I’m a 14 year old girl my height is about 5’3 How can I safely increase my height?
I’m a 14 year old girl my height is about 5’3 and I weigh around 144 pounds. I eat fruits and vegetables very often and sweets too but I don’t drink milk. I used to wear 5 pound ankle weights all the time until my cousin told me how they could mess up my knees. And I carry a fairly heavy backpack everyday to school. How can I safely increase my height?…can I still increase my height?

I am sorry, but there are few safe and effective ways to do this. Your height is pretty much something you have to learn to accept about yourself. Carrying a backpack or using ankle weights won’t really change it.
Wait for a growth spurt
You’re young, you’re still growing. It’s all good 
high heels
medevil strech torcher machine!!
Its all natrural.
you can’t
Stop putting so much pressure on yourself. That can stunt your growth. Other than that, take your time. You still have plenty of time to grow up.
You can’t increase your height…that is all genetics. You’re 5’4”…that completely normal and the perfect height for a girl.
um, don’t drink or eat ANY caffeine. at all. it really works.
Nothing at all you can do but give yourself time to grow.
never understood how anyone could think they can just make themself grow taller, you are what you are.
You really dont need to be worrying about that, you are only 14, you still have time to grow.
I’m not sure its even possible. Try taking your vitamins but height is a genetic thing, not a choice thing.
stretch every morning. why do you think athletes are so tall?
try climbing a mountain
yep u can eat a balanced diet with all the vitamins, i am a 13 year old who is 6 foot 3, because i drink 5 glasses of milk a day, take multivitamin pills, and exercise. I am even 5 inches taller than my parents.
you are still young you might grow taller but I’m that and i am 19 just be happy with your self.
Stop trying to do something that you have no control over!
All you might accomplish is disappointment!
You CANNOT decide how tall or short you will be. It is up to genetics. If you are destined to be taller, your body will get there, in due time. Otherwise, learn to love the person you are, at the height that you are!!
stretch alot it worked for me in the six weeks off anyway
girl let me tell you, I’m six foot 2 and honey, it sucks big time. I only wish I could be your height. Stop dreaming of being taller, you are fine the way you are. And remember it’s always greener on the side. I have to order special clothes to fit me and it’s really annoying and more expensive. All the boys when I was your age, were shorter than me and everyone use to call me a man for being so tall. So be happy with your height because I can tell you, it sucks to be extremely tall.
Height is something that depends on parents genes.. if your parents are tall then you’ll be tall.. if they’re short you’ll be short. if your mums short but dads tall its more likely you’ll be short cos you’re a female.. but yeah..
there isnt really a way to increase your height. just get sleep.. good diet… lots of calcium
and make sure you do not slouch!
I’m still 5’1", weigh 111 lbs and I’m sixteen. I dont think its going to happen for either of us. But when I was little I got like, growth hormones injected into me…but i dont think it worked.
wear high heels. lol
You will get a growth spurt, and lose some of your weight when that happens. I f your not drinking milk, you better be taking vitamin D supplements for bone strength.
You have to prevent osteoporosis as a woman later in life. Very important.
do not mess with mother nature. you will end up hurting yourself. or doing some heavy duty damage. just be patient. let nature take its course. you could cut back on the sweets and get more exercise. when you lose a couple pounds you will look taller. but do not diet to extreme either. eat well balance meals..and exercise. get away from the computer.. and sit down activities. get outside.. get some fresh air.
Eat your veggies and drink lots of milk. Don’t sweat it though, you’ve got some growing time yet.
Take a look at the family history and check into the heights. Your body may still be growing or maybe you are just supposed to be that height. Watch what you eat and find out what you are supposed to weigh for your height!
you will have to settle for increasing your height with wedges ,platforms and heels until you grow taller.
You’re only 14! When I was that age I thought I stopped growing too. Don’t worry, you haven’t!
I really don’t understand why you would want to increase your height. If you feel that your weight is a problem that can be handled easily enough. You might have to give up the sweets for awhile and start a mild exercise program, but it will be helpful in the long run. I stopped growing at just under 5’2" and it has never caused me any problem. I’ve always been happy to be the size I am.
Why would you want to be taller? 5’3 is a great height for a girl.
Some Japanese women get their legs broken and then spend a year in leg braces as doctors stretch the bones. These painful, not medically sound procedures are done for a few measly inches.
Cut out the sugar and focus on all the great things your body is capable of.

There are not medicines that can help your improve your hight..but 5’3" is not a bad hight for a girl.
just be patient…everyone grows at a different pace

Heels are the only way to go. Height is genetics, there’s no changing that. Drop the weights and the sweets. Do some homework in study hall so your not carrying a heavy backpack. If your not using the textbook every day in school, leave it at home. Good luck.
Hang from a bar daily.{by your hands }Bar should be about 2-5 inches taller than you!!Step on a footstool to get up there , then hang. Feet must be off the ground. Keep back aligned. Definately improves posture, good for your back, and stretches you out slowly, daily. Improves standing straight …But be careful when you step back down on footstool you have secure footing !! measure your height, before you begin,then Start hanging every day for approx. 3-5 min. or as long as you can take it, measure yourself periodically,once a week or once a mo. I almost guarantee you will have better posture and be taller and have a stronger back!! Good for your arms too!!! Make sure bar is secure and will hold your weight !! Good luck!! I have tried it , as well as a friend of mine and it worked, but you have to keep it up, or you will slump back down to original height if stopped for long!!Dr. told her that!!
You should continue to eat smart, however be sure to include foods that provide calcium if milk is out for you, like yogurt, cheese, etc. Just be patient, your height potential has not been reached yet…better not to mess with "mother nature"! Also, a multi-vitamin daily is a must for you to supplement vitamins and minerals you might be missing. GL, i’m sure you are a beautiful girl just as you are!
You are still young; however, it is not your height the needs increasing, it is your self image.
As for as height goes, you will reach you adult height around 18 which means you are probably close to 5′ 4" tall, the perfect height.
As far as you weight goes, you need to rethink what you eat. In particular, calcium for strong bones. If at 18 and you weight 144 lbs, you need to trim down a little by watching what you eat.
14 year old girls are under the gun about how they look. There is a image that promotes a "high fashion, movie star" look. This may be attractive, but is also does not represent reality. Not every girl is 6’3” tall, 130 lbs.
You need to evaluate who you are, not how you look. The how you look will come with time.
Answer: Good eating habits that fit your body, no matter how tall.
you’re bones need to be strong in order to carry a tall frame= eats lots of protein and drink your milk and lift heavy things in a repetitious work out
A girl grows the most from the day her periods begin— for 1 year— so maybe from 13 to 14. You need a multi Vitamin and exercise and lots of fresh fruits. Keep your stress down by not taxing yourself emotionally, stress burns up the calories you need for growing.Your DNA decides how tall you will be but you can be tall by holding your body straight and walking with great posture. good question ! one star coming up !
ur stuffing ur joints you silly girl !!! look im 16 and im still growing, when i was 14 i was about 5’5 now im 5’7 …
i thort that you stoped growing when u get ur period but thats wrong, because i got mine when i just turned 12 ….. just eat a balanced diet with lots of chicken…. as it has hormones, and excersice even if its just goin for a long walk
all the best hun
Hopefully you eat plenty of cheese instead of drinking milk. A calcium deficiency will give you weak bones as well as cramps and does not help your growth.
You can find lots of information in a search for "grow taller" in the Search for questions slot.
unless you are planning to play basketball, who cares? besides, most guys prefer that their girls are not taller than them. 5’3 isn’t that short. be happy with what you got, it could always be worse.
