im 15 years old, and i have trouble getting to sleep, even if im dead tired i cant sleep till about 2 am. i have tried afew diff methods for afew months at a time and none have worked for me. im wondering is it normal for me to sleep at 2 or 3 am and wake up at 11 or 12 ? |

9 or 10 hours is too much sleep, it is better to get close to 8. Your body is used to those hours, so it will be really difficult to just change it. It is more of a lifestyle change. Cut out whatever keeps you up that late and/or get a reason to get up earlier. Personally, I once had a job that required me to get up at 5:30 in the morning. It was exhausting enough that I need to go to be by 9:30 at night, but before and after that job I stay up later. |

My question basically surrounds height.
So im currently 15yrs old and about 5ft7.
I haven't had a significant growth spurt (as far as i remember) where i've grown a few inches during the summer (like a lot of my friends), and i've grown very insignificant amounts in the past year or so.
My parents are pretty short: Dad 5ft6, Mum 4ft10
But my brother whose 19 is about 5ft9.
The thing is he says he hit this height when he was my age, and he's stopped growing significantly after that. Plus even as young children he has always had longer limbs than me (he still does). So basically im quite worried as to if i will be growing anymore.
I do plenty of exercise, train for rugby and basketball teams. Do cardio (running, skipping) on my non-training days. So i basically do some form of sport everyday. I drink enough milk, and have a relatively balanced diet with vegetables and fruits included.
Will i be able to grow to his height? Or possibly even taller? |
| adam32m says: |
It is possible, but since you are taller than both your parents I can't say. You are still young, you have potentially 6 years of growing left, so it is possible. I never hit a major growth spurt past 16, but I grew a couple more inches overall. |

im 16, just turned 16 actually. for years now i've been concerned with my boobs or lack-there-of, im 5'7, 147 and have A 34. i have been told they will grow sence i was 12, now i want to do something about it.
do you think theres still time they will grow?
or will they need help(such as breast pills or surgery but i would not do surgery till 18)Really, this is to make me feel better not for any boyz. |
| adam32m says: |
It is possible, do your older sisters or your mother have larger breasts? That may be the best indicator on what will happen to you. Breasts are always changing so it's possible, but I can't say that they will. |
