I feel that im too skinny, and i just want to be fatter. how can i gain a little bit weight, and still exercise. what foods and exercises? and how can i become taller?

I am interested in adding an inch or two to my height and came across several sites for elevator shoes. The best looking ones I found are TOTTII brand on itallershoes.com.

Has anyone ever tried these or seen them? I am hesitant to buy them unless I can determine that they don’t look/feel weird or are too noticeable.

Please don’t respond with comments about insecurity or being happy with my height. I am 5’11 and would like to be around 6’0-6’1. (I realize the 2.8-3.2 inch gain is a bit of a marketing ploy as regular shoes give you about an inch to inch and a half gain)

I heard about a vitamin drink over the radio years ago that claimed to have properties to it that could result in the drinker growing taller. It also claimed that it would work on anyone up to their mid-twenties. Two of my younger siblings and myself could all use it. We are looking for an alternative to growth hormones. Thanks so much!

i am 14 and i think 4 "11" or something like that. Im always getting made fun of because of my height and girls just look at me like a cute little brother. What are things that can help me grow faster.
Also my parents arent that short and my brother who is 16 is taler then my mom.

I am 21 and im 5’2. What are some ways to naturally or artificially increase my height? If i take growth hormone pills how much will i grow and how long would it take ? What are some stretching exercises i can do to increase my height by a few inches? I really want to grow a little taller at-least 5’5.

Well. About 4months ago. I went into a Eating disorder and didn’t Eat alot. Im 13 btw. Im 5’5 or 5’7 at the moment. But i didn’t eat… And i really think it might of stunted my growth and i wont grow at all. It’s depressing… Is there anyway i can naturally grow taller? Because food is more of a "Fuel" for your growth. Thanks… I try to eat about 1500 Calories daily now. But you know. I take a Multivitamin everyday (with iron) and I eat a banana everyday for lunch/brunch.

Thanks…

I went from 168lbs to 130lbs. just feel fairly short. But people are saying im getting taller. But you know.

I’m 13, a little under 5’1", and I want to be taller!
I know I am still growing, but my mom is 5’4", my sister is 18 and 5’5", and my dad is about 5’7".
Are there any natural ways I can be taller? I know posture is a big part of it, so I try to sit up. I also know about Vitamin K.
Anything else? Thanks!

Well…hi! =)
I didn’t consider my height as a problem till now.
I’m 156 cm tall and I would like to be even more taller..it would be enough for me to be 160 cm tall.
But the problem is..that I don’t know how to grow taller without taking any medicine. I want to grow taller in a short time, a very short time, but with doing exercises or taking some food that would help me get on height.
It’s really important and I would be really thankful if you help me.
Thanks! =)

Im 16, female, and 5 foot 5. My mum’s taller than me, and my dads around 6 ft. I’m only a size 4.5 in shoes, and most of my friends are all taller than me.. Is there any chance i’ll grow much more? I’d rather be a bit taller..:( also, is there anything i can do that will help me get taller?

Hello~
What happened to natural, healthy beauty? Why is almost everyone wearing tons of makeup to have to feel pretty? I’m 12 and just wear chapstick, lol, sometimes just burt’s bees color lip balm thing. I’ve never really liked girls who coated themselves with makeup. And thats what all the media advertises these days. So, its hard to find advice in finding healthy, natural looking beautiful advice. Could someone give me some advice about how to look naturally pretty? Thanks. Basically, any type of advice works, but I do have preference. For example, I have OK lips, but I want them to be or look fuller, is there any way tot do that? I have full but short eyelashes, is there any way I could have full AND long lashes? I have acne, and I am using AcneFree right now, I steam my face(?) once a week, do a mud mask, mosturize, basically the normal stuff. Any other advice, besides drink water, I’m already working on that. Could you give me a recipe of how to make a body scrub thats really good for my skin and make it glow. Should I use the scrub before I shave or after? If you don’t have a recipe, could you give a brand name and where I could buy it? Sorry if I’m asking so many question, don’t have an older girl sibling and my mom is absolutly clueless in this kind of stuff because she is like born like a run way model. Many people say my mom and I look exactly alike, but what else can they say? Because if they say we don’t, some people get offended. I want to grow to 5’5 but I am 5’0 right now. Any advice on how to grow taller? I am 12. Does milk make you grow taller?

Thank you all for taking the time to read and answer my question…s..

Love you all~

Is it that people who are naturally tall join basketball because it is advantageous to be tall in that sport, and so they know they could be successful?

Or, do you think that people who join basketball, regardless of their initial height, grow tall because of all the jumping and their minds recognize that it would be advantageous to be taller and so their bodies grow?

Please, I need to know.

im 16
gunna be 17 in a few months.
im only 5’8" and wanna grow just one more inch
for this modeling thing..anyways
my dad stopped growing when he was 21 and hes 6’3"
my mom.. she stopped early.. but shes only 5’5"..
i figure ill be around 5’9"-10"
what are some ways i can get taller?
Thanks!

