Okay I'm 5'2 and I recently (as in like two days ago) just turned 16.
I want to grow taller though.
My mom is like 5'0 & I think my dad is somewhere around the 5'6-5'8 area.
I've played tennis all my life and never really tried anything else.
I'm deciding whether or not to go out for track this spring..
What's confusing me is that my sister is 14.
She's the middle child of the family (I'm the oldest) and she's 5'5-5'6 and still growing.
She does swimming though and goes about 3 times a week for about 2 hrs.
She also does cross country & track but does swimming for most of her time.
I would have tried swimming by now, but I hate myself in a bathing suit at all because I keep comparing myself to my sister, who is skinny as a stick.
I’m not that fat at all; average actually, except I lack the “inner strength” (especially in the arms) that most people have. (Strength as in, how fast you can run in an amount of time; how many pull ups you can do etc.)
So help?? (It’s realllyy embarrassing when people mistake my sister for being older, because she’s taller and skinnier >_<)
