Is there any way to grow taller in age19 please answer me soon?
Hello i am an 18 year old male that is 5’5 inches tall. I live in india
I was wondering is there any chance of me growing any taller? I am taller than my mother, grandmother and grandfather by like 4 inches. And my Father by like 1-2 inches.
I think i was an early sprouter, when i was 12 i was taller than everyone, and slowly along these years i have not grew much, all my friends are taller than me.
Unfortunately, when i was around 12-13, i started working out, (pushups weights) but nothing vertical lifting because it might stunt my growth.
I also consumed creatine, not too much, maybe have of 500mg.
Can this have a negative impact on my growth?
Some good news i heard from my mother was that my 2 uncles (mother side) grew again when around 19-20 years old about 3 inches more (another growth spurt)
Will this affect me?
I really would want to know how to grow taller through nutrition, diet, excersice, or other techniques (but nothing unnatural). I am really desperate to grow taller because it is impacting my confidence because i look at my friends and others at school at my age, and other asian males my age are all taller than me =(
It is making me depressed that i am shorter than everyone =(
I will be 19 in 3 months. Please tell me anything you can to help me!
THANKS!

This is an answer recently given to a similar question. The general consensus is you can do very little to grow taller. But from what I’ve seen in this long life of mine some things always happen to make us question that assumption. For instance
when I was 13 or14, in my class was Johnna who towered over us. Suddenly it was reversed. He stopped growing and we became taller than him as 15 and 16 year olds.
Just look at Michael Jordan. In high school he was only 5′ 9” and couldn’t make the basketball team. Suddenly his height surged. What happened? Was his desire and thought power so strong that it galvanized such a remarkable height surge later? Also, Arnold Schwarzenneger described himself as once being a small, skinny runt. I don’t need to say more. From my own experiences of intensely pursuing some visualization exercises and esoteric yoga practices taught me by a remarkable omniscient Indian guru, I really believe we have the capacity to perform changes in our bodies, appearance and in other ways. Mine, including facial features, changed quite dramatically in just a few months by pursuing the latter many hours a day. At the same time I was following a very strict and very healthy diet which I never wavered from and exercised a great deal, and lead a very healthy life style. I didn’t get taller – I’m already that, but other changes that I wanted to happen, where very noticable, even remarkable and remarked upon by everyone. Genetics do not absolutely determine anything. My parents were small – mother 5-’4" father 5′-7”. I am 5′-11.5” and two brothers are taller. Remember that it’s not your immediate parents that matter anyway – influences are from previous generations. There were tall (and short) ones in our family tree. Clearly, the Chinese and others have now become much taller than their considerably smaller previous generations – attributed to large changes in diet. But changes where over many generations. So though diet is of tremendous importance, to have a spurt in gaining height in one lifetime is not on the books. But I do believe anything and everything is possible! Intense visualization and yoga practices, which I still pursue, holds the most promise. Regarding your depression; when younger we are hypersensitive about everything. I suffered a lot because I was a puny kid and a misfit. I Am grateful now because it made me start seeking within. I also came across wonderful teachers, inspirational books that totally transformed me. I recommend – The Game of Life and How To Play It by Florence Scovel Shinn. Hope this is helpful. Hope you attain great heights! I can be emailed – (see profile)
Boys usually grows till there 25. But be happy with what u got that what God meant for u to be.
take vitamins…
jump at New Years’…
i think it’s on your blood, if yer offsprings are tall then ye should, if not then you could be not…
You may grow a LITTLE more, but probably not much. As others have said, height isn’t the most important thing in the world.
Find a woman that will appreciate you for who you are.
NO WAY TO GROW TALLER AFTER PUBERTY.
Bones do not grow throughout their length. They grow from growth centers, called the epiphysis, near their ends. When a person reaches puberty, growth centers close one after the other until all the growth centers are closed forever and a person’s bones can never grow again. After that, a person can grow wider, but not taller.’
Don’t feel bad about it! Who cares!
