hi im 5"5 or 5 "5" 1/2 {yes every centimeter counts to me } 116pounds 17years old, i know im short but i am very built, my friend is 6 ft 2 and he says i look around 130 pounds bcuz im that strong, anyways i wish i could grow to be atleast 5"7" i’d be very happy with that, i know guys stop developing at age 21, so is there a chance i might grow to be around that height?

-My mom is like 5"2" or 5"3" my dad is 5"7 or 5"8"
-i workout everyday for 1 hour
-i ride bike for 2-4 miles a week
- i eat healthy but i do eat junk food {who doesn’t?}
-my uncle is like 6ft, my grandfather is 5"8" and the other was about the same maybe more {rip} never met him
-most of my family members are over 5"7

so do you think there is a chance i can be around 5"7", and please don’t tell me to buy tall shoes or vertical lined clothes,

Right now I’m pretty much at the point where I’m exactly tall as all of my other family members. Is there anyway possible that I can grow even taller?

I’m a fourteen year old girl, 97 lbs & 5’1”, & I’m always being teased about how short I am. My ethnicity is Asian so I thought it was normal for me to be short, but my other family members [siblings & cousins] are tall. I’m afraid that my growth spurt is ending & I won’t be able to grow anymore.
Is there anything I can do about this?

I’m turning eighteen this week. I am 5’9" and I weigh 120 lbs.
I’ve been gaining about 5 lbs a year since my puberty started, while I was growing two inches per year.
I’m naturally underweight. I was actually born underweight. I was born 6 lbs., but I was slightly taller than the average 6 pounded baby. I’m not unhealthy. I hardly ever get sick. The only problem I have has to do with my digestive system, but that’s hereditary and none of my past family members were underweight as well.
I’ve been reading articles that said that even if you are naturally underweight, you should go see a doctor so that they can make you gain more weight. Is that a health suggestion, or is that just trying to make me conform to the societal norm?
So, is being naturally underweight an unhealthy thing?

I am 13 years old and most of my family members are tall. They all think I am very short comparing to my younger cousin who is a bit taller than me. I am very frustrated. Can somebody please help me and tell me how to increase your height.
Thanks.

I know that genetics decides how tall we grow. But if a person already has good genes regarding height (all family members 5’7 + tall), what he/she should do to attain maximum height possible while growing like what exercises, how many hours o sleep, what food , etc?

My little cousin who’s in 4th grade that’s a girl always gets teased about how small she is. Even her family members tease her around and say that the baby’s going to get taller than her! She gets frustrated. Her mom tells her to drink lots of milk. She hates milk. She always gags when she drinks it and at school she says her stomach hurts like crazy.

im a 14 year old girl and im 5’1 and that not to short but not a good height for the 9th grade. my mom is around 5’4 and im surprised that im not even her height yet and i hope i can even pass her by two inches. im just wondering if theres a way for me to even reach 5’3 real soon. or is it to late for me to grow anymore? bekuz i got my first period when i was 12 and half. and my best friend told me once you get your period theres no more growing>is that true?? and if not is there a way i can grow fast because i feel sad that the rest of my family members are tall or are heading that way including my 11 year old sister and im just gonna be short like my mom or even worse bekuz my dad is 5’9. any ideas??? do i have a chance to grow??
