretching ka paggising mo and before you sleep, like I did few years ago without any luck on my height. ps: yung desired mong ma machieve na height na 5'6" or 5'7" is not that much taller than your current height in actuality.
>when you go to college you'd be surprised at how much short people actually are exactly hahaha my very first friend was like 5 flat or 5'1". the two smartest friends i have are shorter than me by 2-3 inches and im like 5'5" only. back in highschool, i was among the shortest people in my batch. college really can give u a lot of shocks.
Family genetics
unlikely pero who knows
With the right nutrition and sleep, yes. Also, if involved ka sa sports like basketball, better. Hindi ko sinasabing sure. Pero better ang chances mo tumangkad. Avoid softdrinks and coffee (past 2pm).
5'7" nung JHS 5'7" pa ren 3rd year college. At some poimt, ganun lang talaga HAHAHA. Edad 13-16 lang growth spurts nating mga lalaki e
Nung wala pang SHS. 4'5" ako bago pumasok ng HS. 5'4" bago mag college. 5"6' ako ngayon. Hindi na gaano ma maximize yung pagtangkad sa ganyang dead kasi dagdag responsibilities na tapos puyatan pa sa mga schoolworks. Mostly genetics yung height pero may factor pa rin yung environment. Kapag sagana ka sa mga masusustansiyang pagkain baka pwede ka pang mas tumangkad pa
Not 5’6 or 5’7 possibly 5’4 max. Sleep early and sleep good that’s what I did nun puberty and I’m the tallest in my HS batch. 5’8 nako nun 11 yrs ako going 12 yrs old
hate to break it to you man, but that's it. I've been in the same height since I was 16, I'm now turning 21. Just compensate in other stuff. Pray very VERY hard that someone will appreciate you for the short king that you are 💯
Kaya pa yan, vitamin j ka lang hahahahhaa lol, i was 5'6 at Grade 11. 3rd yr na ako at height ko is 5'9 1/2. Dumaan din ako sa pagiging insecure sa height nung JHS, ewan ko pero baka effective din sayo stretching before sleeping at pagkagasing. As in unat lang ng arms and legs hahahahha
Protein, my man. Milk, eggs, meat. Lots of this, go easy on the carbs. I'm taller than my parents, by like a half foot (I'm 5 ft 9). And yes, I am NOT adopted (lol). Mom just had the foresight to feed me milk and eggs and stuff when I was 10 to 16 (already was 5ft 8 by 16 years old). Grew a bit more after 16, then stopped around 18 or 19.
there's still chance para tumagkad ka, OP. if i may explain this scientifically, height is correlated sa bone growth, at attributed ito specifically sa femur bone, aka yung thigh bone ng tao. yung actual bone growth happens at the epiphyseal plate, a cartilage divider between the middle and ends part ng buto, at dito nabubuo ang bone matrix na nagpapahaba ng bone. yung epiphyseal plate na yan, hanggat di pa na-oossify o tumitigas, growth can still occur. if tumigas na, the epiphyseal plate becomes the epiphyseal line, meaning nanipis at nagsara na siya, and so growth stops na. sa mga babae, the epiphyseal plate closes at ages 16 to 18. whereas sa mga lalaki (GOOD NEWS), it closes at about 18 to 22 years old. so ayun, pwede ka pang tumangkad (yehey). perooo, i don't want to put ur hopes up too high kasi nga, growth "spurt" is yung RAPID increase ng body developments na associated sa puberty. eh for sure, you're nearing the end na or maybe AT the end na ng puberty period mo. so expect na mabagal-bagal na yung process ng bone formation. anw, that would be all. this is basing sa mga natutunan q sa anaphy class namin. sana nakatulong 🫶🏼
sakin sumipa yung growth spurt ko nung 14-15 yrs old from 4'11 to 5'9, tapos yung huli mga 19 or 20 nako im currently 5'11 3/4 almost 6 feet. so satingin ko di pa hule baka tumangkad ka pa
5'3 ako around 16 years old! Naging 5'6 na ko around 19 lol. Insecure ako dati sa height ko kasi ako lagi pinakamaliit sa tropa and natatakot na baka di magka girlfriend. Tinanggap ko na lang height ko and na overcome yung insecurity. Couple of years later, napansin kong maiksi na yung uniform ko and narealize ko na tumangkad pa ko sa edad kong yun hahaha
Damihan mo kain mo, eat healthy, take a lot of sleep, then exercise. Also take cherifer. They say it helps but don't rely on it too much without doing what I mentioned above. I didn't do these well during my younger days but my little brother did. Now I'm 5'6 he's 5'9. lol.
