So my cousin wants me to help her about her height since she doesn’t have a Yahoo account yet.
Uhm, she’s turning 12 on October and only about 55 or 54/12 inches so that’s like 4’7 (about 139-140cm). She’s one of the shortest people in her class, and wants to change that.
Is there any naturally way(s) that can grow taller? And when does your growth spurt starts (She hasn’t started her period yet)? She knows it’s all about genetics, etc.
Oops, I meant to put 54 1/2. (:
*that she can grow taller

lol. sorry about that.

Hey guys, i am currently 15 years old, and i am only 5’4. To be honest, i have not noticed any significant growth in height at all but maybe i just missed it, and already had a growth spurt as my parents are also quite short. My mom is 5’2, dad is 5’6.(My sister who is 17, is taller than both my parents, as she is 5’7.(Which is even more weird) Also, my dad’s side is tall, as all his brothers are 5’10 – 6’2, and my mom’s side was around 5’6′ 58. So i guess, my real question is am i done my growth in height and did i already have my growth spurt, but i just did not realize it? Also, why is it that my parents brothers/sisters were all much taller than them, yet they turned out short?

I had pubic hair since i was 13, but my armpit hair came when in my late 14′s. My voice changed around 13, and it seems to have steadied to a lower voice now(15 yrs age). My hands and feet are big for my size, as i wear size 10 shoes, and my hands, i’ve noticed got longer during this summer.

i am a 13-year-old girl , i haven’t had a growth spurt since i was like 8 and i’m 5ft 1", everyone is really tall at school so i feel even smaller and my sister is 5 ft 6, and my shoe sie is 6 1/2, will i grow taller?

I am 15 and about 5’9". To most people this is really tall, but i am a volleyball player and to play in college at my position you have to be just a little taller. The thing is i had my growth spurt in my early year and haven’t really grown but 1-3 inches in about 3 years. What can i do to help increase my height?

So I’m turning 15 in about 3 months, so right now its summer and I’m 14. In seventh grade I was 4’10, and I just finished 9th grade at 5’6. But, I’m still really short. My mom is 5 feet and my dad is 6 feet, and I’m 100% Chinese, making me a lil’ short. But, I would like to get much taller. Is there a way to grow like 4 inches naturally? Or am I still due for another growth spurt soon. What foods should I eat/drink? I drink milk and Orange juice with Calcium and Vitamin D. Help I don’t wanna be short forever!
Yeah, I should mention, I’m a dude.

I’m 14 now but 15 in september. I am around 5 foot 3 which is considered quite tall in my family,but that’s because i’m from an east asian family (though my twin brother is tall and my dad).
Anyway, I used to be definitely above average in height in primary school and average in year 7, but now alot of people who were shorter than me are taller than me and my twin brother cameron was always shorter than me and since high school he shot up. Though, i guess he’s a guy and that happens but same with shorter girls who have shot up above me too.
I have been this height for a while now (I have a height chart on my wall), around half a year ago, i was growing veryy slowly like 2 cm every 2 or 3 months but now i’ve seemed to stay around this height pretty much since. I don’t think i’ve had a growth spurt or will have one or is it that i’m just growing VERYY slowly?
Also, I had my period before alot of my friends and developed before too, but my breasts are only a size 34A which is really small compared to ALOT of girls my age and some even in the year below. I’ve stayed this size for about a year or less as well.
I’m 41kg and I know this is quite light, but trust me, I eat alot. I think it’s because I have a high metabolism or i’m quite sporty. And I get around 8 or 7 hours sleep, but I do eat quite a healthy diet.

Is it possible i’m not growing to grow much taller than this? I am taller by a few cm than my mum, she’s about 5 foot 3 and my dad’s around 5 foot 10, my twin brother is 5 foot 7 and my other brother (17) is around 5 foot 6 or 7.

Is there any thing I could do to help my growing increase faster naturally? Or any other tips? Is there a way to check that you are still growing (Apart from height and breast size obviously, since these don’t seem to help-this is a bit stupid this question ha ha)
I know that girls don’t stop growing till around 18 but could it be different because i’m asian and to do with my parents genes?

