I’m 16 and I’m 5’8! My father is 6’2 and my mother is 5’7. My parents are taller than both their parents. My arms are extremly tall. My weidth with my arms wide open is 6’2! I was wondering is there any chance for me to get taller naturally and I’m a swimmer(maybe it helps) so Is there a chance that I will get taller or will I remain the same?

i know that height is genetic and not something we can control and all that but my cousin’s parents are both short and he is 6′. my mom says its ‘cuase he used to drink over 3 glasses of milk a day and i can’t think of any other reason why this happened.his grandparents weren’t tall either. because of people like him i do feel that we can somewhat control our growth.i’m am 15 and 4’11 and i am not happy with it. please don’t tell me to be happy about being short becuase i want to be at least 5’3 before i stop growing. should i ask my doctor for vitamin supplements? would exercising help? because i don’t do any kind of physical activity. and if so, what kind of exercises? what kinds of foods might help? and what about stretching? ok thanks

Ok, so I just turned 15 a few days ago (gr. 10) and I’m 5’6 without shoes on. I’m a guy btw. I want to know how tall I will grow.

My dad is 5’10 and a half. Hes 176cm tall

My mom is 5’3

My mom’s father is 6’0 and my mom’s brother is 6’0

My dad’s sisters are around 5’7-8 and my dad’s brothers are 5’11

My dad grew really late. He grew 2-3 inches when he was 18-20. I saw a picture of him, he was around 5’6 in high school.

My dad’s side cousins (who are in their 20s) are 6’6”(seriously hes tall as a freak, he also is a pro golf player), and 6’1”. I have a cousin who is the same age as me and the last time we met which was in the summer he was 1 cm taller than me.

My mom side has only one cousin and shes a girl ( if you need to know shes like 5’4 and shes 16)

So, I’m like the 4th shortest guy in my grade (theres 55 guys in my grade). And i’m the same height as a guy who’s parents are (5’7 and 5’0).

I sleep aroudn 61/2- 71/2 hours a day.

I drink choclate milk in random bursts (like 1 week i’ll drink a lot and the next week i’ll drink very little)

I’ll admit i don’t eat vegetables. my parents pampered me when i was a kid so they never made me eat my vegetables and now i hate vegetables. (i’m trying to start eat vegetables, like carrots and celery in my dinner (but this is still not often, I go many days without eating a single vegetable)

I am stressed. I go to a super competitive highschool and quite a few of the students sleep 6 hours a day or less. we have a lot of hw and projects and the like. (95% of our student body gets 90% or higher percentile on all sections of the SAT and PSAT)

I don’t really know why i’m so stressed about my height. it also doesn’t help that i’m one of the shortest guys in the grade and even my friends who used to be the same height as me are shooting up.

So, if you actually know how tall people grow and you can enter this data into the brain of yours just attempt to give me an estimate of how tall I will grow.

P.S. I heard basketball makes you grow taller by jumping. I don’t play basketball mainly becasue i’m so short, but i want to know if its true. If there are any suggestions that people do that help them gain height (no pills or surgery) I would appreciate it.

At this point in my life, I am 15 years old and am sixty-six inches tall. Both my parents are 5’10", and I read that teenage girls stop growing taller at age 16 or 17, which is not long from now. I’ve recently met with some modeling agents at Next Models LA, and they seemed ecstatic about me, but were extremely hesitant about my height, saying that "I could use two or three inches." Last year I suffered with malnutrition, and I am terrified that it may have stunted my growth. I am eating a sufficient diet now(although I am vegetarian), and I get a good amount of sleep and exercise. I also take multivitamins and calcium supplements daily, and yet I have not grown for months. Am I done growing, or is there something else I can do to reach my maximum height?

Well, I’m a 17 year old guy and I’m only 5’8, I REALLY REALLY REALLY want to get to 6 feet, or at least grow tiny bit taller. I don’t care how much, I just need to get a bit taller. I’m not doing for the girls, taller people have an advantage in some sports (tennis, basketball, etc..) I’m starting to lose hope because I know that our height highly depends on our parents. I’m already taller than my father by 1.5 inches and my mom by 4-5 inches. I don’t want any drugs like HGH by the way.

