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.

I’m 14 going on 15<—in may
I’m 4’8
i”m tired of people calling me names and stuff
any tips on how to grow taller like around 5’0 and above.
i sleep around 10:00 and wake up 6:00 for school.
on weekends i got to bed at 10:00-1200 and don’t wake up til 9:00.
Is it because I’m sleeping late?
What age you stop growing?
plus what exercise help me grown taller?
or food?

Okay, I’m 13 years old. In the 7th grade. I am only 4’9. i hit puberty in 3rd grade, and had my period in 4th grade. I haven’t grown ANY in over a year, and a year ago I grew two inches in one month after going almost a year without growing.

I drink coffee which has a lot of caffeine in it.. (i think caffeine stunts your growth, right?) My mom is like 5’4 or something in that area and my dad is 5’7 or 5’6 or a few inches taller. Some people say that you don’t stop growing until you are like 21 but my mom quit growing for a while at 16 then grew another inch when she was 18 and thats it.

I’m italian…. =/ I think that matters kinda cuz a lot of people say that italians have a tendency to be pretty short..

I eat pretty healthily and get.. well, decent sleep. On week nights about 5-6 hours and on weekends and on holidays and stuff I get about 10-12 hours ( because school gets in the way XP )

I’m just worried cuz I haven’t been growing a lot and it bugs me.. I wanna be able to reach certain things! lol and one of my friends told me that you quit growing 3 years after puberty O.o I mean I know that isn’t right but it doesn’t make me feel any better… lol

another thing.. lol umm my mom said the shortest person in family history that she can remember was like 5’1. I have a feeling that I will be that short.. I just want to at least make it to about 5’3 if i can.

i know that it takes a while to grow and i’m young and stuff but, i think i need just a little.. boost. you know? just to help me out.!

Are there like supplements or something I can take (healthy ones, not dangerous ones. =P ) or maybe some herbal or aromatherepy stuff or something. [My mom used to give me some herbal oil and stuff sometimes to help me grow but it never works =/ ]

basically, just give me basic tips that could really help.. i’m desperate. lol
and btw if i didnt hit puberty in third grade then why did i start growing boobs? =P

I am 14, at 5’10. I need to become taller, my goal is about 6’3/ don’t worry, my dad is still taller than me, even tho he’s almost 60. But I do lift weights at the gym. I dont do anything heavy,, like benchpresses. I do pulldowns, crunches, chests, work out my legs, and i dont do anything that requires my legs to lift up my weight. I also take calcium supplements(vitamin d included), get around 7 hours of sleep, and i do strewching excercises hoping i will get taller. Will any of this help me grow? I know most of you will say ill get taller naturally, but not as tall as i want to be. will it help? thanks in advance!

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.

Im 5’11 and my mom is 5’6 and my dad is 6’1. Im 15 and a half years old and im asian. Im jumping 50 times in the air every weekday and 100 on weekends.(My bro told me that jumping increases height cuz it stretches out the limbs in the legs and knees or somethin like that). I get at least 8 hours of sleep everyday and I also run average per week. People say that i need to exercise more, but they never are specific to what kinds of exercises.
Can I grow taller or am I done? my mom said she stopped growing in junior high and my dad grew 3 inches in high school.Im the second son( i heard the second son is always taller). My bro is 5’10 wen he was a freshman but injured his knee and he stopped growing.(he’s a college fresh now)
So any help on if I can still grow? or if I’m stuck… Oh yeah… im a baseball pitcher and I need to grow. Please help
Can i still grow?
What can i do to ensure maximum growth?
Does jumping increase height too?
Im not drinking any caffeine( I make sure of it) and also I havent grown since about near the end of 7th grade

well…im 13 almost 14 next february and im only like 5’1 and 1/3.. so many of my friends are taller than me and they’re even taller than their parents who are short.. sometimes they even make fun of my height and its like rude but i wish they could like stop. i play volleyball and its like my favoritttee sport ever and im scared i wont make it into the high school team cause i aint tall enough ); i exercise alot, get plenty of sleep, drink alot of milk, eat veggies, etc. i never got my period yet either and all of my friends who are taller already have had it for a year or so, but idk if that has anything to do with height or growth spurts. i know height is genetic but besides that, what can i do to grow as much as i can naturally before middle school is over?

Im a male,So im turning 15 this april and im 5’0. my mom is like 5’1 and dad like 5’3 yeah short. but my moms grandpa and her whole side was pretty tall and my dad side is short im guessing? Im look more like my dad but im think im growing like on my moms side, cause my mom doesnt reallyy get acne and my dad does and so my brother is taking from that. SOOO what i want to know is the a chance ill grow super tall like on my moms side? and what are some tips to gaining a few inches before your growth spurt?. Like how to sleep and what MAINLY to eat, and ect THANKS GUYS

Which will make me grow taller faster, Growee or Cherifer (do you know these brands?)? If you don’t know these, these are food supplements most intended to make a person grow taller. You see, I’m 14 turning 15 on April and I’m just 4’11". Right the growth spurt for boys ends at 16? I really want to grow much taller. I’ve seen the same old advice of milk, sleep, and exercise. I can’t drink milk because I’m lactose intolerant. I can’t really sleep enough or have time for exercise (though I’m not fat) because of those dumb homeworks taking all my time. Okay let’s not get carried away now and just answer my question.

My friend is 12 years old she is about to be 13 in a week, she is 5’1-5’2, she is scared that she won’t grow, because her mom is 5’4 and her dad is 5’7 ish 8. What is her estimated height? What can she do to grow taller?
what should she eat? How much should she sleep? How much exercise? And what kind of exercises should she do?
What are more tips? please no pills, only natural ways
Oh and what age does an average girl stop growing?

The only tips she knows is sleep and milk.
PS Whoever gives me the most and useful tips gets best answer!
