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 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?

So I am a 19 year old guy. From what I can remember and see in pictures i havnt grown more than an inch or so in a bout 2 to 3 years. I am 5’7.5" now on a good day or with shoes about 5’8"…I dont consider my self short but I am not tall either. I think average is 5’9" but whenever I compare myself to other guys i always come out shorter!!! obviously I hit puberty a long time ago. I wear size 11 shoes but I cant grow much more that thick peach fuzz on my chin and a light mustache…sooo does that mean I will still grow and hit a "second puberty"??? Please let me know if I can still grow or if you have similar stories! Thanks

PS. Would you consider me short right now??

Ok, I’m going to be 15 in a couple of weeks, and I still haven’t started my period or had spotting or anything. I used to desperately want to start it but now I don’t really care, but I am very worried that there is something wrong with me as in I won’t be able to have children.
I am 5’6”-5’7” so really quite tall
About 115 lbs (naturally thin)
I’ve had vaginal discharge for 5 years now. Yes, since I was 10, I have had vaginal discharge. 5 years is a really long time and I haven’t even got my period yet.
I started getting pubic hair about 4 years ago, and for the past 2 years it has been really thick and dark, and it covers the same area as a full grown woman.
I have had BO for 4 years, same with having to wash my hair at least once every two days
My boobs have been developing for about 3 years although they are still only about a B cup.
I have had acne for 3 years and it is not only on my face, but my back and chest too. my face isn’t too bad but my back is awful and my chest is pretty bad too. Recently it has spread also to my shoulders.
So all this and I still haven’t started my periods. I’m starting to worry a tad because I’m scared there is something wrong with me and I won’t ever be able to have children. My hips have been widening for a good 3 years too.
My mum didn’t start her periods until she was 15 but she is a completely different build to me and she never had acne like I do.

Do you think there is something wrong with me? Thanks.
Ok, I wasn’t just being all "ooh when will it start" to the person who first answered, I was simply worried that there was something wrong seeing as I figured that I have been going through puberty for quite a while now. And yeah I really don’t want to start tbh but I want to be able to have children. I’m a very get up and go type person and I can’t be bothered with the hassle of periods, as long as I can have kids then I don’t mind. <3

alrighht i went to newyork about 2 weeks ago when out of no wher i lost 10 pounds in a little under a week wich alarmed me but with my past it didn suprise me becaus in 9th grade i went from being 5.4 and 189 to 194 pounds (my weight flip flops from week to week normally by 4 or 5 pounds) to being 5.8 foot and 134 pounds in not even 2 months (talk about growing pains felt like i was being tortured all day every day) than i went down to 120 we went to the doctor and thay said i was perfectly ok just naturally tall and skinny, than in the middle of 10th grade i hit the weight and hight iv ben for about 2 almost 3 years wich was a sexy 6.1 feet and i my weight was constantly around a comfortable and healthy 155 158 wich is right on the mark for my boned structure and freakishly fast gaind hight, but still i was like huh thats weird but than i rememberd that my did and me had to take adderal xrs just to make it up north in time for the rig we drove day and night and when we needed a break we would switch well i would cuz i cant stand being high days on end, so i figured it was partially cuz of a combo of addy an not having the time to stop for food we didnt eat anything al the way up ther, but it wasnt till i got back i actually noticed the change i had no idea wile i was ther, for the next few days my weight stayd at about 144 but little by little my stomach started bugging me more but not when i was just standing around i felt and still do feel perfectly fine but than one day i woke up and my stomach was totally empty i woke up cuz it growled so i was like what evs il jus get some food when i stood up though i almost flipped over becaus i was so hungry i was actually having trouble controling my body wich happens when i normally havent eaten in 3 days or more (iv ben on adderal since 1st grade so i know all my bodys hunger stages you hav to learn to force feed your self) but i had eaten the day befor, anyways i made it to the fridg but when i looked at the food all the hunger turnd to nausia but i said screw it and made a sandwich but almost threw up with every bite its now ben about 5 days since iv had salid food but im not stupid i didnt exept not eating so iv ben surviving on boost nutritionl natual energy drinks and slimfast becaus ther loaded in vitamens and menerals so i dont sercum to mallnutrition and thay hav about 250 callerys each and the boost has 35 from fat so i know im not going to die (all though i feel like im stuck in parpetual starvation becaus you still feel hungry, thinkfully the boost helps keepss your muscle from being boken down as food by your body but iv noticed the small amount of fat every guy has is slowly going away, so i cant eat but for some reason i can drrink as much as i want iv drand 3 slim fast and 2 boost yesterday to eaqual a meal in calories, iv also not ben able to sleep more than 2 hours in the past 3 days, just to be fair i do do some drugs and drink a little but not enough to effect me like this i hav a balllence between fun and resposibility party with my friends some like every other weekend but not daily, so any ideas or thearys il answer any medical questions you hav i just wana know whats up and answer as quick as possible i dont know if its serious but if it is somthing bad i wana catch it fast i just dont hav insurance yet so the doctors kinda a last resort for me and im sorry if this seemd a little scatterbraind im majorly add
thats what i was thinking to seeing how iv always randomly lost weight startiing at 14 till i hit the lil platoe of consistant wait wen i was 16 but didnt think i would still be having random drops now that im almost 19, but im even willing to exept that im still growing, the main thing thats bugging me is the fact i havent eaten food in almost a week i just got the boost and slimfast yesterday becaus i noticed by day 3 i was even whiter than my normal tone and i was in general looking like ther was something wrong and all though i dont feel "sick" i do feel horrible i feel like im coming off a 3 week crack beng r somiething like idk its just odd that anthing i bite into makes me throw up now even if i dont swollow
like im skinny yes but you dont understand how much i normally eat if i go to an all you can eat i get atleast 3 full plates in a row wait a lil bit and guzzle down the huge gllasses of tea than im hungry again in an hour, atleast one person is staying calm like me cuz my girlfriend grandparents and mother are all freaking out cuz all though i ate 5 days ago it wasnt really a meal that was just the last bit of solid food i could handle and that was two of thoughs small powder donuts if you go all the way to the last "meal" iv had that was the day i came back from new your so a day short of 2 weeks
ok well its finally stopped i decided i would give the "HERBAL INCENCE" stuff a try seeing how it is synthetic thc so i figured maybe it worked the same and since i use to smoke weed if my stomach was hurting and making me nausious and i was right it worked think god i still hav no idea whats wrong but this seems to work to jus as well

