should i hop on HGH as a 16 yr old?
I’m 16 (just turned 16 about 3 months ago) and currently 5’9.5”. My dad is 6’1 and my mom is 5’7, so I feel like I might still have some growth left, but I’m worried I won’t get another big growth spurt.
I’ve been looking into HGH because I want to maximize my height while I still can. I’m not deeply insecure about my height, but I do think being taller objectively helps in life — socially, professionally, dating-wise, etc.
From what I’ve read, doctors usually won’t prescribe HGH for someone my height unless there’s an actual deficiency. I also know someone who gets it prescribed and said they could sell me some.
I haven’t done a ton of research yet, which is why I’m asking here first: realistically, is HGH worth considering at my age for height growth, or is it a dumb/risky idea if I’m already average height and probably still growing naturally?
