Growth problems

2018-09-09 13:51:53
I am 15 years old and I am in yr11 everybody in my class look like they are 15 yet I look like I am 11. I am under 5 foot and I really need a solution to fix my height. Because I am short I get mocked by friends classmates and sometimes even my cousins. This really lowers my self confidence and self-esteem. I don’t put my hand up in school whenever I need help because of this problem and my anxiety. Please could you help find a solution to this problem

There is a possibility that having Growth Hormone injections may be of benefit. You can consult an endocrinologist and explore this possibility. Growth in height of females normally stops by 16 years of age.