I am 15 years old and 1.77cm tall.
Last two years I had had a slower growing in height(when i was 13 i was 1.71cm).I guess that this has happened cause i have builded some muscles(i mean not extreme but normal muscles) but i still have long arms and legs.I am a basketball player so i want to get taller at least 1.90cm.Is this possible to happen in a period of 3 years?

please answer me as soon as possible.
thanks

Ok, this is the situation for me.

I’m 16 years old, (Just turned 16) and i’ve just really gotten into football. I’m only 5"3 and 105.4 lbs. I’m naturally flexible because for one, I was in gymnastics for 3 years at a younger age and placed number one in my state on bars, and 2nd all around. I also get it from my mom because she was a gymnast and still teaches it. I’m not trying to be cocky, but I’m pretty fast for how tall I am, I can keep up speed with our 6 foot wide reciever on our team. Since i’m not big enough to actually play football. I’ve been learning how to be explosive and what kind of techniques to use and train. I watch football and all I pay attention to are the running backs. My favorite running backs are Adrian Peteson, and Marcus Jones Drew. I really think they’re great, with quick agility and speed. I’m willing to train/practice and eat more healthy to be able to be our school’s running back next season. I have about 8 months and 2 weeks to both grow and train, because tryouts are in August.
So could someone give me advice on how to grow, and what/how I should practice. I plan to join weight lifting and track before football season, and I have my own bench press at home. I’m really dedicated and I know this is what I want. Also, what should my goal weight/height be, and what is the lowest weight/height I could be and make the team. Thanks guys.

- P.S I was a running back for my Popwarner team in 8th grade.
- P.S My mom is 5"8 right now, she said she was 5"1 when she was 17 and grew in her junior year. My dad also was a late bloomer, and he is about 5"9. My doctor saids my growth plates haven’t closed yet so I still have alot of growing to do and expects me to be 5"8-6 even.
Darren Sproles is a 5"6 195 lbs running back going up against 6"1-6"4 260-310 lb, so don’t tell me I’m too small or not big enough. I know right now I am, but that wasn’t the question.

For the past 3 years I have been wearing almost on a daily basis 1.5 – 2” shoe insters/lifts

They have been going in my shoes so they are discreet and for the most part I wear pants over my legs so nobody really could tell..

However, do you think it will have a big long term affect on my posture or on my stance or on my legs, etc.?

Well, I think I’m a worrying too much about my height, even though I’m tall already. But I don’t like other people growing taller than me. I don’t know why, I just don’t.

First of all, I’m 15, 6ft, 11stone, and I’m a Vegetarian, if you need to know that.

Anyway, I’ve done some measurements today. It came out to be 185cm, which converts to about 6ft 1. I remember in my first year of high school (3 years ago now), I was 175cm. So I’ve grown 10cm in three years. It doesn’t seem like a great amount, so I don’t think I’ve had a growth spurt lately. I think I probably had one in Primary School. :\

But my question is, do you think I can expect another growth spurt in the next few years? Or will my growth be coming to a stop round about now? (I know men apparently grow till they’re like 21, but my best friend who’s a girl and just a couple of cm smaller than me said her brother stopped growing around 15).

