Hi I’m 13 and I’m wondering this becuase my older sister grew like 3 and a half inches after she had her baby twin boys when she was 22.

When she graduated high school she was 5"2′ and at around 17-19 she grew to 5"4′.

I was wondering if she had her growth spurt really late or something… Her mom is 4"11′ and her dad was 5"11′, and now she’s 5"7′ and a half. I think she’s stopped growing taller, she’s 27 now.

Is this normal?

I’m 16 and I’m 5’3.5-5’4…I want to know if I’ll grow taller. I had my first menstrual cycle when I was 10 going on 11. My mom is 5’4, and I think my dad is the same. My younger brother is so far 5’10 and my sister is almost my height, I think she’s 5’1 or 5’2. Pleaseeee is there any way I can help increase my height NATURALLY (ex: sleep, diet, etc.) When will I stop growing? Or when do girls stop growing in general This has really been a big issue for me, please help!

I’m a 19 year old male. Both my parents are fairly normal sized, my dad’s somewhat muscular, and not that fatty. I however, am 6’1" and weigh 145. No matter what I do I can’t seem to add any muscle mass. I did grow taller in the past year, but I still haven’t put on any weight.

Will I bulk up naturally if I keep eating healthy foods? My frame seems big enough to support alot more body mass than it currently is.

Also, should I be doing cardio exercises to help keep off extra body fat?

Thanks.

I’m a 16 year old male started puberty around 12, I’m about 5′ 8" tall. I feel kind of short, my best friend is 6′ 1", and my brother is 6′ 0" (different fathers though). My mom is 5′ 7" and my dad is 5′ 10" can i expect to grow taller than my dad?

Hi everyone, I’m 19 years old next month. I was just wondering if you think i’ll get any taller. I’m joining the marines and I ship out to boot camp 6 days before I turn 19. When I went up to MEPS to get my medical and physical stuff I was 5"8.5 tall with no shoes on. The doctor just put me under the 5’9 category. I was wondering if you think I will get any taller? My girlfriend is 5’8 and i’m only half an inch taller than her. When we first met she told me she liked tall guys because she wanted to feel small. That kind of changed apparently now because she says it doesnt matter how tall I am cause she likes me for me. Which is good, I guess i gave her a lasting impression and height doesnt matter as much with me.

still though I was just curious if u think I will grow any taller? I heard guys dont stop growing till 21-25 but does that mean height too? I do Yoga and Stretch twice a week along with workout. My dad was 6’4 and my mom is 5’3. Do you think I might hit 6 feet by the time im 20 or 21? thanks in advance!

I am 17 years old and I am 5 feet tall (I’m a girl). My mom is 5’2′ and my dad is 5’4”, my sister is 5’1 but she’s younger than me, I live a very healthy life (i’m a vegetarian) and I run 4.5 miles 4-5 times a week. I just feel so out of place because almost everyone is taller than me and people just HAVE to comment on my height! So I’m wondering, do you think there’s some hope (at least just an inkling of hope?) for me to grow..at least to my parents’ height?
fyi, i turned vegetarian a year ago, so it has nothing to do with the bovine growth hormones in beef.
i think i stopped growing when i was about…15 i think?

I’m a 13 year old girl…
I’m 5’4…
90 pounds…
my mom is 5’6…
my dad is 6’1…

How tall?

PS: I’m not anorexic…I’m naturally skinny!

Ok. So I was wondering if eating white rice every day of the week affects your height? I am a 15 year old male (turned 15 two days ago), and I’m of Asian background. Ever since I was 12, and was told by a relative that white rice is completely stripped of nutrients during the processing stage, I’ve been lobbying for my parents to switch to brown rice. We did try that for a month starting from my 12th birthday, but then, one day, my mom stopped making it (my diet contains mostly rice with some side dishes – eg. meat or veggies), and abruptly switched back to white rice. When I asked her why she did that, she gave me a reply that I shouldn’t be so selfish and to think of other people as well. So, I naturally assumed that it was my grandparents who complained to her. Since they are elderly, I didn’t act like I cared. However, now that I’m fifteen and passed the major height-enhancing stage of life (12-15), I am barely 168 cm (around 5 feet 6 inches). My goal is to at least grow to be 180 cm. In my school, i’m the shortest in all my classes (including girls), and my parents keep on remarking on how tall "the handsome boy walking down the street is". My mom is 152 cm tall, and my dad 173 cm, but I found out that my genes allow me to have the potiential to reach 181 cm (All my cousins on my dad’s side are over 180 cm). But just yesterday, after coming home from a gym class and being so frustrated of my short stature (we played basketball), I once again, asked my grandfather, (who’d been trying to help me grow taller) why he had complained about the white rice and potienitally stunt my growth. He then told me that it was my sister (who is 5 years younger than me) who was the one that complained- everyone else in the family was OK with it. So now I’m majorly pissed at my sister, because if it wasn’t for her big mouth (she is honestly the most picky eater I’ve ever met), then I would have gotten the nutrients that I should have during the most crucial stages of my growing life. After we had a row (my sister and I), it was agreed that I was cooked a seperate serving of brown rice, starting tonight. However, my question is, will this do any good, since I’m already 15? (I’ve been in sports since I was little, so I know it was the food that I ate from 12-15 which affected my height). Again, my goal is 180 cm. Right now, I seriously want to punch my sister out, because it was her who caused me to have to endure this torture! And I really do want to be tall! (PS. I usually eat rice for both breakfast and dinner, with rice filling most of my bowl and a bit of meat and veggies)
Excuse me? Weight loss? I only weigh 105 lbs!

