Does stretching help growth?

No streching helps your muscles loosin up. If you do not stretch you injure them by pulling or by tearing them. Growing mainly happens in the bones. They're the first to grow. not the muscle. That's why the doctor tells you to drink milk when you're in your growing stage. It helps protect the bones as they help you grow. If you didnt drink milk your bones would get really thin and easy to break. When you stretch you stretch the muscle not the bone.
