Why did I get shorter?
I know what your thinking, yah right? well just hear me out. About 2 months ago i messured how tall i was. it said 5’. but when i messured yesterday, same tape mesurer it said i was only 4’ 10 1\2”…. is it even possible for a 16 year old girl to be shrinking? Like i am honestly sensative about my hight, and when people comment about it i just laugh with them, but i kinda dislike being short. Is it possible that i am getting shorter, and if so, why?
The more likey cause is a misreading of the tape measure (which is easily messed up when trying to measure your height by yourself), or a difference in the shoes you were wearing or the way your hair was styled the two days you measured yourself.
Its not normal for a healthy teenager to “shrink”. If you honestly feel this is the case and notice real evidence that you are in fact losing bone mass and shrinking you need to see a doctor asap.
Did you measure yourself at different times in the day? Everyones height varies by an inch or so during the day.
my mom did it each time. um, i had no shoes on either time i was messured, and both times my hair was down. Um, i do have pains in my legs all the time, na dhave for as long as i can remeber into my child hood, with i can remebr up to age 4. I did see a dr. about that and they told me i have a lack of calcium or something. would that be a cause of it?
both times were in the evening
try measuring in the morning i think u gonna be ur full length in the mornin cause in the evening u gonna be a liitle short cause of the gravtiy. if u notice a shrinkage then u better see the doc.
okay :s i hope i am back up to normal hight :(
Yeah best wishes. but u know what don’t let ur short stature let u down. i’m short too so i kinda know how u feel.
As you are 16 years old it is unlikely that you got shorter. You need to check the tape measure - also, if you use a soft, cloth tape measure it could have stretched. If so, that tape measure would make it appear that you are shorter than you actually are. Use a rigid rule or steel measure.
it was steel