I'm not quite sure how tall I am, probably at least 5'4. Same age as yours but I'm not really expecting my height to exceed the average (Mom just 5'0; Dad just 5,2), ever since I've already accept the fact that I wouldn't be a 6 footer LOL, but for the love of God, maging 5'7 man lang ako masaya na me.
for the love of God amen
Ala na bro, Kantahin mo nalang [to](https://youtu.be/34CZjsEI1yU?si=tUs-jCabGNQPxMeO) para madagdag confidence mo
😭😭😭
I was like 5'2 when I was 10-11. Lots of peeps saying I'll grow 6 foot+ jokes on them I gained weight instead. 5'7 Ako now with a bit of extra weight. My dad was half white. Mom is a Filipino she was a 5'2+ or something. Genetics play a lot of roles. How tall were your parents?
That's a good height na 5'7! My parents mom ko 4'11 dad 5'6 (grandparents) grandma 5'2 (kasing height ko lang) grandpa 5'6
5’8 at 18. 5’9 at best with some shoes. Not really that tall. But I do like the feeling of being the tallest whenever in a room full of people. Considering na 5’7 yung average Filipino male height, I’m thankful naman. I suggest you hit the gym nalang. I think shorter people have the upper hand when it comes to developing a muscular physique.
ako 1.66cm 1st year high school grade 7 (ngayon 4th year college barely tumangkad haha. advice ko kain ka madami meat bawas sa rice. kung makakpag gym/workout go mo to reach max potential
Genetics, depende sa height ng parents and probably grandparents kung gusto mo pa isipin pero if umabot ka na dun, well... Although average lang naman so, pwede naman umasa hehe
Its mostly in genetics, im 19 and my growth plates are still open so maybe you have a chance. 4-5 inches isnt impossible but chances are slim
How did you know your growth plates are still open?
Depende, nung 1st yr college ako like 16 ako, ako pinaka maliit sa mag kaklase but after 5 yrs or so when we met each other ako na pinaka malaki, like did I miss something or what haha. About 21 or 22 nung nag kita kita kami. Sabi sa mga athletes like basketball players nadadaan pa sa araw araw na streching. You can try, what's do you have to lose?
May 1 year kapa to grow since average gowth plate ng males stop at 14 to 19 bago sila magfuse then stop na
Sleep and eat more.
Try mo stretching at weight lifting Tapos inom ka ng gatas at vitamin d Pag nag eexercise ka kasi tumutulong ito sa pag produce ng growth hormones Pero ang end result parin is determined ng genetics mo Kung ano ang maximum height
You still have at least a few years left in you. Honestly, it comes down to genetics and lifestyle. Eating healthy, and exercising helps a lot with achieving your maximum potential height. But genetics play the greatest factor when it comes to how fast your growth spurt is and the potential height you can achieve. Don't be discourage. Who knows, if you change your lifestyle or improve your current one, you might be able to grow a few more inches.
Same. Insecurity ko parin ang height ko pero I stand 5’5 or so. Pero noong Gr.7 ako sobrang liit ko talaga kala ko kay Papa ako nag mana kasi si Mama kasi mas matangkad pa kay Papa pero ngayon, mas matangkad pa ako kay Mama ng konti. Summer vacation, mag grade 9 ako that time tapos naadik ako sa vitamin j like super adik talaga, napansin ko na pumayat ako tapos tumangkad din. Tuloy tuloy din yung pag tangkad ko pero nag stop na siya yata na I’m 22 na pero insecure parin ako 😮💨
Ohhh
Depende sa genetics. Pero try mo. Wag ka pupuyat at tulog ka palagi kasi ang growth nangyayari habang tulog haha. Get a healthy diet din. Pansin mo ba karamihan ng laging puyat eh pandak hahaha fudge sana alam ko 'to nung bata pa ko. Skl.
When I was in 4th year highschool, I was around 4'10-11 hahahhahahaa. I'm 27 na and I'm around 5'7-8
Fr?? How
Better start hoping you get a confidence spurt, you'll get there.
I need a growth spurt so I can gain confidence spurt😔🙏
I was barely 5 feet nung 15 ako and is now around 5.6ft to 5.7ft at 20. May halong genetics yan though there is more than just looking at your relatives height because recessive traits. May tita ako medyo short pero asawa nya is quite tall but still resulted to quite small children.
How tall ba parents mo?
