I am 13 year old girl and almost going to be 14 in August. I am 5′2 & 1/2, and I really want to grow a little over the summer.I have been checking and in the past month I grew 1/2 an inch. I have been drinking a lot of milk and calcium a exercising a little. I am going to exercise more to keep in shape. I know it depends on genetics on how tall I’m going to be. But do you think I might grow an inch at least?

DON’T SAY GENETICS BECAUSE A GIRL WAS TALL BORN TO A SHORT PARENTS. HOW DOES GENETICS EXPLAIN THAT????????

ANY NATURAL WAYS TO GROW TALLER AND GAIN MORE MUSCLES???
CUTE ANSWER ALEX

I’m 18 years old and am at or about 6” 1′.

However, i am not satisfied with my height at all. my dream height would be 6” 3′ but im pretty sure that’s not gonna happen because of genetics and fact that im probably pretty much done growing. however, ill take any extra height i can get. even a quarter of an inch. ive heard of this idea of "growing taller naturally after puberty" but im not sure if this is just a scam or if there is some truth to this?

advice greatly appreciated thanks

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

I am 17 years old and at the moment I am 5′7 feet tall. Both my parents are 5′4. I have read a lot about increasing height and that its dependent on genetics. I just wanna ask if regular stretching and balanced diet can get me to 6 feet.
Please do suggest some of the things I should eat that may help me.

For eating properly, I mean eating foods with the nutrients necessary for growth, for sleeping I mean sleeping around 8-10 hours, and for exercising I just want to know if doing exercises like jogging and jump roping can help. I would also like to know if eating yogurt or six meals a day could help you grow taller or at least help you lose weight. Please don’t post any obvious information about growth, myths, or any biased or ignorant answers, such as "genetics is everything".

I am 5′11 or a fraction over in height and I am 20 but you know I really would not mind being a height like 6′2 or 6′4. Okay 6′4 is an insane goal to aim for if I wore lifts that would just make me look pathetic woulden’t it?

My mum is 5′2 and my dad was 5′10 1/2. Is there anyway I can get taller like 6′1 maybe? Are my genetics just holding me back from growing over 6ft?

Please if there is anyway I can grow taller naturally please suggest an idea. I have developed a muscular body though lifting heavy weigths but I think that might have stopped me from growing?

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?

I was wondering if there was any way or method to help enhance someone’s growth in height. Now I know a majority of the answers are that genetics is the only way, but I was wondering if there was any other way to help me grow taller.
Also, Im 15 and am about 6 foot 2. And weigh about 172 pounds. I play ALOT of basketball, but I was wondering if there was anything tho to help me grow more. Please help me!!!!!!

okay so im 14, turning 15 in 2 months and couple of days. and i hate how im so short. im chinese btw. my mom is prettty tall 5′7. but my dad is hecka short, like 5′5 or 5′6 and i hate it because i take after my dad. we’re both socialbe, talkative, love sports, and hate school. so my parents are obviously both chinese. my mom’s dad was almost 6 but then my dad’s dad is like 5;7 and his mom isnt that tall either…like 5′3 or something but thats pretty good. so now on to me. i am only 5 ft and 3 cm and that sucksss! i grew like 1/2 inch between 8th and 9th grade. so i heard many things that sleep, food, and sports can make u grow taller. but isn’t it mostly genetics. so my question is how can i grow taler? i want to be at least 5 ft 1 inch by the itme im 15. but i dont think thats coming true..plz help. how can i grow taller???? and naturally…nothing like taking pills.

So im 5′2, (16 yrs) my parents are 5′3 and 5′6. I dont know if its genetics or not, but, are there any exercises that i can work on, or take up a sport that’ll help me grow at least like 2 or 3 inches?? thanks!! (by giving you my age, i was wondering if i can grow any taller, or if i stopped growing. i noticed that when i used to take swimming classes, i grew like 2 inches taller, but that option isn’t available any more)

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.
