I am 17 and 5"7 (Please don’t say that’s a fine height because it isn’t). When I go to the store, I get treated like a child and sometimes people think I’m like a freshman in high school and it really kind of hurts my feelings but I know they don’t know any better.

When me and my dad go places together, I get a BIG taste of the short man vs tall man lifestyle.

My dad is 6"1 and women treat him with respect and sometimes they giggle around him because he is cute and is good at social skills. I am cute to, but the HEIGHT is the big difference. I can’t really explain how women act toward short guys but it’s kind of cold and they DO in fact treat tall guys with more respect.

So I am NOT going to live this short man’s lifestyle for the rest of my life because it’s miserable to me and it makes me depressed when I go out in public to events and such.

Because in our shallow world, height really DOES matter to the majority of the population even though there are those sweethearts that will accept you for who you are and couldn’t care less.

But I’m shallow to, when I see guys like 5"4 I think I am automatically better then them because I am taller. I fight against this thought and get to know the person and they actually turn out to be fairly descent.

But there is a part of me that ALWAYS feels like I am a bit better then them because that is our nature as humans. Which is why I’m really never nervous around guys shorter than me.

Also, I know some of you will say "Puberty isn’t finished for you yet" but it kind of is. I have broad shoulders, pubic hair that extends across my thighs and up to my belly button, a cracked voice, and an adult looking bone structure.

So are height increasing shoes really not bad for a person like me?

hi, im a 16 years old, (almost 17) male.
im 6feet tall, and weigh about 145 pounds. yes i am very skinny.
i abruptly grew, about 3 inches or so, for about a year, and my height seems to have reached its limit.
my body is rather boylike. i dont have broad shoulders or thick arms, and no "adult" muscles are to be seen in my body.

my question is, do muscles naturally grow during puberty? im a late bloomer, and other than my height, voice and pubic hair, nothing else in my body resembles that of an adult. will this have any effect?

I’m 14 (nearly 15) and i’m 5’3. They say you can’t grow 2 years after your period starts, but that’s not true because I just shot up about an inch.
My dad is 5’9 (he used to be 5’10 though).
My mum is 4’9 (she used to be 4’11).
Just saying that because my parents are old and have obviously shrunk. So the real heights are 5’10 and 4’11. My older sister (who is an adult/finished growing) is 5’7. At my age, she was about 5’5, if that’s any indicator. So i’m 14, 5’3 and 100 pounds (if weight is a factor). My shoe size is 8 in American.

How tall do you think i’ll be ?

Hey guys, I found this height increase system online. The height product website is claiming that I can gain 2 to 4 inches naturally. My current height is 5’5′ tall as an adult 22 year’s old. My goal is to reach at least 5’8 or more in vertical growth. I’m desperate to be taller cause people always call me shrimp or shorty. Please help!

I am a short guy, and I hate my height (5’5). I hate it because it seems like when I ask girls out I always get rejected because of my short stature. I hate it and I wish I can grow taller but i am an adult. What can I do to become taller?

i am 15 years old, male, i never really knew what i wanted to do (as a job) when im an adult. can someone give me a good idea of what i could do? heres some info about me:

im tall – 6’2" (still growing)

my hobbies are scuba diving, swimming, skiing and gaming

i have been told i am creative in art, i considered industrial design, but im not sure about it.

i have always admired the military, might go into it as a backup plan if nothing else works out.

SCUBA DIVING:

i just learned how to scuba dive about 4 months ago, and the greatest depth i have been to is 52 feet, but i want to go deeper for the thrill. i am still considered a novice.

SWIMMING:

swimming comes naturally to me. i have been told i have a talent in swimming by the lifeguard at the beach.

SKIING:

i am an intermediate/expert skier. i learned how to ski about 5 years ago. i do not do stunts, except for the occaisional 2-foot jump. i am expert at downhill groomed skiing, my speed record is 51.3 MPH.