I’m sure I’ve damped my height growth due to unhealthy daily routine and lack of sleep during my 17s. I’m 18+ now and 5’6.5",I’d like to grow some more(at least to my full potent height,my dad is taller than me :[ ). Do you think it’s possible if I follow correct routine and growing exercises. Give me your honest opinions,please.

My mom is about 5’6, and my dad is about 5’11 or 5’10. I’m 5’8, and my shoe size is 10.5

I want to try to become a model, but do you think I’ll grow any taller?
Yeah im a guy

Okay, I’m a little desperate here.

I’m a 14 year girl, and I’m extremely short.
I’m about 155cms tall (5.1"), and I’ve never had a growth spurt. I’m starting to feel like it’s never gonna happen, and I seriously need one (as you can see).
And yes, I’ve hit puberty. I got my periods when I was 12, and I still haven’t grown dramatically. AT ALL.

My mum is 153cms/5.0" tall (I should say short), and my dad is about 160cms/5.2".

I know a lot of people say that your height is usually the same height as your parents, but I don’t believe that.
My cousin has short parents like mine, and he’s about 180cms/5.9".

Is there anything I can do to make me taller naturally? Anything I should eat? Any specific exercises I should do? And will I ever get my growth spurt?!

Help would be much appreciate! Thank you

I’m 14 years old and only 5’1 and a third. I always use to be the tall freak in my school since I was always A LOT taller than everybody in my class through kindergarden until 5th or 6th grade. After I hit 6th grade, I stopped growing completely while everyone else kept growing. So now, I’m one of the shortest in my class.
My mother is about an inch shorter than me but my dad is exactly 6’0. I LOVE milk so I drink it all the time and I’m still short! I really want to grow taller but how can I?
Oh and I got my period at 10 years old. I heard that can affect your height too.

There’s this boy, Dylan, and he’s about 3 months and 8 days older than myself. I know, I’m a girl, so I am "growing up" faster than Dylan is. Well, I’ve on and off again liked him for two years now. I’m tall for my age, but other girls are catching up to me. Mind you, I’m 5’5 and my dad is 6’5 and my mom is 5’10 so I’m naturally tall for my age. Dylan is about 5’1 and athletic, so he’s quite skinny. I’m athletic, too, but I’m more toned. His mom is about 5’10 also and his dad is about 6’0. So thats the genes. Well, what I’m asking is within this year, which school just started ((Sixth grade)) will he grow to me and I stay the same or will he remain his height and I fricken grown f[censored] huge?! Cuz we flirt and such and everyone is urging us to go together and it’s not a bad idea, cuz he’s fricken hot. DO NOT anwer if you’re going to say I’m "too young for boys" cuz I DOMINATE the sixth graders and I take 8th grade math, reading, and Language Arts.
Love always[MissMurder]

I’m [Russian, duh]

I am currently about 6’1.5 or 6’2 and 175 pounds. I am 16 years and 9 months old and wear a size 13 shoe. I’ve heard that if you dont have facial hair it means your not done with puberty and i hav not much only very little chin hair and a "beginners mustache". I want to reach about 6’4 or 6’5 and i wanted to know if this is possible. My mom is like 5’7 and my dad is like 6’3. Also is there anyway to naturally increase my height. no gimmicks.

I’m 16 and have a bit of a problem with guys around my school. The problem is mainly my size. I remember hearing that the average height of men in the U.S is like 5’10 or so, and I’m only 5’8, almost 5’9 in shoes. There’s more 5’11 and 6’0 guys at my school than guys between 5’4 and 5’10. I’m not exactly short, but not tall by a long shot. I started going to the gym a few weeks ago, gained about 3lbs of muscle, then got a new medicine that suppresses my appetite so that if I don’t force myself to eat I don’t. Because of that I’ve already lost about 2lbs since Wednesday, which may end up making me lose about 15lbs. I’m not exactly built, but I have lean muscles and am a lot stronger than I look.

