Does weight affect height?
No, not really. Height affects weight though!I suppose that if you were really really heavy and unhealthy at a young age your body may not develop properly and if you were much older also heavy and unhealthy it could have an effect on your bone structure, particularly certain women who have problems with osteoporosis. And I guess there’s that guy with a massive belly that bends backwards slightly and doesn’t stand up straight. But if you’re worried that you’re short because your fat… Well… Sorry, getting skinny isn’t going to affect your height much.

Does lifting weights stop people from growing taller?
5' 8.5" isn't short at all...that's pretty much the norm (that close to my height, and i don't have trouble attracting women...of course I'm 31 and girls in my age aren't that shallow) But back to the question...no, its not stunting your growth. You would have to fracture a bone through a growth plate to stop its growth...and even thats not 100% certain. You're fine, growth spurts in puberty have a weird cycles sometimes...you've got till your mid-20's before it really stops.
Is HGH supplements a bad idea?
HGH can only help you to grow taller if you have a medical condition such as a pituitary gland that is not secreting enough HGH. Very very very short people such as dwarfs or midgets who are still in their growing years can often be helped with HGH. In your particular case HGH won't help you to gain any extra height as you don't have a medical condition that can stunt growth. All you need to do is to eat normally and you could possibly peak at 6'6 at 18.
Do you lose weight during a growth spurt?
Guys usually hit a growth spurt between 15 and 17. They stop growing at around 21. During a growth spurt, your body goes through a rapid period where you grow up to 5-6 inches per year. Usually people grow 2-4 inches per year. As you grow taller, any fat you may have accumulated on your stomach or wherever is used as energy or its simply spread out over your new larger frame. This makes it seem like you loose fat, when really, you're just getting taller. But you sometimes do loose fat, as your body utilizes the fat by converting it into energy and using this energy to grow from. If you loose weight during puberty, you are unlikely to reach your full adult height potential. Make sure you keep at a healthy weight. Increased hunger suggests you may be going through a growth spurt and therefore, you must listen to your body and eat. Eat dairy products (milk, cheese, yoghurt), protein rich foods (animal products like meat, fish, poultry) and lots of vegetables and fruits. Try to avoid soy products. Exercise a lot and sleep well. Make sure to eat even more if you exercise a lot as you need to replace the energy you use. The reason you should exercise is so your bones gain density and get more healthy (the more exercise you do, the healthier your bones will get). Good Luck . E mail me for more questions!