GAMING:

well… i just really like gaming. i dont really want to make a job out of it, but willing to try if the military job fails me.

if you have an idea for a job, please, answer this question with the official name of the job, and describe it in moderate detail.
you may also just give me the name/genre of the job, i will research it.

THANKS IN ADVANCE!!

I am 15-year-old male and this month I started to pass 3 hours without eating nothing everyday, just because I don’t want to be fat when I grow up.
I am naturally skinny now, I’m 5’7" tall and I weigh 117 pounds, but if this thing of passing 3 hours without eating becomes a habit, I’ll be even skinnier than I am.
I just want to know if I’m skinny as a teenager, will I be slim or skinny and toned as a 21-year-old? Because my father was skinny when he was a teenager but know he is 40 years old and is overweight.
It’s because I want to still be skinny and toned as an adult. I don’t want to become overweight like my father.
But I’m thinking that nowadays we practice sports and take care of how we eat so…
I go jogging and work out.
Short.Stuff: that made me laugh a lot!

I’m 15, and 5’7. According to my mom, I’m "shrinking." I havent grown in almost a year and I’m scared that I will be short when I’m an adult.
Is there any advice that you can give to help me grow taller? Is there certain foods, or exercises that will help me increase my height? Please help me!

Is it true that sometimes teens tend to lose weight naturally without even knowing by the time they are adults???

even though they stay eating and doing what they are used to, for example who have a healthy weight like i do. Im 15 years old a female, height 5’3 and weigh about 130 lbs. My bmi is 23.2. So will i lose the weight by the times im an adult? because im getting taller and growing??

Thankss alot

well im just a 5’1,,88 pounds. naturally petite almost 16 year old,, and my face is like small. i mean its equal with my body.. but it doesnt look like the shape of an adults. lol im just worried i wont be adult looking,, and will i grow any taller?

what types of exercises can make you grwo naturally im 5’4 at the age of 15 im still hitting a growth spurt but i see no results and ive noticed it for about 6 months i feel like im not gonna grow any taller im currently taking gummmy vitamin d for adult hoping this will help

I’m around 10 years old (not going to give out my real age). I’m 5 feet which is a pretty decent height for my age, but since I’m Asian and my parents are short, I just know I’ll be short when I’m an adult. Will I be able to grow taller within 1 or 2 months if I keep on doing height exercises? And to those who did these exercises regularly, does it work? I hope to grow taller by 2 or 3 inches by 2 months. If you have any tips or experience with height exercises please put them in your answer and please put as much details as possible! Thank you! -also I’m not allow to buy anything on the internet, so I can’t buy the "Grow taller 4 idiots" guide.

Hi! I`m a girl,just turned 15 in August.My height is 164cm,and I weight 53kg.My mother is 160cm,and my father is 176cm.Do you think I have any chances to grow taller,more than my current height and how much?

I`d like to become about 170cm.Is that possible?Or what do you think my height will be as an adult?
Thank you.Have a nice day!

I am aware that your height is mainly based on genetics, however I’m 13 at the height of 4’11.5 in and I haven’t really hit a growth spurt yet. My parents are 5’4 and 5’11…

If anybody has any tips of healthy foods to eat, tips and advice, or something, I really want to obtain my maximum height potential and possible grow to 5’6 as an adult

Would Silk Soy Milk help too. It is fortified with vitamins A and D and it is Calcium enriched. Also, what are some things I can do to grow better and more naturally? I’m 13 by the way, just in case you thought I was an adult trying to grow more.
Also, it is organic and it has protein.

I was learning about growth hormones today, and was just wondering: Is that the only way for a person to grow (in height) after puberty? I know that during puberty, you dramatically grow the fastest, but I was curious about whether or not one can do something to grow as an adult, too. I was just asking because my friend and I were discussing this, and she said that she had heard of things that allowed people to grow "taller". Is that possible?

Well, I’ve heard about many products which claim to increase adult people’s height. I was wondering if any of those thousands products to increase height really work, especially for adults.
