Hey,
I am 17 years old and will be 18 in March. And currently I am 5′10.5 feet tall. And I really want to be 6′0 feet tall. I heard from most doctors that after the age of 18 or in the mid 17, you stop growing. A day ago, I saw this video and the guy said that exercising, hanging, eating food, and drinking water would help. Will it help me in this age? And also tell me what to eat and what would I need and also tell me all the foods which contain all the nutrients. Just to give more information, my dad’s height is 5′11.5 feet and my mom’s is 5.5 feet. Please help me what to do. I really need to be 6′0 feet tall and I think I don’t have much time left.
Thanks

im 14yr old going to be 15 in march 2011 and im 4ft 10/11 i really feel ashamed because my friends are way taller than me and im left behind. my mum is 5 ft 4 and my dad is 5ft 11 / 6ft i wanna grow taller for a number of reasons but most important is i like this girl but im to short can you give me some tips

im 5′2. started my period last december. my mom is 5′5 1/2 and my dad is 5′11. my older brother got to 6ft. im a volleyball player and i know im eventually going to grow taller, but is there any way to boost my growth naturally? (please no pills/spams)! im in 8th grade………thank you!
and i just grew another size in shoes resently. does this mean im about to hit a growth spurt? im an 81/2 size shoe. and for my hieght, i feel like i have boat feet

i’m 5-4 1/4 without shoes and my foot size is really 9 or 9 1/2…it seems too big for my height

Can you grow taller after your growth plates close?
my dad is 5-8 and my mom is 5-2…my uncles are mostly 5-10 except one is like 5-5 maybe 5-5 1/2
Joey yes they do

I am 14, at 5′10. I need to become taller, my goal is about 6′3/ don’t worry, my dad is still taller than me, even tho he’s almost 60. But I do lift weights at the gym. I dont do anything heavy,, like benchpresses. I do pulldowns, crunches, chests, work out my legs, and i dont do anything that requires my legs to lift up my weight. I also take calcium supplements(vitamin d included), get around 7 hours of sleep, and i do strewching excercises hoping i will get taller. Will any of this help me grow? I know most of you will say ill get taller naturally, but not as tall as i want to be. will it help? thanks in advance!

Okay so im about to turn 14 , im 5′3 right now. My dad is 5′11 and my mother is 4′9 about how tall should i grow up to be? What can i do to grow taller?

my dad is 6′2” and my mom is 5′3”
im 14 and right now im 5′2”
how can i make myself grow taller naturally without buying stuff?

I don’t dress Emo or hide my face with my hair. I laugh and smile all the time in front of people and i try to make them laugh. But inside, i’m always depressed. If it’s not about my short stature, then it’s about my heavy weight. sometimes i feel just plain old ugly. Ever since i was four years old, i always thought i was ugly. I always thought my dad hated me and i was scared of him. He always told me as a toddler that he loves my sister more than me because it’s traditional. She’s younger. My sister is also naturally skinny. i’m fat. ever since age 9, i was on and off diets. and i don’t let myself touch junk food. and then… at age 11…. i hit puberty early and i stopped growing taller at 12. I’m now a wee little person stuck in a wee little small school because no other schools would take me. My self esteem is just so low and i’m sick and tired of being depressed. Everytime i try not to be, someting bad happens. like today, my swim coach said "there’s a lot you cant do" and
he sent me the shallow end. i’ve been on the swim team for three years because someone told me that swimming makes you grow. on top of that, i binge when i’m depressed. i try to numb my feelings. and other times, i keep telling myself "i need to eat this to grow taller" sometimes i cry and eat at the same time. then i gain weight and i feel even worse. this just gets so old! no body knows how i feel except for my little sister who always to comfort me. she’s the most important thing in my life. i think if it wasn’t for her i would have suicide already. i don’t want to compare myself with her but people do it all the time. she’s taller, smarter and skinnier. i hate myself. should i take anti- depressants and should i let anyone know? am i normal? am i emo?

Im 13, and Im tall, about 5 ‘7. But most people in my family have grown early, and most are average sized. Im an athlete, but I know how important it is to be big to be successful in sports. Chances are I’ll be 5 ‘10, 5 ‘11, maybe 6 foot. But in my sport, baseball, the best players mostly taller than that, or at least it couldn’t hurt to be taller.

I know I’m going to grow up to be average size, at least. But I’d love to be 6 ‘1 someday. Im very active, and my diet is so-so. My dad is a 5 ‘10, 5 ‘11, my mom is 5 ‘7, my sister is 5 ‘7, and my brother somehow shot up to almost 6 ‘3.

