  besides, i guess size is important to me cos im a javelin/shotputter for school
  
  in my team (everyone is muscular)
  
  there are 4 1.8 ppl
  
  3 1.78
  
  1 1.75
  
  me 1.72
  
  and a few more..
  
  especially go competition, im looking at the necks of those crazy shotputters.
  
  oh, how can i jump further? my standing broad jump is only 210-220 which is quite lousy. any tips? jump around at home?

  I think you still will grow somemore... I just found out on Apr 9 that I had grown one cm taller when I went for poly med checkup and I am a girl. The rate of growth may be slower now... I had not been growing much since sec 1. Play more basketball or go swimming, can really grow taller. Used to grow very fast when I was still learning swimming but then I stopped. My brother who played basketball grow to 181 but I only 157. He eats much much more than me.

  thanks for the advice anyway... i think my horrible sleep cycle (2-3am) is whats killing me.

  Growth or no growth, proper sleep hours are always important especiallt at your age...
  
  Mmm... Not sure about the 'bar-hanging' thing though?

  ..15 + 172. Taller than me le.. I this yr 17, and I'm only 168 -.-"" I hobbit lolz
  Go SATA for medical checkup, coz got a little hunch-back..the person measure me 164 -.-lllll
  
  Think sleeping helps in growth. I sec 1 only 140. Sec 3 only 150. During Sec 3 to 4, very slack. Everytime slack, slack until this height lolz.
  
  Dont feel inferior if u r shorter in a bball team. I last time in a bball team. I shortest, so often kena neglected in matches, and only ask me to defend those lousy or even girls ..!!!
  
  But I can win a few of the taller people in my team. Keep shooting 3 pointers lolz. Hate the centre especially. Think he tall then act as if he's better than me, and keep commanding me do this do that.
  
  Height is an advantage, but not everything
