Right now i about 5’9 and i am 15 years old. every tells me that am pretty tall for my age and doctors say by next year I’ll be 6’2 so for basketball reasons how can i get taller naturally. Also does sleeping affect growth because i sleep from 10 pm to 4:30 am.PLEASE HELP
I had a hip replacement, which left that leg longer than the other. I would like to get some input on which shoe lift would be best to purchase. Any doctors out there that can give advice, or someone that knows from experience? Hope to hear from you. Thanks
Ive been 5’3 for around a two years, I recently turned 16 on the 10th and for around a year doctors yold me I was bout to get a growth spury which never happend :/
I wana be taller and fast! Any ideas?
So i’m 16 and so far I’ve only had a couple of boyfriends. And the reason for that would be because of my height. I’m currently 6’1 but the doctors say that by the time i’m 18 I will be 6’2. Two of my boyfriends were taller than me and the other one was a couple inches shorter. I absolutely hated dating the shorter guy. I feel like the man should be the taller one in the relationship, not the girl. I feel like I’m never gonna find a guy taller than me, someone who I can literally "look up to". What’s even harder is that I’m white but the population at my school is mostly Asian, and we all know that Asian people are just generally shorter. My other 2 boyfriends were older, one was 19 and the other was 21, so naturally my mom didn’t approve of them so those relationships were cut pretty short. I know there are tall guys out there but they are always older, and my mom won’t let me date them. But I don’t wanna wait until I’m 18 before I can be in a real relationship. Help! It really sucks being tall. How do you suggest I go about the next 2 years being realationshipless and alone? Or how do I convince my mom to let me go out with older guys?
I DO NOT wanna be a model of play basketball. Those are the 2 questions i get asked the most and i HATE it. Just because your tall does not automatically make you a basketball player

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
I’m 4’8 and 14 years old. I’m growing at my chronological rate for a girl, but I’m afraid I might never reach even 5’0. I don’t want to go through life shorter than everyone else, and my parents and doctors say there is not much to do. Is there a way to make sure I reach my maximum height?
I went to the doctors today and they told me that my hips are uneven. And that i will have to wear a half an inch shoe lift. How big are they?? Will the be noticed if i wear clogs?
I am 18 years old and only abt 4ft6 (girl) i really want to grow much taller. Is there any form of exercise i can do, to help me to get taller? i eat healthy, drink lots milk, take vitamins.. eat vegtables… but nothing seems to work. I havent started my periods yet, and i have been checked by the doctors and everything is fine. I would like to know any natural ways of getting taller. either by exercising or eating. Please Help!!
I read in a Walt Disney World guidebook that you can buy lifts for kids shoes so they can grow one inch to meet the height requirement for rides. Does this work? Where do you buy shoe lifts?
In the guidebook it said adding a 1/2 inch won’t make that much difference. Disney over compensates for safety. What if you have a short child who can never ride the rides until they are in junior high??
Also…how is this different than when people have their kids where heeleys or high heeled shoes?
Ok Thanks for you opinions. How about for the slide at Sea World?
My main reason is because my son is right at the height requirement. At the doctors he is an inch past. Each time we go he get’s re-measured. He rode one ride and then a month later when he wasn’t standing up straight they almost didn’t let him on. Then after I told them he had already been on several times in the last month they let him on. I have never seen them have anyone take their shoes off. I know they don’t count hair though. I know someone who wore her mom’s shoes with heals to get on and they allowed her on.
At Disneyland they allow heelies. They told kids to make sure they are kept inside for the Star Wars show.
I think I am on my 5th guidebook…so I can’t remember which one. I have read the Unofficial Guide, Walt Disney World with Kids, Birnbaums, and a few others.