I’ve heard rumors of how to get taller, but I want to do it naturally, such as, a better diet, or specific exercises throughout my growing years. I’ve heard that stretching releases human growth hormones, so could that help me grow? I do yoga and poladies both once a week. Should I do more? What else can I do?

Now I know it mostly all about genetics but I think I still have a chance of growing because my uncle is the same height as my dad (5′8) and his wife is short and their kid turned out to be pretty tall so I know it’s possible to grow taller than your parents.

Anyways I’m 5′7 1/2 (5′8 with shoes on) and I would like to be at least grow another inch but I would really like to be 5′10 and up. I found some exercises that supposedly help you grow but I’m wondering what are the best vitamins to help support your growth?

Thanks in advance!
I forgot to add that my dad is 5′8 and my mom is 5′2
and I’m 17 so I’m still pretty young

ill be 19 years old this coming up saturday july 31st and i heard boys grow until they are 21 years old and my dad side witch i am on is 5′10 to 6′6 and my mom side is 4′11 to 5′5 and i was wondering since im on the 5′10 to 6′6 side will i get taller i wanna be 6′6 or 6′2 atleast im only like 5′4 to 5′6 right now and i weigh 141 to 143 pounds and how can i get grow to be 6′2 to 6′6 taller and my growth spurt not even shooting me up taller and i want it to shoot me up to 6′2 to 6′6 tall help me i hate my shortness.

I’m about 18 and for some reason my dad constantly thinks I’m gonna get taller….I don’t think that’s the case. I’m 5′4”/ Are there ways to grow taller? Like, do those pills work or are they dangerous? I saw some herbal pills on ebay…advice? tips?

I know this question has been asked a lot, but now I understand why… Anyways

-I’m 5′5 1/2
-16 years old, turning 17 in 5 months
-My dad is 5′9
-My mother is 4′11 ish
-I haven’t grown much in the past couple of years
-I sleep 7-10 hours a day (more when theres no school and maybe less when there is school)
-My hands are 20 cm in length and feet are size 8 1/2 (Canadian/American) which again haven’t grown much in the past couple of years (I thinks I’ve had the same shoe size since grade 6, 5 years ago)
-I have facial hair, body hair, the whole shibang
-I’ve also been taking multi vitamins for the past couple of months.
-I’m naturally muscular, but I also have extra fat (which I’m trying to lose) and my frame is naturally thicker too (so I look fatter than I am)
Hahaha, to the first commenter, yea sorry, Storm is a girls name, I just used it because well, I like storms

Anyways, I AM A GUY.

I’m a boy and I’m 14. My mum is 5′0 and my dad is 5′4, I am already 5′4 and I hope to be another 3 – 4 inches taller, so how can I grow over the summer holidays? Will swimming everyday help me be at least 2 inches taller by September? What else will I need to do?

Im 15 and 5′6. my dad is 5′8 and my mom is 5′2. My dad thinks Im going to be as tall as him since my dads side of the family is really tall. Also, what are some ways to grow tall naturally?

I dont drink soda, nor do I eat junk food.

my dad is 5′9 and my mom is 5′3

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 11 haven’t gone through puberty yet. Im 5ft or 5ft1. how can i grow tall naturally? what vitamins and minerals? Example of foods that contain calcium? anything that would help no stupid products or books. my moms about 5ft4 to 5ft6, my dad is about 5ft9 and my grandpa is 6ft.

my moms about 5ft4 to 5ft6, my dad is about 5ft9 and my grandpa is 6ft.

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?

I am just 1cm under 6ft 16 years old., i always wanted to be around 6′2 without shoes.
What can i do to grow taller…anything except surgery,and other risky stuff…….

My dad is around 5′11.. my mom is only around 5′4

See, i’m 16 about to be 17 this coming up september. and i’m only 5′4 or 5′5. And i look so stupid and it really feel lame… plus my gf can’t wear high heels other wise she would be taller then me… Any is there anyone that can give me hope, advice, etc? (btw, my dad is 5′7 or 5′6 and my mom is 5′3)

Im 5′3 or 5′4 without my shoes on. my dad is around 5′7 or 5′8, and i would love to grow at least to 5′10. Is that possible? and Since summer is about to start im going to have more time to eat, sleep, exercise, and stretch better. If anyone has n e suggestions like food(meals), exercise, or stretching wise i would really appriciate it. thanks

My dad tells me to get shots to be taller
but i have enough and right now i’m 5′2 and 13.5
