I am aware that your height is mainly based on genetics, however I’m 13 at the height of 4′11.5 in and I haven’t really hit a growth spurt yet. My parents are 5′4 and 5′11…

If anybody has any tips of healthy foods to eat, tips and advice, or something, I really want to obtain my maximum height potential and possible grow to 5′6 as an adult

i’m 16,

5"3

138 pounds (63 kilos)

is there any way i can grow all my friends are 5"10 upwards.

dont give me the genetics lecture or whatever.

Hi I just turned 16 and I am 5′6. Both my parents are short my moms 5′4 and my dad is 5′5. If your height is up to genetics, then is their still a possiblity I will grow to be about 5′10? My doctor told me I’ve only grown an inch from last year is that bad? Thankyou for your time.

i’m currently 15 and i’m 5′2" tall..my dad is 5′6" but my mom is 5′2"..

according to genetics, i still have a chance to grow as tall as my dad..

how can i grow naturally?

ok, im 14, and i am 4 10, and i know its genetics, but what exercises to maximize height growth? i currently jump rope is that good exewrcising for gro taller?

my male cousin is fifteen years old and he’s 5′2". he’s growing very slowly and was told that based on genetics only, his estimated height would be 5′4"-5′5". I know that 70% of your heigh is based on your genes, and 30% is based on nutrition, exercise, etc. but how can you tap into that 30% and grow taller than your estimated height.

im a 12 year old boy and im only 4"11.im turnin 13 in 3 months.im goin into eith grade next school year.
i want to grow taller
plz dont tell me anything about puberty, genetics, growth spurts etc.ive heard all of that. i want some exercises i could do, nutritious foods to eat and other things that that will help me grow.

I know it’s mainly genetics, but are there any foods that will make you grow taller?
Well I am only 13 and still going through puberty (although I started earlier than most girls). The doctor said I might grow a couple more inches…and I am not a dwarf. I’m 5′2and1/2".

hey i just graduated from high school goin off to college in august. i am black 5 foot 9. my dad is about 5 foot 9 but looks a lil shorter than me and my mom is about 5 foot 4-5. i know genetics play a roll but come on my parents are short but how can my brother be 6 foot 3 it doesnt make sense and im stck at 5′9 i feel short. my sister is 5′10. will strectching exercises increase my height. if so what excercises can i do and how long will it take to notice any difference?

Im a 13 year old female and im only like 5ft or 5.1ft. i really want to grow taller but im pretty sure naturally i wont because i’ve barley grown a bit in these past two years. I dont really belive much in drinking milk and excersizeing for getting taller. my parents are pretty short to its probably genetics. Is there any way i could get taller, or some kind of pills that the doctor will say is safe because my mom wont let me take something without a doctor saying its alright to take it. & is there any side affects?

hi everyone. right now im 5/9 and i want to grow to be at least 6/2. so far i keep up a jump rope routine and i drink at least 2 glasses of milk. If you want to throw genetics, both my parents are short BUT my grandpa on my mom’s side is a giant (think hes like 6ft3in) and my aunt is pretty tall herself and so im taller than my parents. yeah…lol any tips anyone?

I’ve just turned 15 two months ago, and I’m at 1.57 – 1.58. Problem is, I really want to grow just a few inches taller, preferably to my maximum height, but I want to tone myself down. My upper body is okay, but my butt and my thighs are massive. Apparently, it’s genetics, but I still want to tone them down properly and grow taller.

So I just wanted to know: is there anything I can do to grow taller to my max height naturally, like by playing sport? And how do I tone my lower body properly?
P.S. The measurements for my height are in metres. Just to clear up a bit

My brother and I are (brother) 6`0 and (myself) 5`1. He is 17 and I am 13. We would both like to grow taller. For some reason we want to be 6`4. Is there any way to grow taller naturally? Or is it just genetics?

I’m 13 years old. I’m 5′1-5′2. I really need to grow taller for basketball. My mom is 5′1 and my dad is 5′7. i read stuff on other peoples answer saying that its genetics ill grow as tall as i can get but im afraid ill be short for the rest of my life. Is there any way i can grow taller naturally w/out taking pills or other dangerous stuff.

im 15. i’m 5′ 6". i would like to be at least around 5′ 10" – 6′ but i know genetics is pretty much the only way ill get that tall and considering the fact that im already taller than both of my parents, it’s gonna be really hard. im taller than my dad by 3" and my mom by around 4"-5".
i dont drink much caffeine of soda at all. i exercise daily by going to the gym or occasionally jogging about 6 miles. i do lift weights and i know that people say it stunts your growth but i want to for sports next year. please any advice to grow taller? i dont have to grow fast but just gradually.

I know genetics determine most of your height, and sleep and food determine the rest, but are there anything i can do besides sleeping and eating that will help me grow taller? My relatives are all tall, even if their parents (my aunts and uncles) are short.

I feel very short…How can I grow taller? I know a lot of it is genetics but there has to be a way to grow other than by drugs or surgery! Help!
I’m going to need to be a little taller to try out for sports teams.

I’m 14 years old and 5′8

Genetics determine roughly 70% of your height, and environmental factors determine the other 30%. Two of these environmental factors are nutrition and exercise.

What are the exercises that can most enhance your height growth, even if it’s only by a few inches? Will constantly running up to the backboard and slapping it many times everyday help you grow taller?

I am 175cm, or 5 feet and 7.4 inches tall at the age of 14 years old. I plan to reach at least 195 cm by the time I am 18.

Thanks in advance for answering.

I'm 12 and i'm about 5ft 2.5 inches.
It seems like i'm not growing anymore…
Though i grow like 3 inches each year, it's like i don't grow anymore!
I want to know how to grow taller…
And for some reason it looks like i got fatter though I'm the same weight and height…
I've heard that you have to like have a good sleep, or drink milk, exercising, and your genetics.
But i don't know which is correct so i'm just like…i don't really know what to do.