Unfortunately most guys don’t know that, and constantly underestimate, insult, and ‘pick’ on me. I’m not worried about a fight, as I’ve had 5 years of martial arts and an unfortunately violent pre-teen experience in which I won exponentially more fights than I lost. However, since I stopped fighting period in the middle of my freshman year, most of my classmates don’t know that I am actually have a bit of a flair for fighting. But I really don’t want to fight anymore, and since I don’t do anything wrong (never been late for a class without having been held behind by my last teacher to finish work ((which is excused)), never drank, smoked, done drugs, disobeyed my parents, argued with adults, etc) other guys assume that I’m weak and a coward. Even smaller younger punks assume they can beat me up with ease.

As my family is well off (dad owns his own company and makes ,000 a year) I’ve never actually needed to do work, so I don’t exactly have large muscles. Even though I hit the gym nearly daily (1 or 2 days off a week for recovery) I look more lean than large. Even if I started bodybuilding, I wouldn’t look too intimidating due to my size. I have a medium frame and am doubtful to grow any taller (already taller than my dad, mom, older brother, perhaps my grandparents ((haven’t seen them in years)), etc). My dad’s side of the family has a very large frame, even though they aren’t particularly tall, and my mom’s has more of a lean slender frame. I have a mix (medium), and despite being taller than my dad, am no where near as strong or muscular (ignoring the beer gut) as he is. And I’m nearly 4 inches taller than my mom. My older brother has her frame, and is slight and a slight bit shorter than me, but much more lean. Sad thing is my little brother seems to have Dad’s frame, and is already taller and stronger than I was at his age- he’ll probably be taller and stronger than me by the time he’s 18. I don’t exactly have the ability to be large, as I’m naturally lean and built more for sprinting speed (nearly 17 mph last time I was checked) than muscle strength.

How can I be more intimidating looking to prevent a fight? I don’t exactly think it’s my attitude (I’m extremely confident all of the time) but due to my size other guys try to take advantage of me and insult me constantly. As much as I wish I could be 6’0 or 6’1, I have no family members anywhere near that tall (except one uncle, 5’11) and I don’t think a guy that’s 5’9, potentially 5’10 if I’m lucky and still grow (which I doubt), even a bodybuilder that size can be intimidating enough to stop a fight. Help?

Srry for the long explanation lol

I just turned 15 on January 19th.
First of all, should I still be growing?
My brothers are both above 6′ tall.
My mom is 5’7"
My dad is 6’3"

Also, I’m a pescetarian (I’m a vegetarian that still eats dairy and seafood.)
I am 5’5" now and I would like to be taller, so what do I do?
Should I still be growing naturally?

I’m a female, 14 years old and 5’2.5" My mom is 5’4" and my dad is 5’9". Do you think I will grow any taller and is there anything I can do to help me? Thank You.

For starters im 16, and im 5’0. My mom is 5’2 and my dad is 6’0. I really like being short, so im just wandering how tall I could possibly get. Btw I am going to start excerising everday eand eating healty the first day of march, will this make me grow?

A friend of mine is 5"11 despite the fact that his mom is only 5"2, and his dad is 5"7. And I don’t think any of his family is any taller than 5"8 because I met them all when he invited me to a party. How did he grow taller than his genes? and what did he do to get that height? But most importantly, how long did it take him to gain that height because we were the same height a few years ago.
He didn’t take drugs or a surgery to increase his height that is.

what do i have to eat to grow my expected height?? i searched for other questions but i still dont get am i supposed to eat nutrition vitamins or what?? cuz i only grew like 2-3cm only since last year. Im 174-175cm and my friend is like 180 and hes the same age but a couple of months older. were both 13 what do i have to eat to reach my expected adult height? My parents arent tall my dad is about 2cm taller than me my moms side is all short but my dads side are pretty tall (5"11 max) my cousin is 16 hes like 6"1 im 13 and 5"8 or so how do i grow to my expected adult height? nutrition or vitamins which one?

im 17 and im only 5’3, i see people taking it around 5’7 complaining that they want to grow taller and to me that would be amazing if not a mircle if i could get that tall. My parents are really short my mom is 5′ and my dad is 5’3 as well so as for that fact that taking hgh might stunt my growth more than i actually might naturally grow, i dont that that would be too much of a factor…im a guy as well so i think that this would be worth it if it works because thats not even the average hieght of women…so im pretty much asking if it works and what are the possible negative affects