Ok i’m 15 and i’ve been a size 12 and a half for about 2 years now.And one time my friend told me If your shoes size stays the same then you stop getting tall and dont grow anymore. I’ve been 5"10 for like almost a year now.Is my friend right or is he just trying to freak me out?
And my parents arent all that tall. I’m taller than both my parents and i think i’ve already past my growth spurt.

im 13,female and im 5’2.
my parents are 5’7 and 5’11.
is there any diet or sport that i can practice to grow taller?

ok look im 20—female and ive had enough already. im 5’1 and im tired and depressed to be this short. i want to be taller soooo bad. i want to be like 5’5 5’6 or so. i just dont understand—my family is average height. both of my parents are average. dad–6 mom–5’5. and my grandmother is pretty tall but my other grandmother is like my height but shes still taller like 2 inches or so.

i will do ANYTHING to grow taller. ive spent money on books, cds! and nothing! i WILL NOT take no for an answer cuz i refuse to be short. it makes me so depressed all the time. everyone around me is taller. i hate it.
is there a supplement that i can take—–HGH human Growth Hormone or something—please i will do anything to grow. dont waste my time if your going to say negative things and say that nothing will happen cuz im not going to stay this way

I’m 19 and ~5’4. My parents are 5’4 and 5’5, but my younger bro is ~5’6.5. Could I Still grow taller naturally? How?
about the only excersize I get is jump roping for about 5-10 min. per day would that help?
I heard milk helps, but what kind– skim, 2% or whole– and what if it gives you slight gas?

okay so im 14, turning 15 in 2 months and couple of days. and i hate how im so short. im chinese btw. my mom is prettty tall 5’7. but my dad is hecka short, like 5’5 or 5’6 and i hate it because i take after my dad. we’re both socialbe, talkative, love sports, and hate school. so my parents are obviously both chinese. my mom’s dad was almost 6 but then my dad’s dad is like 5;7 and his mom isnt that tall either…like 5’3 or something but thats pretty good. so now on to me. i am only 5 ft and 3 cm and that sucksss! i grew like 1/2 inch between 8th and 9th grade. so i heard many things that sleep, food, and sports can make u grow taller. but isn’t it mostly genetics. so my question is how can i grow taler? i want to be at least 5 ft 1 inch by the itme im 15. but i dont think thats coming true..plz help. how can i grow taller???? and naturally…nothing like taking pills.

My parents are about 3’1-3’3. I’m 19 and only 3’1" tall. Is it still possible to grow a little taller even if your parents aren’t that tall? I’ve also heard that some products can actually make you grow taller, is that possible?

So im 5’2, (16 yrs) my parents are 5’3 and 5’6. I dont know if its genetics or not, but, are there any exercises that i can work on, or take up a sport that’ll help me grow at least like 2 or 3 inches?? thanks!! (by giving you my age, i was wondering if i can grow any taller, or if i stopped growing. i noticed that when i used to take swimming classes, i grew like 2 inches taller, but that option isn’t available any more)

have grown regularly throughout my life. I had really only one big growth spurt when I was about 13 and I have grown maybe about 1-2 inches a year. My doctor did not even think I would be as tall as I am now because my parents are both short, but now he says I may still have another 1-2 inches still to go. My shoe size also goes up a half size every year and a half. My brother is 25 and about 5’10” without shoes and he did not stop growing until he was 21, but my sister is 24 and 5’9”. My father was about 5’7” and my mom is 5’4”. My fathers side of the family is very short, but my mother’s side is huge. Her uncles were all 6’3” +. I am curious about how much taller I can grow. I only shave about once a week, I am starting to notice chest hair and my voice is starting to change, but I still look like I am only 15 or 16 (my age). So am I done or how much do I have to go? Can I reach at least 6’0”? Please answer!!!

I’m 13 years old and about 5′ 2.5." I jumprope as often as I can and have been exercising daily during the summer. My parents aren’t very tall (mom = 5′ 3", dad = 5′ 7") What are some ways that I can grow taller naturally and stimulate growth?
Oh, and I drink 3 glasses of milk daily…

I weigh 94 pounds…
I have a relatively well-balanced diet.
I got my first period at 11 1/2 but it’s wasn’t regular until after I turned 13.
I’m a swimmer…(can’t do butterfly yet but I’m good at breaststroke, freestyle, and backstroke)
Usually I go to bed at 10-10:30 and wake up around 6:30 when there’s school and at 9 during the summer.

So, I’m 17, I’m 5 feet 3 inches tall and I weigh 98 pounds. My parents are short too but I’ve heard that it’ll possible to grow taller by exercising and stuff. Is it true? What exercises are the best? What else should I do to increase my height naturally? I want be 5 feet 6 inches at least… Please help.
