Answer 1

Boys and girls have dramatically different height growth as teenagers. Whereas boys grow more than 5 inches between the ages of 13 and 15 years, girls grow only 1.6 inches during their teenage years after growing more rapidly than boys before adolescence. Height growth or a lack thereof often has a profound effect on boys' and girls' behavior, self-esteem and social development, according to "Understanding Psychology," a college textbook.