P.S I heard junk food is supposed to stunt growth but I guess I eat quite balanced. Though, I like to eat sweets like most teens but I don’t eat them too regularly. And sorry and thanks for taking the time to read this 5 year long question. Aha

Right now I’m 15 years & 7 months old
I’m 5’9 and weigh 156lbs

Currently my mom is 5’10
And dad is 6’4

I think I’m done growing naturally

Is there any pills that’ll give me another growth spurt of 3+ inches

Recently, i have lost a lot of weight, Also.
i am 15 and i am still waiting for a growth spurt.
But i do have leg fat in my thighs and i would like to get rid of it.
Kids at school always make fun of me, Because they are tall and skinny or SHORT and skinny.
I am tired of waiting and being made fun of.
I am supposed to grow to be 6.2 ft like my mom and dad.
I always am jealous of my best friend, she is naturally skinny and lean.
So please please please help me build my self esteem.
Thanks so much!
- Sam
I forgot to add, I am Vegetarian and i eat almost nothing 2 meals per day. and then i work out for 1 hour dancing, running, pushups and crunches.
Is that enough? do i just wait for that to kick in? I started doing this about 3 weeks ago.
thanks :]

Im 12 and have all ready gone through puberty and have had a huge 5inch growth spurt. im 5 4′ and i have people shooting right up past me. My best guy friend is 5 6′ or 5 7′ and hasn’t hit his growth spurt. I drink milk and play sports but im not growing. How can i grow taller naturally?

I’m currently 5’8 at 17 and have a 4’11 mum and a 5’7 dad. I assume they shrunk a inch or two as they’re 50+.

You see, I want to be a high fashion male model but the requirements are high, minimum at about 5’11.

I’m from an asian ethinic background (Cambodian and Chinese) but I have been told I had tall grandparents, two uncles and a aunty who died in the Pol Pot War. I say this because my mum and and two surviving uncles were quite short (mum side, uncles about 5’6) compared to their siblings. Mum told me that the goodlooking people had to die etc Have no idea why? (my mum is just short, thankfully). I don’t want you guys to get too attached to this story but yes, I had uncles, aunties and grandparents around 5’10 to 6ft plus. This is just my mum side, I rarely talk to my dad as we bicker occasionally.

My shoe size is 11 ½ inches US which is awkwardly not proportioned to my height (dunno whether it’s a sign). I’ve never really had a growth spurt, I just gradually grew into my height. Mum said I was about 3ft when I was 2….

I’m just psyching myself out because I do think I will get upset if I don’t grow anymore.

Lately, I’ve been taking nature owns multivitamins to replace all my missing supplements and drinking milk and I do sleep 8 hours a night even on school nights.

Is there anyway to improve my chances on becoming taller, even though I might not?

As I assume the majority of users on WP are over 18, are there people who’ve had similar worries to me at my age and realised they actually grew taller? Like how tall were you at 17 and how tall are you currently?
P.S. As I’ve taken time to write my message, please don’t copy and from some other similar post but tell me what you think etc.

And don’t tell me things that I probably know… Such as the exact age when people stop growing

I turned 16 a month ago, and it’s gonna be summer now. I don’t know why, but I think I usually tend to grow over the summer, might be because I sleep alot more but I don’t know. Anyway, I’m about 5’10” and my shoe size is 8-9. My hands and feet are kind of small, but I’m okay with my height. My dad is 6’2” or 6’3” and wears shoe size 13, but my mom is like 5’5” and obviously has tiny feet lol. I was just wondering if I will sort of.. "fill out" over this summer maybe. I don’t care much about height but I do wanna know if it’s possible that my hands and feet will grow to more adult sizes, hopefully to shoe size 10 and hands a little longer/thicker since I’m guessing they’re not done growing. My dad’s feet didn’t stop growing until he was 18, but I don’t think I’ll be as tall as him. Anyway, that’s why I usually wait until end of the summer to buy new school shoes because I may have grown a size or half of one. So is there a chance I can grow this summer ? Or what can I do to promote more growth naturally in height and also extremities ? I know I can’t theoretically have another growth spurt, but if I have a good amount of growth left, will I see some this summer ? I haven’t grown for a while. Thanks. (: – Kev.

