is 4'11 1/2 short for a just turned 12 year old boy over a month ago?
Answer:its okay... im 13 n just 5... i guess it can depend on ur parents heght... u knw my dad was 4'9 when he was 16 ! and now he is 5'11 ... see.. it is different times for people.. when their height increase
well no actually your just turning 12 and you just hit puberty
Don't worry about it. Your young and you have plenty of time to grow. Most guys don't reach their full height until they are in their early 20's. You might not be growing much now, but once you reach 15/16 you'll start getting taller.
Nope I would not consider that short because boys grow in height at all different ages! Also many boys do not have a growth spurt until much later, say, 14,15,16 even 18 or 19 for some. Each person is different, it is normal to be around 5 feet for a 12 year old boy and I wouldn't say that is "short" because many boys that age still haven't hit puberty.
No ,I also was short at 12, You will grow,I like being short.
chill,your still growing !
kids grow at different ages/rates. You probably didn't hit puberty yet but once you do you'll grow.