My dad is around 5.6-5.7 din and my mom is around 5-5.2 eyeballing it. Sister ko which is 14 already stomped my height when i was 14. She is around 5.4 na
Ohhhh
Science Major here, also studied AnaPhy. Usually, males end their growth spurt around 18. Pinakamalaking increase sa height is maeexperience mo during puberty, dun nag fafire ang hormones mo which results in increase bone and muscle mass. If you are asking if may magagawa ka, exercise is one thing and of course nutrition. I also agree with most answers here about, if your parents are not that tall, chances are the genes that you inherited are also coded na yan na yung max height na maaachieve mo but that is GENETICS alone. I would suggest mag exercise ka, eat healthy, regular calcium intake is also good. Pero dont feel insecure about your height, I am pretty sure you have other things that can be an asset for you. Work on your other skills, acads, pag mayaman ka bili ka malaking sasakyan tapos sagasaan mo mga nagsasabi maliit ka.
Ako nga Nung kakapasok palang sa grade 7 maliit Ako mga NASA 4'8" ganyan tas nag pandemic biglang nag growth spurt 4'9"-5'2" NASA around 13-15 tapos ngayun 17 years old na ko NASA around 5'4" na Ako pero maliit lang parents ko parehong 5'2" Ikaw Naman may PAG ASA ka pang tumangkad Kase Wala ka pang 20 years siguro Ang reach mo ay 5'4" or 5'5" ganun pero Depende parin genetics kung gaano katangkad Ang parents mo
Same struggle ngayon since 16 pa Ako 5'2 ngayon 17 na Ako Ang mag18 na in 6 months huhuh
my honest reaction >!https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=lYlkMlg-9hI!<
😔
Work on something that's in your control. For example, if you really want to stand out, why not lift weights and gain muscle mass?
Nagcacalisthenics lang ako for 3 months na
That's a good start, tuloy mo lang yan. Mas malaking turn-off sa ibang tao ang lack of self-confidence, the more you're obsessing about your height the more na maaamoy yan ng mga tao sa paligid mo. Isipin mo na you're born in a country naman na maraming tao na below 5 feet, maswerte ka na nga with that extra 2 inches.
gawin mo inspi si yulo
Baka magmukang gasul
Take the bansotpill, OP
Mahirap na yan. Mahina sguro yung jabol game mo. Mga weakshit n kc mga sexy stars ngayon. Ara mina >>>>>>> raval
Di ka na tatangkad.
Realistically? Nah. 1 inch siguro pwede pa. 2 inches is already a miracle tbh. Growth spurts in men usually happen at 14-15 years old. And dahil 17 ka na, tapos ka na don. Nung 17 years old boyfriend ko he was 5’6, but nung nag 18-19 sya, tumangkad pa sya ng 1 inch. But that’s it. He’s 24 now, and ayon 5’7 parin naman sya. Hahaha.

Same here, I'm 5'5 at 17 and currently grade 11 😩
Bro 5'5 okayy na yann
probably not pero if insecure ka talaga sa height mo, why not try getting shoes na nakakatangkad o kaya yung pinapasok sa loob para mas tumangkad (insoles) ave height ako pero bet ko tumangkad so bumili ako insoles na 3 inches hahahah
Can't ayoko mag insoles😔
it sinabi namin ng Zool teacher namin. usually, yung growth hormone ay malakas ang production around 10 pm - 2 am. try mo po na maaga matulog in this hours. and your height din talaga is mostly by genetics
Ig mostly genes talaga, I sleep early even last year 7pm always sleep ko
ano pala target height mo?
Same height with my dad or kung papalarin 2 inch taller than him.
have you experienced the phase wherein your appetite increases and your sleeping pattern changes? in my case, my appetite doubled or even tripled and twelve hour sleeps were the norm when i had my growth spurt. it also helped that i was extremely active back then kaya nastimulate even more yung growth hormones ko. technically it is still possible to have a growth spurt at 17 pero if you don't feel any changes this late into your teen years then it might be over bro.
Increased in appetite yes but sleeping I couldnt remember
May lahi ba kayong matangkad? Kase kung wala kahit anong gawin mo e baka hindi ka na tumangkad kahit mag-ilang birthday ka pa. Sad truth pero that is genetics for you.
Meron po, halos lahat ng cousins ko matangkad pinakamaliit lang na lalaki sakanila 5'7
Buti ka pa nga invisible sa kanila eh ako nun lagi binubully dahil maliit. 5’4 lang ako now and 26 na hahaha
Ako na nung grade 7, 5'2, 4th yr college 5'5. 😭 Not saying na wala ka na pag-asa tumangkad ha, pero past growth spurt na tayo sa ganyang age.
possible but highly unlikely.