I am currently 4’11" and am 14 years old. I am constantly teased for being short, and will be a freshman next year which won’t help. My dad is only 5’6" and so is my mom. I have recently grew 2 1/2 shoe sizes over the summer, and am hoping that will trigger a growth spurt. What should i expect?

it sucks i’ve been short my whole life.
i remember in kindergarten that the teachers told me i was the shortest kid, so then i cried and i just think it was cruel for them to hurt my self estem like that it sucks i just turned 15 i’m only 5’4" and i preety sure i din’t hit my growth spurt yet. and i’m just wondering if there is a good chance of me growing a couple of inches beause i can’t stand being small any more . and if i don’t grow anymore is there a surgery that can ake my legs longer. i thought i saw something on this show once.
if you could tell me of a way i could grow taller through diet or exercise i would be very greatful

Ok i really want to be in the 6’0s im 5"11 and 16 years old will stretching my legs and spine exercises work and p.s. if im 5"11 at 16 am i done growing or is there another growth spurt after 16

I havent really had my growth spurt yet and I wanted to stimulate it im like 5"3 and 16 right now im currently doing exercises that target the lower back and Im drinking lots of milk eating yogurt and getting vitamins from lots of fruits such as bananas carrots. will the follwing help me grow?

is there anything you want to throw in that could help? thank you.

I’m 15 & about 5’9…close to 5’10, and wondering how I could further increase my height. I know that sleep has a lot to do with the growth process, and that eight hours is required if you’re trying to get maximum growth. I also heard that there are certain hormones released during exercise that are released during sleep that cause growth. Is there any truth to that? And what all can I do to get maximum growth.

I may be dreaming, but I’d love to be able to grow to being anywhere from 6’5-6’8, and I want to make that possible.
Lol, thanks for the answers thus far and I know it sounds crazy to want to be from 6’5-6’8, but it is somewhat possible considering I haven’t actually hit my growth spurt. I was just wondering if there were any outside factors I could control, so when I do hit my growth spurt, I’ll be as tall as possible.

And I’m not insecure about my height or anything, just so you all know.

i am 14 and 4’11". i am wondering when i will grow, never had a growth spurt in my life. my mom and dad are 5’6" and both uncles, mom and dads side, are 6’4, and both aunts, moms and dads side, are 5’10". i weigh 83 lbs and my shoe size grew 2 1/2 sizes last sumer, and 1 this year. when will i grow taller? and how tall?

I’ll be 15 next month, I’m 5’4 male, my face hair started grow and I have some hair on my face.
so that means I won’t have growth spurt and my GROW IS DONE OR WHAT?

I’M JUST 5’4 I WANT TO GROW TALLER
my father is 5’5 and my mother is 5’3 , my brother is 5’11
so will I grow taller or what?

Im 15 and wear a size 14 shoe, Im around 5"8. My dad says Im supposed to grow a lot taller, when will i get a growth spurt??

I’m currently 5’9.

I would appreciate some help guys. [2011 - Feb - 24]

im so f*cking sory, my height is now 5’9. DUHH!!!

The thing is I am thirteen years old and 5ft1 1/2in, but I have a feeling I won’t be growing more anytime soon. I reached puberty when I was in fifth grade so basically my growth spurt is done. I really really want to be tall but both of my parents are short. Also, I’m tired that all of my friends are way taller than me. But I know that I might not grow any taller and just stay this height for the rest of my life. Please…do you have any tips or advice?

I’m 14, female, 5’1 1/2 ft. I have one parent that’s tall and one parent that’s not. I started my period at age 11 but I haven’t grown since then. I believe I didn’t have a growth spurt yet! Am I a late bloomer? Am I still growing? If there is any food or techniques that will help me? I want to grow between 5’6 – 5’8 feet tall and I hate being short. >:l
