Hello @juliancrashin and welcome to Mayo Connect. Have you mentioned your concern about your height with a doctor or your parents? It might be a good idea to seek a medical opinion. I'm going to invite @astaingegerdm to join this conversation as she has addressed these types of questions with other teens.

Is your overall health good? Do you have any problems with eating or maintaining your weight?
