Height is just one of the thousands of features your genes（基因）decide．In fact，because you have two parents，your genes provide you a height that usually lands somewhere between the height of each parent．If both your parents are tall，then most probably you will be tall，too．But if you have questions about how tall you're going to be，ask your doctor if he or she can help you find it out．

But genes don't decide everything．For example，eating an unhealthy diet can keep you from growing to the expected height．But getting enough sleep and exercise will meet your need．

It s certain that you're wondering how fast you should grow．It depends．There's no perfect or right answer．Generally speaking，kids grow about 2 inches（6 cm）a year between age 3 and the time when they start adolescence．

Don't be scared if you seem to have grown a lot in a very short time．Everyone has a time to grow fastest during adolescence．The age for starting adolescence is about lo for girls and about 11 for boys．But it can be earlier or later--between 7 and 13 for girls and 9 and 15 for boys．

You'll usually begin to notice that you're growing faster about a year or so after your body starts to show the first changes of adolescence．

Big Brothers Big Sisters is based on the simplicity and power（力量） of friendship．It is a program which provides friendship and fun by matching vulnerable young people (ages 7-17) with a volunteer adult who can be both a role model and a supportive friend.
Volunteer tutors come from all walks of life—married, single, with or without children. Big Brothers and Big Sisters are not replacement parents or social workers. They are tutors: someone to trust, to have fun with, to talk and go to when needed.
A Big Sister and Little Sister will generally spend between one and four hours together three or four times each month for at least twelve months. They enjoy simple activities such as a picnic at a park, cooking, doing sports or going to a football match. These activities improve the friendship and help the young person develop self-respect, confidence and life direction.
Big Brothers Big Sisters organizations can be found throughout the world. It is the largest and most well-known provider of tutor services internationally and has been operating for 25 years.
Emily and Sarah have been matched since 2008. Emily is a 15-year-old girl who has experienced some difficulties being accepted by her schoolmates at school. “ I was pretty sure there was something wrong with me.”
Emily’s mum came across Big Brothers Big Sisters and thought it would be of benefit to Emily by “providing different feedback about herself other than just depending on schoolmates to measure(测量) her self-worth.
Sarah wanted to get involved(使参与) in a volunteer program. “I googled it and found out how to be a part of it. I thought it would be fun for me to get involved in making time to do something because sometimes it is all work and no play.”
Big Brothers Big Sisters has been of great benefit and enjoyment to both Emily and Sarah. They love and look forward to their time together and the partnership has certainly helped Emily be more comfortable in being the wonderful and happy girl she is!
