stress and growth

[SocialRetahd]

Anyone under high stress during childhood and teen years(13-14) that stop growing taller? I stopped growing at 15. Apparently teh cortisol produced by stress inhibits gh.

I stopped growing early as well, but rather not for stress (it's difficult to say, I think...) - and I'm already tall.
But the stress can harm or worsen the one's health status, which is known, and it'd be similarily, if not more, big problem for the social phobics...
