Hello! I am a 16 year old boy who I turned 2 months ago. I have a very big problem that some time ago I didn't even believe was real, but after so long I started to think completely differently. About 2 years ago, ie when I was in 7th grade, from September to June I went from 160 to about 175 centimeters. Then I was 57 kilograms and decided to start fitness. From August 2013 until now I have interrupted only once in 3 months and something. So the question is that from June 2014 until now (June 2015) I have gained 63 kilograms. I eat a lot, but I can't lift and that's it, and the growth has stopped completely - 2 centimeters in 2 years. The growth has stopped even since February or March 2014 - since then I am 177 centimeters and that's it. My mother is 170 and my father - 185 centimeters, but my father has no problem with weight, nor my mother. I've already started to bread a lot, I'm embossed, but my weight is a little, and my sets are 70 kilograms (but not so high, but it doesn't matter - I want to get taller). Avoid comments like "you're perfect like that" because they won't help me in any way. I don't know what to do anymore.

You have no problem for me. You haven't stopped growing at all, but you definitely won't become like your father, and you're on average between your mother and father, which is normal. You will grow another 1 to 2 cm, but honestly for a Bulgarian and now you are fine. You will gain weight with more caloric food. Don't ignore carbs if you want to get up.
I am at the other extreme - after 8th grade I grew by 7-8 centimeters and gained 10 kilograms in less than a year. : D You have nothing, we are just different and everyone develops in an individual and unique way. :)
Do you know, for example, that if the embryo maintains its growth rate as it is on the first day after conception, it should become as big as the Earth in a year? Something similar, but on a very small scale, is repeated during puberty (13-17 years). With you, the process is just over ... What do you expect? To become 210 cm and 110 kg. or ?! Your current size is close to normal human, so you should be happy that you are normal! And don't worry - when you stop growing in height, over the years you will gradually start to grow in width ... This is inevitable if you do not maintain a strict sports regime, or at least a very active daily life, for the rest of your life.
You will just be between your mother and your father like me, mother 158 father 175 and I 170. And do not eat, I often read that this speeds up the metabolism, better eat 4 times a day but in good portions. Success!
I am in a similar (not to say worse) case. In 3 months I have to turn 16, and I am only 52 kg and 1. 77 m. Last year I was 53 kg 1. 70, and before 51-5 kg 1. 60 m. My mother is 1. 62 my father 1. 84. In my free time I play basketball .. I can't help you gain weight, but for height growth you must drink water / milk before bed and eat a LOT of meat (protein-> amino acids-> increased growth hormone). Eat nuts, cheese, vegetables, etc. Most importantly - exercise.
Whatever you do, do not resort to growth hormone. It is harmful and can have many unpleasant consequences, and the results are zero. Basketball and volleyball ... don't help growth. All basketball players are tall because coaches take tall people. I have 3 acquaintances who have played basketball all their lives, but are in the range of 160-170 cm. Here are a few other methods that MAY work. But this will happen if you are under 21 years old. Hanging levers - this will strain your joints, but it is possible, in a year or two, to give you a few more inches. Lots of sleep - growth happens while we sleep. If you are awake for 19-20 hours a day, you will grow more slowly. And now the final option, which is not suitable, at least until the age of 25-6 is surgery. Of course, this is an extremely painful, burdensome and expensive process.
