how to stop your height - #24442

Swara

I am really worried because I’ve been feeling obsessed with my height lately. I’m 16 and seem to be one of the shortest ones in my class. A few of my friends are already 6 feet tall, while I’m barely at 5'3". I keep thinking about how to stop your height, which sounds kinda weird, but I just wish I could be taller, you know? My dad was really short too, and I’m starting to freak out, thinking that I won’t grow anymore. The doctors told me that you stop growing at around 18 or something, and I feel like I’m already behind. I’ve read stuff online about things like diets or exercises that can supposedly help your growth, or even ways to somehow stunt it if that makes sense? A friend even jokingly suggested wearing ankle weights, which is kinda silly. I just want to know how to stop your height from being an issue in my life. Seriously, are there any natural ways or something anyone has tried? I’m just feeling lost right now and would love to hear thoughts or experiences from you guys. Thanks!
