my guy friend thinks he's freakishly short for his age.

i told him he just hasn't had his growth spurt yet.

curious.

how tall were you at 13?

Answer:

5'5" I grew 5+ inches my freshman year. was 6'1" at 22. There are tables with this kind of information. If his parents aren't really short, perhaps if he actually is abnormally short he should see a doctor about HGH. (My freshman year I got involved in exercise and sports and I think that added hormones to my growth spurt).

Height is different for everyone! Tell him not to worry, he's perfectly normal

---

I am 14 at 5'2 probably 5'0 at 13!

---

5'6

---

5"11' :) Im 15 and 6"2' right now

---

5"8

---

about 5' 7" but I'm 16 now and 6' 1"

He's 13, there's a lot of hope for him yet. If he doesn't grow by 17, then his definitively staying short for the rest of his life.

im 13 and im 5'7

---

im 14 and Im 6'1 so i think iwas liek 5'10

---

Im 14 and 5'8 at 13 I was 5'5, but I am tall at school so he is probobly fine.

---

i was 5'9-5'10, now im 15 and 6'3, andi havnt had my growth spurt yet

---

Im 18 now, and i'm 6'1 or 6'2 right now, but when i was 13 i was proably 5'1 or 5'2, around there, i was really short, and didnt grow tall tell about15, 16 years of age.

I was probably 5'4 then, and I am 5'7 now, but I am Chinese and we are not very tall on average. Tell your friend to do more running and basketball type of exercises, at 13 these work out seem more affective, but don't do weights until later years.