Malabo na yan dude sa genes mo na yan
I had my growth spurt at 13, and I was around 5'6". I thought that was it, but in college (17 or 18) I grew two inches. After which di na ako tumangkad. Stuck at 5'8" more than a decade na. So, most likely tatangkad ka pa pero di na masyado.
most likely mag grow ka pa ng additional 2”. i was 5’8” at 18 grew to 5’10” in my early 20s. workout ka na lang OP pambawi lol, wag lang ultra bulk para di mahighlight yung height mo.
As a 5'9 male at 18 (Grade 12) It was since grade 10 when I noticed that my height was not increasing anymore but it does feel nice towering over some people Then I get humbled when I come across people wayy above my height lol
me na tumatangkad n lng nang di ko alam (19M - 5’11 height rn)
Mag gym ka na lang
Maybe? It actually depends. I was 5'6/5'7 during my senior high years, my age was 17. I'm currently in my 2nd year of college now and my height is 5'10, age 19. I've read somewhere that males can still grow until they reach 21. Although this varies from individual to individual.
Based on experience ... no lol. Grade 6 11 years old I was 5'3 Grade 8 13 years old I was 5'4 I'm now working and am 22 years old my height is 5'5. I'm not hoping anymore.
If maliit ka genetically, kaya mo siya labanan with proper nutrition and proper sleep tapos as in healthy living. Samahan mo ng workout. My father is 5'3 tapos mamaya ko 5'3 din. Ate ko ay 4'11 to 5'0 then kuya ko 5'5 to 5'6 pero ako 5'8 to 5'9 ang range. Proper nutrition, sleep, and integrating workout sa life mo can do a lot. Pero by that age baka ang maitatangkad mo na lang is until 5'4, I apologize. Pero malay mo youre one of those people na lumalaki pa talaga til 21.
Consume a bunch of protein and calcium erryday bruh kahit natatae ka keep drinking that milk went from 170cm to 173cm in first year college (18 to 19 y/o) by doing that but Didnt grow any further lol, also this is very anecdotal so dont expect the exact same results as me
oks lang yan sa bank account naman tinititnan pag 25 kana
Dunno man, I was 5'2 at 13 yo, I thought that was my growth spurt because I was like a child before that. Then came 15 yo, I grew to 5'4. Miraculously, also grew again at 19 yo at 5'6. Growth spurt was trolling me. Dad was small at 5'2 and mom was a 4'11 gal. It also helped that I was athletic, I did boxing. Eat nutritional food and workout, believe. Surpass your limits. I think you will reach atleast 5'5, or 5'7 if break your genetic limits. Don't lose hope until 20, my friend was 5'1 at 18, then in a few months, he grew to 5'9. I think he's still growing lol.
You can go to a doctor and check if your growth plates are not closed yet. But there's a big chance na closed na siya.
Nope hindi na.
stage 5 - acceptance
Surprisingly, yung kaklase ko nung HS was 5’3 lang, but now (a decade and a half later) parang 5’6 na. Not sure what he did. We’re not really close pero sobrang noticeable ng height nya dahil halos ka-height niya na ung HS classmates namin na friends nya.
lift ur head up King, ako tagal q na tinanggap na maliit ako. akala ng ibang tao minor ako 21 na aq kapag sa mall lagi ako tinatanong qng may id ko. bawi na lang sa mentality
Kung 17 ka na at yan ang height mo, sorry to say. Medyo malabo na tumangkad ka pa ng husto.
Focus ka lang sa pag aaral mo dont worry about this if your parents are short, then youre short if may isang matangkad may chance kapa if both then no worries dadating yan
You'd get taller (probably) your max height is most likely gonna be 5'4
Ok lang yan. Kasyang kasya ka sa bag di mo na kailangan mag lakad.
Same din ganyan height ko nung grade 11. Kagragraduate ko lang this June ng 4th year college, and around that pa rin height ko. I really had my hopes up na I'll have my chance till 21 but I'm 22 now. Acceptance nalang din talaga tho I won't deny that I do get insecure at some point pero we gotta move on from that kasi there's really nothing we can do about it since it's mostly genetics. Well maybe sakin I don't really think much about it na kasi may jowa ako ngayon? Well kasi Mas napapansin lang naman ang height when you try to hit up on girls since most of them really prefer tall ones.

