Well, you are still young, so there is always a chance you will grow, especially because your parents are both taller than you. If you don’t grow at all, you should get it checked out because that could be a health issue.
but here are some tips to help your body reach it’s genetic maximum in height.
first, cut out junk food. eat healthy. if you smoke, stop. if you drink caffeine, stop. Those 2 things can stunt your growth tragically. Eat lots of protein, calcium, vitamin D…eat healthy basically.
second, exercise. don’t weight lift, but go jogging, do stretches, play a sport like basketball or something.
and last, but not least, make sure you sleep 8-9 hours a night. most of your growth is done while you sleep. so make sure you sleep a full night, and make sure you sleep in a dark room, to help you sleep better.
again, it’s all your genetics. if your genes won’t let you pass 4’11", then you are stuck at 4’11". if your genes want you to be 7 feet tall, but you aren’t healthy, you’ll never reach that height. So do what I said, and have hope.
Sorry dear, but you can’t make yourself taller. You’ve probably got more growing to do – just give it time! You could always try putting lifts in your shoes to look taller, but you can’t do anything to make yourself grow. Try and be happy just the way you are!
Oh crikey I’m sick of people asking this, can you do some research and you’ll learn quicker than anything, you CANNOT MAKE YOURSELF GROW TALLER! Geez
