Some signs that you are growing up: 1  You think the music teenagers and college students are listening to is awful...Not nearly as awesome as the music that came out when you were a teen or a college student. 2  You like wine.3  You prefer well-cooked meals over fast food (at least sometimes). And when you hit bumps in the road, you actually try to work through it, rather than argue at the top of your lungs and end the relationship with drama. 2  You invest in a retirement fund. 3  You're officially a grown-up when you own stocks.
Some parents believe that just because they both are short, their children will be short as well. But with the right diet, posture and a few exercises, it is possible to aid the growth of your child. Exercises elongate and lengthen the bones. And in growing children, the bands of cartilage around long bones of the arms and legs stretch and allow for the bones to grow. Shortly after puberty, around the ages of 16 to 18, this cartilage fuses and doesnât allow bones to grow anymore.
