I am 12, not sure if my voice has changed much at all, people say it is still really high. I am just about 5' and since l have short asian parents, I've been told that all I am going to grow, but l like to be hopeful. How do you know you've hit your growth spurt?


And totally off topic, but does anyone know what foods can stunt growth?

The most noticeable signal that you are growing is your pants will be too short. (I know.. sounds simple) Also you will be hungrier when you hit a growth spurt.

Poor nutrition will stunt your growth. Like any living thing.. the better you take care of it and the better you feed it - the better it will grow. However an oak tree will never be as tall as a redwood tree.. no matter what you feed it.. Your genes have determined what your maximum height will be.

Food does not stunt your growth. Even coffee does not while people might tell you it does. You can usually tell by seeing if you're growing a lot, and measuring regularly. If you want to have an estimate of your height, go see a doctor. I am sorry to tell you that most kids do not grow much taller than their parents, though a few inches is possible.
