I need help to grow as a teenager
Okay so for instance I’m a teenager ( I’d not wanna openly tell my age ) but I’m a teenager. And I’m not tall at all and haven’t grown in a while, I’m 167 cm to be precise, no pit hair or ” ” hair, but I do tend to have something more than normal on my legs and arms, my voice is not deep at all and in about 54 kg. Also I do have a lot of fat on my stomach and thighs that makes me not have visually ABS or bone structure near my stomach even tho I weigh so little. I think a big thing is my curved pelvis. Or well, compared to other peoples back mine is a lot more curved ( probably because I often sleep on my stomach ).
My food and work out routines are meh, I go to football ( soccer ) practices which makes me run a bit atleast. My food intake is very mixed, but all and all I’d say my family mostly uses the air fryer or just other frozen products in the oven. Let’s say on Monday I’d eat some spahgetti with chopped up hotdogs, Tuesday either rests from the spaghetti or a new dish, let’s say tacos, Wednesday rice and chicken curry, Thursday salmon with potato’s, and Friday either a steak or Burger King lol. As you can see it varies a lot. Also I live in Sweden where you get free lunch in school. And it is often KIND OFF nutrient I guess. Anyways I also try to drink a lot of milk if that helps any.
My genetics are kind of mid. On my dads side, out of his 4 other siblings he became the shortest one apart from his sister that’s just 1 cm shorter than him. He turned out to be 180 cm on the spot which was a bit sad for his part considering that his oldest 2 brothers turned both 187 and his little brother turned 194 ish. And one of my uncles like I mentioned is 187 has his wife which is about 178 but someway their children ( my cousins) turned out to reach 198 cm tall ( I’m not joking ). Anyways my grandpa and grandma on my mothers side are very different in height. My grandpa is about 186 and my grandma is like 165 ish ( not sure ).
And on my mothers side both her parents are short, her dad is probably 170 ish and her mom 159. But once again somehow her siblings turned out be around 183 ish.
For instance I’m from the Balkan region ( not Slavic tho ).
The problem with my height has never really been a problem up until now. When I was younger, (5-12 years old) I never ever had a problem with my height really, I was even taller than most people. But with time people started entering puberty and I just kinda got stuck. So now I’m below average.
