I’m turning 19 in a couple of weeks but I’m only 5’5-5’6. I feel so short compared to other people (both guys and girls).

My parents are both short, but I’m shorter than my dad (he’s 5’10).

Are there any ways of naturally growing taller at my age or am I forever this height?

Thank you.

Does anyone here know how to increase your height naturally and a whole lot faster? Like grow at a natural but quick pace? I drink milk twice a day, i am very thin, my current height I believe is 5’6.5" and I am a 14 year old boy.. my parents range from 5’6-5’9.

Hey,
When I was little,my doc said I’ll be approx. 5’7-5’8.My dad is only 5’6 and my mom 5’5(My older sister too)so I don’t get it since some people say children grow as tall as their parents.But my friend once told me that at each generation,people get taller,so I’ll be taller than my parents,my children taller than me etc.
I’m 13(nearly 14)and 5’4,I’ve had growth spurts but lately I haven’t been growing much.Could it be possible that my doc got it wrong?Or is it possible that I might still grow a couple more inches?Also,I’m not as skinny as my friends(I’m not overweight though),as all their weight comes to their boobs,but I have really thick thighs,my shape is really weird(small boobs,skinny arms and huge thighs that rub),my mom said it’s normal,and since I’ll grow much taller,I’ll lose a lot of weight naturally and my shape will be adjusted.But I’ve heard that as a teenager you naturally GAIN weight,so I’ll gain even more weight IF I grow taller,Please,tell me whats true!

I’m only 5"6, I’m a guy, and I wanna grow taller.lol do stretching exercises could help me grow taller? My parents are about the same height as me and I’m already 18. Could it be genetic? or am I just short because I used to workout everyday when I was 14….I heard we’re not supposed to work out till 18…?

I read from so many websites and youtube videos about methods which make you grow taller, 3 inches in 6 weeks, 3 cm in 2 months and so far and so forth

I’m exhausted now. Is there really a chance for somebody to grow tall if parents are not tall ?

please read all of this..
im 15 years old, female (obviously), 5’3", and 180-or so pounds.
i WAS a healthy child. i dont remember when i first was considered "above average" on the weight scale.
but i remember sneaking downstairs when my dad left for work and getting ice cream. thats right…. ice cream for breakfast.
for me there was no such thing as a serving of chips, or cookies, or cake. id eat myself into the ground. and once my parents allowed me to walk to the store down the street by myself i started sneaking boxes of donuts and family sized bags of chips into my room. and this was when i was 12.
by 5th grade i was 140 pounds ( i dont remember how tall i was..)
i was ALREADY experiencing bullying.
middle school was even worse for me. that was when i started getting the fat jokes, and all my crushes turned me down. im normally a very friendly, good-humored person, so it COULDNT have been my personality that turned them off. it had to be my weight.
middle school was when i went through the ugly baggy shirts and only wore sweatpants. it was when i really felt…. DIFFERENT.
now that im in highschool, ive grown to 5’3" and i WAS 163 pounds my freshman year. i started really watching what i ate as much as possible without depriving myself. i also took advantage of the schools gym which allowed students to go workout after school. but this soon took over my life. i spent ALL summer of ’09 sitting around all day, and then going to the school from 4-6 to workout.
i looked a lot better because id probably lost alot of fat, and replaced it with muscle. but on the scale, i only lost 5 pounds.
during my sophomore year, i stopped working out figuring that i was finally happier with myself that at least i was getting tons of compliments. i also let my eating go down the drain. unfortunately, i have my dads shitty metabolism, and karma came back and bit me in the butt. i gained back that weight, fell right back out of shape, and even went up to 180 pounds. i feel permanently bloated.
ive tried eating healthy, and i never keep up with it. i tried working out hard, and i only get discouraged when i cant do it. i tell myself EVERY night that tomorrow is going to be the day i make the change towards a better lifestyle again. and EVERY day i F.U.C.K it up. i eat tons of junk and am too lazy to workout.
ive used every excuse i could think of.
i tell myself im going to get up early in the morning and go for a run, but then in the morning i wake up and decide ill workout later in the day and go back to sleep for a few hours. then comes "later in the day" and i just tell myself im too tired and ill workout tomorrow.
either its too cold out, or its too hot out, or its raining, or i dont want people watching me.
theres always an excuse.
i feel trapped. i WANT to lose weight and look better and feel better and BE better. but i just dont have the will power to do it.
i want to do it naturally without any diets or supplements. but i dont know where to turn anymore.
PLEASE someone help me. i feel so depressed. ALL the time
on top of this my parents just divorced, and my grandpa died.
im so scared

I am 17 years old and at the moment I am 5’7 feet tall. Both my parents are 5’4. I have read a lot about increasing height and that its dependent on genetics. I just wanna ask if regular stretching and balanced diet can get me to 6 feet.
Please do suggest some of the things I should eat that may help me.

hi there, i am a boy of 16 yrs old and i am currently 5"10. the problem is that will i grow faster as much as i was growing when is was between 14 to 15 yrs old.

How much tall will i grow if :
my parents’ height are 5’5 and 5’7. i have my uncle who is 5”11.

will sport and healthy diet help me to grow taller ??

what should i eat to grow taller ?

thank you

I’m only 5 ft in height. I’m shorter than my parents. Can I still increase my height to a few more inches? If yes, what can I do?

I am 16 years old, turning 17 in 4 months. My mother is 5,4” and my father is 5,10”. I am only 5,3”. I am shorter than both my parents! Is there still a possibility for me to grow any taller?

I eat a healthy diet, take multivitamins and I often get a good amount of sleep. Is there something wrong with me?

I just turned 18, and i’m standing at 5’10 with shoes, i hit the gym 6 days a week, eat an extremely healthy and balanced diet, ive packed on 30 pounds of muscle in the last year,, i heard that men stop growing taller until they hit 23, by the sound of my lifestyle, do i still have a chance to break the 6’1 mark lol? just wondering
I know genetics play a huge role in height, but i have both short and very tall people in my family,, i’m already taller than both of my parents. just throwing it out there

I’m 14 (nearly 15) and i’m 5’3. They say you can’t grow 2 years after your period starts, but that’s not true because I just shot up about an inch.
My dad is 5’9 (he used to be 5’10 though).
My mum is 4’9 (she used to be 4’11).
Just saying that because my parents are old and have obviously shrunk. So the real heights are 5’10 and 4’11. My older sister (who is an adult/finished growing) is 5’7. At my age, she was about 5’5, if that’s any indicator. So i’m 14, 5’3 and 100 pounds (if weight is a factor). My shoe size is 8 in American.

How tall do you think i’ll be ?
