But I’m 4’11". I had read somewhere that you must be at least 5’4" or taller, is this true? And if it is is there anyway I could grow taller naturally? I’ve had this dream for 2 years now, and I’m extremely reluctant to give up now. I can’t see myself doing anything else. Also something was mentioned about being disqualified for having asthma and allergies after age 12, would they make an exception if you stopped showing signs of asthma and allergies after age 16? Because thats whats on my medical records. All advise is well appreciated, thank you!

Hi, I am a fourteen year old girl who is 5 feet 2 and a half inches. I grew half an inch this year. Is it possible that I can grow 2-4 more inches in high school? My mom is 5 ft. three inches and my dad is 6 ft. one inch. I have a lot of my dad’s characteristics, including having one leg shorter than the other. I pretty much have the same build as him, long, lean legs. Because I have so much in common with him, do you think I could grow taller? Do you have any tips on how to grow taller naturally? Thank you!

So, I am am 16 year old and about 5’10/5’11. I would like to be 6’1 or 6’2. What can I do to grow a few more inches?

So my cousin wants me to help her about her height since she doesn’t have a Yahoo account yet.
Uhm, she’s turning 12 on October and only about 55 or 54/12 inches so that’s like 4’7 (about 139-140cm). She’s one of the shortest people in her class, and wants to change that.
Is there any naturally way(s) that can grow taller? And when does your growth spurt starts (She hasn’t started her period yet)? She knows it’s all about genetics, etc.
Oops, I meant to put 54 1/2. (:
*that she can grow taller

lol. sorry about that.

I want to reach my maximum height. I’m a girl 14 and 5ft8 and my mum is 5ft6-7 and my dad is 5ft10-11. I started when I was 11 nearly 12 and i’m also wandering have I stopped growing?

I am 15 and about 5’9". To most people this is really tall, but i am a volleyball player and to play in college at my position you have to be just a little taller. The thing is i had my growth spurt in my early year and haven’t really grown but 1-3 inches in about 3 years. What can i do to help increase my height?

I just turned 18 years old not too long ago and I’m 5’6. I’m about 135 and in good athletic shape but I’m just really self-conscience about my height. It’s weird because my dad is 6’3 and most men on my dads side of the family are 5’10 or taller. But my mom is 5’2 which is probably where I got my height from. Men on her side are mixed, some are 6’0 but some are short like me.

I really just want another 3 inches and that’s all, just to be 5’9 I’d be satisfied. My orthodics for my flat fleet already give me another inch when wearing shoes but I want to be naturally taller. One of my uncles (on moms side) didn’t stop growing until he was about 26 and grew from 5’8 to 6’0.
I just want to know the likelihood of me growing anymore, and when. and if there are any exercises or pills or something I can take to help.

Thanks

I want to naturally with out the pills

Im 5 ’3…Im going to the 10th grade and i havent grown since the 7th grade

So I’m a 16 yr old guy and I’m 6 foot 9. I don’t like being so tall, everywhere I go a lot of people stare at me and I think I’m the tallest guy in my entire school. My body looks fine and is in proportion. There is nothing wrong with my skull or anything like that. I don’t have pain anywhere, i’m not weak, and I can work out with no problem. I have low blood pressure and my kidneys are functioning very well. I weight 203 lbs and that is normal weight. So I don’t think I have gigantism. I’m currently playing basketball and working out, do you think that is what is causing it? I never take steroids. Genetics probably doesn’t have anything to do with it cuz my father is 5 foot 9, my mother is 5 foot 6, my sister is 5 foot 7, and my brother is 5 foot 8. Am I just about done growing or is there still more inches to come? Is there anything I can do to either make myself shorter or stop my growth if I’m still growing?? I want to do it naturally, not by medicine or drugs. And do you girls like tall guys?

If you know someone that you think is on the unhealthy path to an eating disorder, what would you be looking for to confirm it?
I am not sure if this is anorexia or an ED. The girl in question has always been naturally skinny/thin even as a child, had to be forced to finish meals, always been a picky eater, stayed the same weight since she was 19 (she is 25 now) even though she’s grown a few inches taller in those years. Her BMI is in the underweight category though not morbidly so (BMI of 17.5). Takes a very long time to eat each meal. Prefers substituting a meal with milkshakes if she can. Carefully avoids junk food but eats anything with a high carb content (rice, pasta, noodles, etc.) and cannot do without milk/curd daily. Occasionally has fainting spells/light headedness (esp. around period time). Does not always feel hungry and can go for hours without eating. Lives by choice a very sedentary lifestyle.
However she does not check for calorie content and does not check her weight. The half-yearly weighing check-in is all she knows of her weight, which does not fluctuate too much and has not left the mark it was on five years ago.
She is not interested in food and would rather do without it and often does until she loses energy and blood sugar drops so low that she faints and becomes nauseated.
Why so little interest in food?

Im 13 and 5’3, going in to 9th grade. My dad is like 5’5 and my mom is 5’1.. ive been growing in the past year, while drinkingmilk and having alot of protein. my grandpa is like 6’1, but my grandma is like 4’11 or 5’0. the rest of my family are all average height..i want to be at least 5’9 one day. could this happen naturally?

