Im 17 years old, my father is 6’0", and my mother is about 5’0". Im of asian descent (mothers side only). Right now im about 5’4" plus another half an inch or so. I’m really conserned about if i’ve stop growing or not. I would really like to be atleast 5’10". I mean, this may sound pretty pathetic, but its hard to find girls my height, which in some way i feel is bring down my self-esteem. What is your opinion? Who should i talk to? Should i start taking some kind of supplement growth hormones, or something else…pleaseeeee helpp!!!!!

I’m 16 and she’s 14. We’ve been seeing each other for almost 2 years. I’m 5’6" and I don’t expect to grow much more. My dad is the same height and my mom is 5’2".
My girl comes from a tall family. Both of her parents are tall. When we met she was about 2 inches shorter than me and then she grew alot during the last 2 years and now stands 6’0" even in her barefeet. And she’s still growing! She likes to tease me by wearing high heels to tower over me even more and she stands close to me and look down on me to tease me and make me feel funny. She has one pair that’s so high that when she wears them I come up to her shoulder. I don’t mind it that much but she likes being naturally taller than me and I like her being taller than me now. I like her and she likes me but often we get stares and some people make comments. How do we deal with it?

im 16. and im only 5"0.

is there any kind of exercises that will make me grow taller?
if soo PLEASE HELP!!

I want to grow taller, and I’m 13. I have had my period for like a year now, so is it still possible to grow? What exercises should I do? I don’t like swimming and biking, and maybe something simple would be good? Also, what should I eat? I’m like 5’1" right now, and I feel really short. Is there any possible way I can grow to be at least 5’2? Or my goal (though I know it’s impossible) is 5’6!!! My parents are 5’4 and 5’6, my uncles are 5’7 and 5’8, and my grand parents are 6′, 5’2, 5’2, and 5’2, so…I don’t know….Any answers will be greatly appreciated!!! =)

I just became 15 this month

I’am a guy and I’am just 5 feet tall

I drink milk occasionally (I often forget)
I eat 3 full meals a day and a snack in the morning,
sometimes in the afternoon and sometime at night.

I sleep around 8hrs a day

I sleep facing the sides with my knees bended and hugging a pillow.
-is this bad?some say I should sleep straight facing the ceiling.

I stopped growing more than a year now (I think a year and a half)..
I think I just grew a cm in that duration..

My mom and sister are short (I think both of them are 4’11")
but my bro is about 5’6"-5’8" tall, my dad is 5’4"-5’6" I think..

J.S. prom is in 15 days and I want to attend and dance. But I don’t want to be this short..
Many girls are at the same hight as mine or maybe an inch or 2 taller than me..
but they would still be wearing hilled shoes..

So I want to grow maybe an inch or 2 before the prom. Is this possible?
Or are there any tips for me to start growing again even in not a 15 day period?
Or are there any tips in me to look and become taller?
Is carrying stuff and exercise (pull ups, push ups and sit ups) bad for growing?
-they say you would stop growing or even become shorter by doing these.

Hello. I know height is determined by genetics, and my mom is 5’5" and dad is 5’7" at most. When I was younger, the doctors said I would be 6’0" or more by the time I stopped growing. How is this possible?

I stretch, drink plenty of water, take vitamins, and jump trampoline for two or more hours each day. However, can the jumping on the trampoline help decrease height?

Honestly, my desired height is set at around 5’10" by the time I stop growing. I’m really interested if there are any real success stories with height increase methods (that are not scams). I don’t care how expensive it may be, either. I have the money.

I’ve heard of Growth Enhancer Plus, which is claimed to be the only doctor-recommended supplement to help increase height. Has anyone had success with this. It’s 0 a bottle, and I wonder if it’s a scam…

Sadly, I’m desperate to get taller, and need some answers.

By the way – I’ll turn 15 on May 30th, if that helps any…

Ok, a little about myself, I am Chinese, 18, 158 lbs. and about 5’9" in height. The reason I mentioned my race is because I’ve noticed that Asians normally have smaller bodies? or stuff like that, or maybe we just don’t workout that much. Anyways, my question is that I try to go to gym and swimming everyday alternating between the days and at about 1- 1.5 hours every time. I”ve been doing this for about a month now, but I don’t think I’m getting any thinner or having my abs built up or stuff like that. Should I but protein shakes? Eat protein bars? or take a weight supplement like hydroxycut or lipo 6? I want to have a lean body but with abs. And I dont want to eat something that might hinder my growth.. ( Im hoping to continue growing taller). So any tips out there? Thanks.

ok i want to mantain my weight as i grow taller so i will look thinner naturally . right now i am 12 and had a bone age test done and my doctor said I will probably grow 4 more inches .
right now i grew 2 inches went from 5’4" to 5’6" and i noticed i don’t look thinner , so if i continue to maintain my weight of 113lbs as I grow 4inches more, will i notice a difference in how thin i look or not?

