Helping you with growth!

She said ‘When I grew I became heaver, but I talked to my mom about it and she helped me a lot. She gave me advice as well and I think others should talk to their parents when it comes to growth. They could help you a lot!’

Scarlet ‘I hope I grow taller because I’m kind of getting more weight, and my mom says when that happens your about to get a growth spurt.’

HE L L O WOR L D! Hello! Are you a person with a height problem. People calling you names since your so tall? Fill that your clumsy ? Or that your to short? Well don’t worry about it your not the only one that has these problems. We’ve gotten letters about this ‘problem’. And it’s about time we talk about it. Right now your body is going through changes and height is one of these changes. And for those of you that are still ‘shorter than the class’ you just haven’t gotten there yet. So have you ever noticed that you have seemed to grow over night all of the sudden? Well this is called a growth spurt. It’s were you’ve reached a certain age that your body goes “Hey I’m ready to grow!” Along with growth there are other changes as well. Especially weight, and it’s not that

your getting fat it’s just that your body is ready to grow. And you’ll most likely keep on rolling with mini spurts. For people that are still ‘to short’ your time has not come yet. For girls the growing age will start at ten or elven and will peak at twelve. Then you’ll start to stop at 15 or 16 or if your a guy, you’ll get a later head start at 12 or 13, peak at 14 and finally stop at 19.

So there you go. It’s natural to have ‘height problems’ at your age so just relax and be clam and patient and your body will sort it’s self out. Now since your still reading check out these things people had to say about ‘growing into young adults’. And down below is a height and weight chart!

Ruth Ruth talks about taller people. ‘It can sometimes be strange talking to people that are taller then me, because I have to look up at them.’