I am 15, almost 16 and I am 5’5 1/2, maybe 5’6. I am a late bloomer, I didn’t get my period until 14 and my dad grew until he was 21. Im not sure about my mom, 18 I think. My mom is 5’7 and my dad is 5’10. I’m 100% polish so the polish build is naturally tall and lean, I weigh something like 105 pounds. Anyways, I want to model (I’ve been to several agencies that said I have the perfect face/body type except for my height and though I’ve landed a few jobs I can’t get anything serious unless I grow. Just to let you know, height genetics in my family are quite varied. Its like their more environment influenced than gene influenced. For example my cousins from my moms side are both over 6 foot (an one is a girl) but their parents are pretty short. My cousins from my dads side didn’t follow their parents height at all. My aunts kids for example are all over 6 foot, the tallest is 6’4 and theyre guys by the way but they are all very athletic. Their mom is 5’3 and their dad is 5’7 but theyre giants. On the other hand my uncles kids (girls) are petite. They are 5’1 and 5’4 but their mom and dad are both 5’9. However they are not very athletic. I’ll do anything that has to do with excercise except swimming because I don’t have regular access to a pool. I’ll also take pills/supplements. As far as diet goes I need recommendations that will also keep me skinny because ofcourse that is essential to modeling. My guess is lean meats, fish, and vegetables but I could be wrong. My goal is to be atleast 5’8 so thats only 2 more inches but idealy I’d like to be 5’10. I’ve heard that 4 inches is possible, especially when done at a young age and I have atleast 3 years before my growth plates fuse. Any advice is greatly appreciated! Oh also, if its at all possible I’d like to get to 5’8 in one year because thats when I get my braces off and I can restart modeling. Thanks!!
Just to clarify: by pills I meant vitamins like calcium and stuff. Will that help?

My son has always been little because he was born a premie. He was 3 months early so that will definitely make him smaller then the other kids for a while. He is about to start preschool and when he went for his physical, the doctor said he is underweight. He is 4 and weighs 30lbs and he is 40 in tall.

The thing is, I have never been quite on point with weight either. I was 97lbs my senior year! And my husband is very skinny as well. I don’t want to stuff my son filled with food. He eats like me, little snacks throughout the day as well as the 3 meals a day.

Should I be worried about what the doctor said, or should I just let hi grow naturally?

Okay, I’m currently just turned 16 and I’m a fluent weightlifter. I’m 5’4 I have been lifting weights since I was 14. My dad’s 5’10, mom is 5’4, little brother that 12 5’0, and my oldest brother is 6’1. So is there anyway that I can my myself taller and don’t give me that genetic crap because every male on my mother side of the family is over 6 feet and the men on my dad side are not short but only my brother and one of my uncles is over 6 feet, the other is 5’7, but my grandpa was over 6 feet and my dad was 5’10 since he was 13, he stunt his growth because of an illness, so should stop lifting weights, but I’m at 215 on my bench and really not considering that, so is there anyway you guys can help me out a little.

Right here it goes….. I want to know abouts when I will start my period, please help! Im 13 and less than a month away from being 14, my mum started her period when she was 13 – 14.5, she cant really remember… I started developing breasts over 2 and a half years ago, and I have quite a lot of hair down their, bushy and dark.. I have discharge most days, and I recently started to get underarm hair and now have to shave their. I recently grew and inch or two, and I’m naturally tall as it is, and my height is now 5.58 feet!? Ahah, I’m quite skinny and recently I’ve been having mood swings, and cramps which I don’t normally get! Also, may sound wierd… But for the past week/weeks, i’ve had like a few pains in my vagina area, only for a minute or two, then they go?! They occur every other day now really… Please help me! Thanks:)

So I’m turning 15 in about 3 months, so right now its summer and I’m 14. In seventh grade I was 4’10, and I just finished 9th grade at 5’6. But, I’m still really short. My mom is 5 feet and my dad is 6 feet, and I’m 100% Chinese, making me a lil’ short. But, I would like to get much taller. Is there a way to grow like 4 inches naturally? Or am I still due for another growth spurt soon. What foods should I eat/drink? I drink milk and Orange juice with Calcium and Vitamin D. Help I don’t wanna be short forever!

plz give a good answers and if ur gonna give a dumbass answer dont even try

I’m 14 now but 15 in september. I am around 5 foot 3 which is considered quite tall in my family,but that’s because i’m from an east asian family (though my twin brother is tall and my dad).
Anyway, I used to be definitely above average in height in primary school and average in year 7, but now alot of people who were shorter than me are taller than me and my twin brother cameron was always shorter than me and since high school he shot up. Though, i guess he’s a guy and that happens but same with shorter girls who have shot up above me too.
I have been this height for a while now (I have a height chart on my wall), around half a year ago, i was growing veryy slowly like 2 cm every 2 or 3 months but now i’ve seemed to stay around this height pretty much since. I don’t think i’ve had a growth spurt or will have one or is it that i’m just growing VERYY slowly?
Also, I had my period before alot of my friends and developed before too, but my breasts are only a size 34A which is really small compared to ALOT of girls my age and some even in the year below. I’ve stayed this size for about a year or less as well.
I’m 41kg and I know this is quite light, but trust me, I eat alot. I think it’s because I have a high metabolism or i’m quite sporty. And I get around 8 or 7 hours sleep, but I do eat quite a healthy diet.

Is it possible i’m not growing to grow much taller than this? I am taller by a few cm than my mum, she’s about 5 foot 3 and my dad’s around 5 foot 10, my twin brother is 5 foot 7 and my other brother (17) is around 5 foot 6 or 7.

Is there any thing I could do to help my growing increase faster naturally? Or any other tips? Is there a way to check that you are still growing (Apart from height and breast size obviously, since these don’t seem to help-this is a bit stupid this question ha ha)
I know that girls don’t stop growing till around 18 but could it be different because i’m asian and to do with my parents genes?

P.S I heard junk food is supposed to stunt growth but I guess I eat quite balanced. Though, I like to eat sweets like most teens but I don’t eat them too regularly. And sorry and thanks for taking the time to read this 5 year long question. Aha