So yeah, what do you think? Is the 10cm in 3 years significant? Some other boys in my school seem to be smaller than me at the start of the year, but have grown quickly and overtaken me by the end of the year. :\ I know I shouldn’t worry about it but I just can’t help it.

(Btw. Don’t suggest spiking my hair up or anything to appear taller. It doesn’t actually make me taller, just appear taller. I want to be naturally taller. xD)
Erm. Well I’m definitely 185cm, so I must be taller than you. But I used an online calculator to convert it, and it came out as 6ft 1. I really hate imperial calculations though.

Are you sure you haven’t got your own calculations wrong? Sorry. 6ft 3 is apparrently 190cm. =\
I meant I used an online calculator to convert it from 185cm to foot and inches. I’ve checked various websites, and they all say 185cm IS 6ft 1.

I’m 16 and 135 lbs. I’ve grew maybe an inch from 5-8 to almost 5-10 in 3 years. Is there any foods or anything I can eat or anything I can do to grow a little taller? Besides wearing different shoes and that crap.
serious answers please! I expected there wouldn’t be any way.

I’m a 17 year old male, 5’6 currently. It’s been nearly 3 years and I still stayed at this height. Fortunately, I grew a little tiny bit last week from the help of sleeping in a hard bed. How do i grow taller? I feel like it’s nearly imossible to grow any taller since 8th grade was like the last year I’ve grown any taller. My dad is 5’7 and mom is 5’3. Are there any simple and effective ways to get taller? I want to at least be 5’8-5’9 by 12th grade. Any tips would be greatly appreciated!
Besides sleeping in a hard bed, drinking milk, stretching exercises, what other ways are there to grow taller?

Heyy, I’m a 19 year old male.. I’m 5’4” and I’m taller than my mother and grandmother…But my uncle is about 5’7” and my grandfather about 5’6”…I want to get at least 5’6” or 5’7” because my life right now is frustrating…every time i go out i’m the shortest one, most girls are taller than me, and it gets worst if they use tall shoes…I feel very sad sometimes about this…I’d like to do something (not surgery) because this would help me to feel a lot better about myself….I exercise regularly 3-4 times a week…I just want to know if there’s something I can eat or some exercises that can help me grow..My doctor told me I havent grown nothing in like 5 years,but i was 5’3” and measured myself recently and now i’m 5’4” and I even was the last one of my friend to loose my teeth when I was a kid like 2 or 3 years after them…

Hi, I am only 4ft10in, but I already started everything that might happed during puberty expect for period. I heard people stop growing taller once they have puberty and period. Can you help me so I am grow taller before is too late. Thanks.

Info:
female
12
started puberty for about 2-3 years.
exerice 5 days a week.

I’m 14 and I’m 5 feet 1 right now. But I have been that tall for 3 years straight. I just stopped growing, and everybody else seems taller than me. I was just wondering, if I needed to drink more milk, or do more aerobic activity so my legs get a little jolt every now and then? Or what can I do that well increase my chances of getting taller than I am now?

My mom is like near 5 feet, and my dad is around 5’9. I’m 13, and I hit puberty like 2-3 years ago. I’m not sure, but I think I’m like 5’1. My mom said she stopped growing at around 12 years old.

What are my chances of growing taller, and how much taller?

I just want to know if there’s a vitamin or something that can make me grow a few inches taller. I want to be at least 5’8", right now I’m about 5’3". Yeah I know that I’ll stop growing 16-18, but I’m almost that age, and I’ve been about 5’3" for almost 3 years!

I’ve read several questions on here about growing taller and I feel that I can provide a bit more details, so maybe I’ll get a better answer than other people. I’m a 15 year old female (16 in December) and I’m currently 5’2". My mom is 5’7" and my dad 5’9". My grandparents and all of my aunts and uncles are around that height too. I never really had a "growth spurt". I just grew about 2 inches over a period of 3 years. No fast growth…I have several close female friends that are the same height as me, but they all wear a size 4-6 in shoes and they’ve all had a growth spurt. I’m the only one that’s 5’2" and wears a size 8 shoe. My taller friends all have bigger size shoes. One of my female friends is 6 months younger than me, wears a size 11 and is 5’11". I’ve always heard that when you wear a bigger size shoe, you will be taller, which is the case with all of my friends. My question is will I grow any taller? Nobody in my family is this short and I really hate being the shortest.

I’m 15 & my sister is 16, we’re both 4’11 & have been for almost 3 years!!! WHY! Do you know how we can grow any taller???
