I want to be grow taller. I beg with my friends that I will taller than them in two years. I’m 5’5 ft and 17. We actually wrote down the paper that so, and my signature. My parents are both short. But I believe I could grow more in the future, there are plenty of pills and stuff that i could try. Eating habits, sleeping, exercise and stuffs. I’m kind of optimistic, at least give them a try.
If Im not grow anymore, there is nothing worth to live! sigh

*sigh*I wish we could trade parents… My mom: 5’9 Dad: 6’4 I want to be short… I’m only 12 and at your height
Stretch!!!! Stretching really works. My friend stretches every night for at least a half an hour and she is getting taller. Leg stretches work, try in the morning and the evening.
Steps
Nutrition—— Include all of the following substances in your meals. They’re essential for helping your body grow to its maximum natural potential.
Vitamins- vitamins are organic substances necessary for life and essential for growth. To receive the proper vitamin intake, a well-balanced diet is recommended. However, supplements may be taken where needed but not as a substitute for food. Supplements should be taken after each square meal, or once after the largest meal for proper absorption.
.
Note: Common deficiencies are noted in vegetarians and high protein consumers. Vitamin B complex formula should include all the B complex vitamins so far discussed plus other important vitamins vital to the growth process. Be sure to read labels and check with your pharmacist to make sure your formula includes the proper amounts of each vitamin best suited to your needs.
Minerals- minerals are inorganic substance found naturally in the earth. They make up a large part of our bones and teeth and help regulating other body functions. Here are some of the minerals to which you should pay special attention.
Calcium – it aids for strengthening soft bones and teeth, and helps maintain regular heartbeat. Milk and dairy products, sardines, soybeans, dried beans, and green vegetables contain large amounts of calcium. A supplement of 600 to 1500 mg per day is recommended.
Chromium – it aids in growth process, and helps prevent and lower high blood pressure. The best sources for it are meat, brewer’s yeast, clams, chicken, shellfish. A supplement of 90 mcg. per day is average for adults.Chlorine – it helps keep your body limber, and aids digestion by cleansing system. It can be found in table salt, kelp, and olives. A recommended supplement dosage has not been determined. However, an average daily salt intake should be more than sufficient.
Fluoride – it strengthens bones and reduces tooth decay. It is found in fluoridated drinking water, seafoods and gelatin. A necessary amount of supplement has yet to be determined, but most people get sufficient amounts from fluoridated drinking water. Available by prescription in areas without fluoridated drinking water. Additional fluoride should not be taken unless advised by a physician.
Iodide – it promotes growth, provides energy and burns excess fat. The best sources for iodide are kelp, salt, all seafood, onions, and vegetables grown in iodine-rich soil. A good amount of supplement is 80 to 150 mcg. per day for adults. Iodine aids in the proper functioning of the thyroid gland which fosters and regulates growth. Check your salt to see if it is iodized along with your vitamins or multi?mineral preparations. Too much iodine can cause a harmful effect. For additional supplements of iodine not discussed, a physician’s advice is recommended.
Iron – it aids growth, prevents fatigue, helps form hemoglobin in blood, and aids for good skin tone. You can find it in liver, beef kidney, egg yolk, oysters, cereals, raw clams, and red meat. A supplement of 10 to 18 mg per day is sufficient. Check your iron supplement to see if it contains "Ferrous Sulfate" an inorganic iron which can destroy vitamin E in your system. Try to avoid this preparation. For women, whose bodies use much more iron than men’s, a supplement is most likely needed.
Magnesium – it aids the cardiovascular system, aids nerve and muscle functions, and is needed for calcium and vitamin C metabolism. It is found in figs, apples, grapefruits, lemons, seeds, nuts, yellow corn and dark green vegetables. A necessary amount of supplement is 300 to 400 mg. daily. If you live in area with hard drinking water, or consume large amounts of nuts, seeds and green vegetables, you’re probably getting sufficient amounts of magnesium.
Phosphorus – it aids growth and provides energy. The best sources for it are fish, poultry, eggs, meats, nuts, seeds and whole grains. As for supplements, RDA is 800 to 1200 mg per day for adults. Most diets already include adequate amounts of phosphorus or "phosphates" in them, so check before taking a supplement.
Other important minerals are:
Potassium – Sources include: citrus fruits, watercress, bananas, potatoes and green vegetables.
Sodium – Sources include: salt, shellfish, carrots, beets, bacon and kidney.
Sulfur – Sources include: lean beef, fish eggs, cabbage and dried beans.
Zinc – Sources include: steak, eggs, lamb chops, brewer’s yeast and pumpkin seeds.
Proteins- everyone’s protein requirements are different, depending upon your size, age and physical condition. A large, young person will require more protein than a small, older person. Proteins have different functions, and work in different areas of the body. There are basically two types of protein: complete and incomplete protein.
Complete Protein: provides the proper balance of eight necessary amino acids that build tissues, and are found in foods of animal organ such as meats, poultry, seafoo

hi dear

follow these simple tips to increase your height
- Do stretching exercises. By stretching the body, you can help correct posture. Many people do not know that they can gain two to three inches of height simply by correcting their posture. You will also look leaner. Some stretching exercises include yoga and pilates.
- Get a cosmetic leg-lengthening procedure. Be warned that this procedure is expensive and painful. It consists of fracturing bones and slowly stretching them apart to allow new bone to grow in its place, giving the patient a few more inches of height.
- Increase the calcium in your diet. Calcium helps with bone growth and could help you gain stronger bones and possibly even a little more height. The height may not be noticeable with calcium alone but it could help if used in conjunction with other ways to increase height.
- Eat leafy greens. Vitamin K is found in most leafy greens, including spinach, broccoli and asparagus. Vitamin K is important in growing large, healthy bones because it allows your body to produce osteocalcin, a protein supplement.
- Exercise regularly, focusing on your lower back and stomach. Strengthening these areas of the body helps stretch your vertebral column
good luck