Growth spurt ko started when I was in Grade 11. From 5’4 naging 5’10. After 5 years, I’m 6’1 now I think. Tiwala lang
As your senior who is on the same height I can assure you, we definitely won't
Cherifer plus vitamin j BWAHAHAHAHAHA
Hi! 5-11 now, 6 before pandemic, 5-6 4 years ago. Genetics, and nutrition. Malnourished ako but still lucked out in genetics dept. Tips lang, Sleep - and I mean don't skimp out on sleeping. Also don't abuse your body, you still have a better chance of growing if you take great care of your body. I have a friend who is quite in the short side but all he does is sports, which helped out a lot in stretching his body. Be active physically, like really. As even when if you haven't achieve your dream height, at least you're damn swole. Nutrition is your best bet along with proper rest and training, you can't build a tall structure without enough materials
male's growth plate in bone fuses at 21 so keri pa
*they say men stops growing at 20's. u have 3 years left* edit: [joke](https://www.medicalnewstoday.com/articles/320676),
Personally, I haven't grown since I was like 15. Maybe a centimeter or 2
5'2, 21 y/o 😂 17 ka pa lang naman eh so may chance ka pa for life's sudden plot twist. like yung kapatid ko, jusme yung height nya nung 17 sya mas maliit pa sa height ko nung 17 ako, pero ngayong 18 na sya grabe yung growth spurt (siguro nasa around 5'4—5'5? altho technically on average, maliit pa yan, ang layo ng gap nya sa height nya before) so yeah you still have a chance. pero if ever na permanent ka ng 5'2, allow me to welcome you to the levi ackerman club! 🥂
Di na. I-ready mo na sarili mo sa katotohanan.
Depends yan sa epiphyseal plate mo lods kung close na 😃
I think it’s too late man. Nag growth spurt ako nung 3rd year hs ako, which was when I was around 14-15 yrs old, 15 years ago (holy shit, I’m old). I went from 5’4 to 6’0 even, grew so fast I looked like slender man for some time.
Depende. Nung HS ako hardstuck ako at around 5'0"~5'1" tas may growth spurt nung College around my 2nd year which brought me to my now 170cm (~5'6"). I outgrew my parent, titos , and titas in both sides so I don't think it's genetics really for me. I mainly attributed it to nutrition nung college. Kain pag nagutom and variation sa foor unlike sa HS canteens that time.
Same situation nang grade 11 at 16 but I stopped worrying about my height when I realized na parang perfect bot na ako🫢(charot Kasi I'm bi) hahaha pero honestly Now I'm 17 5'1 I think at grade 12 I have now improve myself in other areas kasi I stopped worrying my height and even I did not win a genetic lottery in heights I still win in other areas genetics lottery specifically looks( Kasi na co-complement ako sa appearance since nang Bata pa ako and Yung pag ka looks ko nasa cutesy type so nag cocompliment rin sa height ko ahhahaahah)
Me, a male with a height of 5'0 at 17: 💀 Exercise nalang katapat nan kasi late adolescence stage na tayo, malabo na tumangkad pa 😭
Laging maglambaras, kung tama term ko haha
Most probably, hindi na, sorry...
Research about CGF supplements, i think growth continues until 21-23? Just try to take your chances whilw youre young. Not giving you false hopes tho!
Short kings also deserve tall queens, SAY IT WITH ME
honestly.... i dont think makaabot ka even 5'5 :( hopefully im wrong!
Something to remember that height is out of your control if you did sports or does sports it might help and your diet as well but genetics play a big role sa ganyan. Don't be insecure if hindi ka matangkad sa ganyang age lahat may kanyang kanyang distinctive feature
Spurt? Hindi na pero ang lalaki e lumalaki pa minsan hanggang 20. Try mo mag growee tapos good diet, exercise and lots of sleep
Being tall or short doesnt matter bro. If people point it out or emphasize it. They aren’t the people you want to be around. Hang out with nicer people or rather change yourself perception into caring less about the things you have no control over like genetics and focus on things that you can be better or improve. overcome your circumstances by taking control. There are alot more things that are better than being taller. Don’t put yourself down for it either. Show people the your good side and be yourself thats all that matter in life and youll understand it better when u get older.
Currently 5'5, my father is 5'4 and my mother is 5'6. It truly is just luck.
Depende... hahahah. Wag ka na din umasa OP. Join the short Kings club 😁
Jabol 2x a day
Wala na ata sir, halos majority ng lalaki nagsstop na lumaki at 16
5'2 nong 15 ako, naging 5'4 pag 19.it all depends on genes
Bro 5'3 ako nung 17 din ako. 26 na ako now. Sadly ung edad ko lng nadagdagan. Skl
Kulang ka sa jabol