I’m 19 and 5’4. Back home (Japan) I was still considered short but had no trouble getting girls. But now overseas, many girls are the same height or taller than I am! I didn’t care about it, but now at college, I tend to feel that Height is a much bigger factor here. So I have a QUESTION for the ladies: What do you think of shorter guys? Would you go out with them if they were goodlooking smart and nice although they are vertically challenged?And What do you think of shoe lifts?

Im normally a confident person but this issue is quite depressing. Any experience with shorter guys is welcome! Help this man to regain his confidence! Thanks a lot

I’m 13 & 5’2.5/5’3. My dad is 6’1, Mom is 5’0, Sister is 5’6. I want to grow taller so I can be a better swimmer. I got my period in September of 06, but it’s not regular yet, if that makes a difference. So I wanna know how tall I COULD grow, and what I can do to grow taller. thanks!

IMBRA: Anatomy of a feminist hoax

Carey Roberts Carey Roberts

September 26, 2007

Want a textbook example how the Left manufactures a crisis, passes a law that rolls back Constitutional protections, snookers card-carrying conservatives, and bilks American taxpayers? Look no farther than IMBRA, the International Marriage Broker Regulation Act.

A little background: It’s no secret that conditions in post-socialist Russia are grim. Author Sonya Luehrmann recounts how women desperately search to find a husband "to put one’s personal life in order, to settle down with a stable family."

And here in the United States, some men find American ladies to be a little too, shall we say, high-maintenance for their tastes.

Before long over 200 match-making services around the world had sprouted up like a clutch of springtime tulips.

A few years ago University of Pittsburgh professor Nicole Constable set out to probe the inner workings of these dating agencies. In her book Romance on a Global Stage, Constable revealed the international match-makers were simply responding to a human need for companionship and love. Many men who marry foreign brides "went to great lengths to ensure their partner’s comfort and happiness in the United States," she noted.

But feminists are rankled by any hint that their nostrum for female liberation may be curtailing American women’s marriage prospects. Worse, some of these foreign women actually aspire to be mothers and homemakers. Imagine that!

So the Sourpuss Sisters conspired to put the kibosh on the operation. They knew convincing Congress to regulate romance would be a hard sell. So they resorted to their tried and true formula of hackneyed stereotypes, outright demagoguery, and appeals to male chivalry.

It was Senator Maria Cantwell of Washington who quarterbacked the legislative strategy. First she brandished the notion of "mail-order brides," casting foreign women as victims of predatory males. Then she dubbed international dating services as "marriage brokers," conjuring up the image of a rogue operation trading lives for dollars.

On July 13, 2004 the Senate Foreign Relations Committee scheduled a hearing to air the issue. No dating services or happily-betrothed foreign women were invited to testify — their comments would not likely fit the script.

During her testimony, Cantwell made the startling claim that match-making services serve as a nefarious front for international human trafficking. She concluded, "there is a growing epidemic of domestic abuse among couples who meet via international marriage brokers." As proof of that "epidemic," she highlighted the cases of three abused women.

Cantwell’s depiction of comely maidens being seduced into prostitution rings was more than Sen. Sam Brownback could resist, and before long he signed on as a leading co-sponsor of the International Marriage Broker Regulation Act. With liberals and conservatives now on board, IMBRA’s political star was rising.

But it turns out that Senator Cantwell’s supposition that dating services drag women into a life of sex slavery and indentured servitude was nothing more than a feminist tall-tale.

There was the U.S. Immigration and Naturalization Service report that revealed, "less than 1 percent of the abuse cases now being brought to the attention of the INS can be attributed to the mail-order bride industry." [http://www.uscis.gov/portal/site/uscis/menuitem.5af9bb95919f35e66f614176543f6d1a/?vgnextoid=9ba5d0676988d010VgnVCM10000048f3d6a1RCRD&vgnextchannel=2c039c7755cb9010VgnVCM10000045f3d6a1RCRD]

A second analysis soberly concluded that foreign brides are "dramatically less likely to be involved in domestic violence as calculated by the Intimate Partner Murder Rate." [www.online-dating-rights.com/forum/index.php?topic=544.0]

And earlier this week the Washington Post reported that early estimates of up to 100,000 human trafficking victims being secreted into the United States each year were grossly exaggerated. Despite more than 0 million of taxpayer dollars diverted to a massive search and rescue effort, it turns out the actual number of trafficking victims is closer to 200 annually. [www.msnbc.msn.com/id/20929223]

But in the politically-correct atmosphere that envelopes Washington these days, agendas count for more than the truth.

So after the gavel fell on the Senate hearing, the International Marriage Broker Regulation Act was bundled into the Violence Against Women Act. That law was signed into law on January 5, 2006. A few days later, Fox News columnist Wendy McElroy castigated the act as branding all American men as "abusers." [www.ifeminists.net/introduction/editorials/2006/0111.html]

Now, any man who wishes to go through an international dating company must submit to an extensive background check. That’s right, guys, get ready to tell them about your arrests, criminal history, restraining orders, how many times you’ve been married, and even how many children you have. For good measure, don’t forget the sex offender registry check.

So thanks to Senator Cantwell’s artful dissembling and Senator Brownback’s white-horse chivalry, men are presumed to be a threat to foreign women. And Cupid’s arrow now falls under the watchful eyes of green-visored bureaucrats.