At the turn of the century in 1900 the average height of an american man was about 5’7” and has increased as time went by. im guessing its because of what we eat… can u grow taller over a period of time based on what you eat or does it take generation to generation for it to increase
btw i am 5’6" at 18 yrs old. whats my the maximum i can reach? i’m guessing 5’7

I am worried that I will not grow anymore because I used to be much taller than most of my friends but now it seems that they are taller than me or close. I am 15 years old and i am 5′ 11" but it doesn’t seem that I have hit a growth spurt yet because I did alot of my growing before I hit puberty. Is it possible that I will not hit a major growth spurt or that I will hit one later than most guys my age? Also, this probably sounds stupid, but is it possible to grow taller naturally by doing special stretching or eating healthier(im a very picky eater)?

Im adopted so idk how tall my birth parents r, but im only 5’3 1/2" and need to get to 5’7" its a certain height requirement for something im trying out for. Im asian, 13 1/2 (bday in Feb) and got my . about 1 1/2 yrs ago. Will i be able to grow those 4 inches? I eat healthy and do daily stretches, sit ups, and pushup, but I dont do a sport. What can I do to improve my growing (ps-I have iron supplement pills that i take about once every 2 weeks, if i take them about every 1 or 2 a week, will they help? its ok if i do, my doctor told me, but will it help?)
I cant play basketball cuz the seaon already started and I cant join, so preferable exercises or courses outside of school, I cant hire a personal trainer, and I know I cant dramatically change my height, just give it a little boost

Okay so I am 14 and I got my period about 2yrs and a few months ago. Now I know that a lot of people say girls stop growing 2yrs after having their period but I grew 1/4 of an inch over the summer. I am 5"4, my mom is 5"5 and my dad is 6ft. Do you think ill get taller?

*NOTE: Im a vegetarian but i take supplements such as b12 &omega3
& on school days i go to sleep at 11pm and wake up at 7am

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?

Oh Hey ! What’s up?! How you doing ? lol

Alright here’s the deal
I’m 16, turning 17 in April and i’m 5"6
I’m thinking of majorly switching my lifestyle up cos i feel like i can still grow alot more cos my dad is 5"5 and so is my mom, but males on my mom’s side are GIANTS.
And my brother, who took most of my mom’s genes, just turned 15 this month and is 5"5! so he’s definitely gonna be tall when he’s around my age lol.
Well i have a high metabolism, I dont always smoke, but occasionally, I drink occasionally too, i never sleep early, i on average get like 4 or 5 hours of sleep everyday, I play basketball, but only once a week, during gym class in school, and i have really long legs but a short torso, i wear size 32 length trousers (and i’m a boy btw, i’m aware that most girls have naturally long legs) and really long hands(i can stand up straight and touch the top of my knee caps easily lol)

So this is my plan

I will make my sleep pattern better, having at least 8-9 hours of sleep each day, even on weekends.
I will have all 3 aquare meals each day, but what times will it be best for me to have those meals so that the nutrients will help me achieve maximum growth? Also, what kind of meals should i have? more protein? more carbs ? i dont know lol, please tell me

I will stop smoking, i might have a ciggarrete maybe every once in like a month or something, when i go to parties or something

^^ Same for drinking

I’m gonna become an avid swimmer as i hear swimming helps so i’ll go swimming for about an hour at least 5 times a week. What times would be most effective for me to swim to achieve maximum growth? p.s the swimming pool closes at 8 on weekdays and at 6 on weekends. And what strokes should i do to achieve maximum height, HGH secretion and all that?

I’m also gonna become more into basketball as i want to play in college and that

For breakfast, I’m most likely to have a cup of coffee along with my meal, but i’ll always drink a glass of milk before i go to bed. I tend to eat alot of eggs with breakfast so that should help cushion some of coffee’s calcium stealing activities right?

I also eat alot of meat and chicken, not enough vegetables but i’ll start that too

I’ll groom myself really well, practice good hygiene and everything

I’ll do pull ups,everyday, when i wake up, and before i go to bed, Probably like 40 a day

I’ll follow this plan rigorously then after like 2 or 3 months i’ll start to take some calcium supplements, amino acids and such? That okay?

I know height is in your genes and blah blah blah, but i know i should be tall, cos i’ve always had long legs, always been kinda tall till i was like 11 or 12 then everything started going slow, but i had some bad habits anyway.

I’m also gonna take an xray to see if my long bones have fused or closed or something which leaves me at my final height which i doubt.

I know Scotty Pippen grew over 4 inches after he was 22 in his NBA career and a bunch of other NBA stars, probably cos of the rigorous training? I don’t know but i know i should be wayyy taller than this

So what you think of the plan, sound good, any possibility of it working?
Also, please answer the questions i asked at the end of each resolution

Thank you
Best answer gets ten points

Hey, I’m really concerned about my height. Almost all my friends, even my 13 year old girlfriend are taller than me. My mom is only 5’2" and my dad isn’t quite six feet tall. I eat heavy meals rich in carbs and protein, I take calcium, magnesium and Vitamin B supplements and I exercise regularly but not excessively. I get eight to nine hours of sleep consistently.

And yet, I’ve only grown half an inch since spring, and only 1.5 inches since last summer.

What can I do to grow?
Thanks SLBSH but Im more looking for ways to artificially increase my growth. Like, other supplements that I should take, or medication, or really anything. I have my short mom’s bone structure and I’m worried that I won’t get much taller unless I overcome my genetics.
