Afraid i wont grow taller, can anyone help me?
I just turned 20 years old, i’m 5 foot 5inch, have a size 11.5 shoe, grew an inch in the past 8 months, my puberty really started going when i was 16 i have a very large rib cage so i look stocky (i’m one of those people when they say are just big boned i am) I am direly afraid that i am not going to grow anymore just because of my age and rate at which Ive been growing, had a very small growth spurt around 15, and then hight has been slowly creeping up since then to my hight of 5′ 5”, my brother is about 5′ 8” 5′ 9” wheres a size 8.5 i believe somewhere around there and he is 24, but not sure how long he has been that tall, everyone in my family always expected me to be tall because of my feet, i’m scared that they are wrong, i mean i don’t want to be like 6′ 2” no anywhere from like 5′ 8” to 5′ 10” would be fantastic 5′ 8” being good 5′ 10” being amazing, should i be worried that this will never happen, i am very insecure about my hight, i really don’t want to stay this short ![]()

If you want to be taller just set that goal. Don’t think bad thoughts that you will forever be short just set your head into believing you’ll grow, believe me it works. The mind has not limit when used properly. Don’t try those things that stretch you out, they just pop your joints, and don’t try steroids they won’t work. l’ m 24 and i am 6’0 , my father 5’7 and mum 5’4. l was the same height as my father 8 months ago and l was always told that l would not grow over 5’7 , the height can’t be controlled , height was determined by your genetic ,inheritance etc. i was really fed up with these narrow- minded people around me and l hit the road for a solution. l have researched books , doctors and internet high and low for increasing height, and tried many growth boosters. From my experience what worked on me :
1. Eat lots of Broccoli.
2. Eat at least 250gr yougurt every day.
3. Regular Swimming helps.
4. Sleep without pillows, and sleep at least 8 hrs daily.
5. Super-Growth works http://www.growtallersupplements.net or http://www.super-growth.org
6. Use an inversion table for 20- 30 minutes every day.
Follow the tips above and you’ll grow a few inches taller regardless of your age.
Get atleast 9 hours of sleep every night.
Drink several cups of milk a Day
Get some Excersize(Place Stretching in This).
You’re letting your fears control you – instead of you controlling them.
Genetics rule – you cannot re-program genetics.
You will not finish puberty until at least age 21 – maybe even longer.
It depends on what age you started puberty.
Many guys do continue to grow right up until puberty ends – anything is possible – but no guarantee’s.
Life is not always the way it’s supposed to be. It’s just the way it is. The way you cope with it is what makes the difference.
If you started puberty at 16 you still have a year or two to go.
And you most likely grow.

hi, I stopped growing when I was around 15 and that sucked – your foot size is big for your height (bigger than mine) – how do you feel about that? u might yet grow a little – are your parents short or not?
Growing taller can be dangerous, if it isn’t done properly. I wouldn’t suggest expensive treatments or any other supplements. I used this whole guide to growing taller naturally – it’s unique and not available anywhere – go check it out: http://bit.ly/9ahDgL – this isn’t a scam or anything and it actually works (for once)
