Question 3

I'm really worried because my height hasn't increased at all since I was in 7th grade, and now I'm already 17 years old. Is there anything I can do about this? Any advice would be really appreciated.

In summary, if your growth plates are still open, there may still be some opportunity for growth. However, if they are closed, height growth is likely to stop. Focus on maintaining a healthy lifestyle, getting good nutrition, staying active, and keeping your posture good. If you're still concerned, consult a doctor for a thorough evaluation of your growth potential.
