When she was 9 years old she was 5 ‘4” and was the tallest girl in the elementary school as a third grader. She played basketball and was extremely popular with her coaches because of her size. Now she is 15 and 5 ‘8”. She only grew 4 more inches and is really self-concious because of her height. She always thinks that she had more potential and ruined her chances of making it to the WNBA. She is still really good at basketball but hates that she did not grow that much and does not think she is tall anymore.

I’m 11 years old but going to turn 12 in a couple of months. I’ve already got my period, it started about a year ago. People say that once you get it, you hardly grow taller anymore. I’m currently 5 feet, but I don’t want to stay this height for the rest of my life. I know family genes do influence my growth so here’s some info: My mom’s 5′3 and my dad is 5′6.

I do regular horse-riding and occasional basketball, soccer, swimming and rugby. I do move around a lot so I’m slim, but not ultra-thin.

What can I do to make myself grow taller? Any food, sport, exercise etc.?

I’m 15 years old and only 5"4 and I want to play basketball for my school but afraid I will not make the team cause of my height. Anybody have any ideas? Please?

my height is only 165cm….i want to grow taller..but i dont know how…..besides skipping and play basketball….is there anything that can make me taller?

Is it that people who are naturally tall join basketball because it is advantageous to be tall in that sport, and so they know they could be successful?

Or, do you think that people who join basketball, regardless of their initial height, grow tall because of all the jumping and their minds recognize that it would be advantageous to be taller and so their bodies grow?

Please, I need to know.

i wanna grow taller and i wanna know like wat type of vitamins help wit growth….. i play basketball and football, but i need to eat healthy…. i know all about vitamin A,B,C,D and all tat…. i just need to know which one helps ur growth….

I want to grow to 6 feet while I am about 5′8 now. People say to play basketball or swim to grow taller but I can’t really find transportation to do so. So anyways I figured that the reason basketball and swimming makes you grow taller is because it works (one) part(s) of the body…what is that part?

I was wondering if there was any way or method to help enhance someone’s growth in height. Now I know a majority of the answers are that genetics is the only way, but I was wondering if there was any other way to help me grow taller.
Also, Im 15 and am about 6 foot 2. And weigh about 172 pounds. I play ALOT of basketball, but I was wondering if there was anything tho to help me grow more. Please help me!!!!!!

Everyone tells me that basketball and swimming helps you grow taller but I can’t drive yet and my parent are too busy to drive me anywhere.

I play basketball and im only like um around 160cm? i think..=[, so i wana jump higher or grow taller, becoz you’d have more of an advantage.

im 4 ft. 10 and am 13. I NEED to get taller before high school starts. Anyone know of a good way to get taller? oh, and does stretching or basketball help?

Hi, I’m 17 years old and im wondering if im still going to grow taller. I play basketball and i think it will give me an advantage if i just grew some more. I’m 6′2 240lb, my wingspan is 6′6, and i wear size 14 shoes. My dad is 6′1 and my mom is 5′7. I have older siblings and their heights are 5′9 my sister and 6′1 my brother. Please give me some insight on my chances of growing.

I’m 19 yr. old girl who is 5′6 and a half without shoes on. Is it possible to still grow taller after this age? if yes what is the average height I can grow? also any tips on how to grow to ur full potential? Is it true basketball helps or is it a myth? thanx.

Im 16, and im atleast around 5′7-5′9 and im trying to get tall for basketball… Even tho i dont play bball that much, im tryin to atleast hit 6′0 tall. I heard that if you stretch and eat right, you will grow tall but i cant bite into that. Is there any way that i can grow tall 2-6 inches?

I’m about 5 foot now, or a little bit more (154cm). I’m turning 13 this year but I want to know if I can grow maybe another 10cm in the future. My mum is about 156/157cm tall and my dad is probably 169/170cm. What is about the approximate height for me?

My older sister is about the same height as me (but I think I’m a little bit taller than her. She’s a year older than me). My older brother is about 167cm tall. They rarely do sports but I play soccer and basketball most of the time. I join school clubs and all those.

What can I do to gain another 10cm? Is there even a chance for me to grow? Like stretching exercises? Healthy food? Please tell me everything I need to know to grow taller. Thanks!

Please suggest me with ways to grow taller.

I’m 15 this year and i’m 5′10
My mum and dad aren’t that tall. I play basketball all the time i know genes are important but i don’t care i still wanna grow taller. At least 6 Ft would be the best. I drink Milk everyday weekdays before i go to school but sometimes i skip on weekends. Please please advice me what should i do. I don’t always get 8 hours of sleep because of school and homework. Most of the time 6 hours++ sometimes even lesser than that when i’m stressed out.

I just turned 16 and im 5′11 wear a size 13 shoe. My dad is 6′1 and mom is 5′7. I stretch and play basketball everyday and eat healthy is there a chance i will grow more and when do you usually stop growing after or before college?

i was just wondering if there were any SAFE ways to effectively grow a bit taller during teen years… i am really into basketball, and was wondering how many of the stars are so tall (dont tell me that it was ALL because of genes, that cant be right). for example, a bball player on our school team grew nearly 4 inches between his junior and senior years… he was like 6′4" his senior year.

i really need suggestions! thanks!
