One’s height might usually depend on their genes, but I know that lifestyle choices can affect one’s growth spurt as well. Besides the whole general balanced diet with fruits and veggies and exercising certain amount of time per week, are there specific exercises/stretches one can do to help them grow? What are they and how would they help? (If you know any sources to back it up, it will be greatly appreciated). How daily do you have to do these exercises/stretches in order for them to be effective in aiding one’s growth? 10 points for best, thorough answer!! Thanks in advance.
IKnow- Do you by any chance know at what age most people stop growing (esp for females)?

I grew about 2 inches in 3 months and my mom says it’s my growth spurt.

I was wondering if there’s anyway I can grow taller like drinking lots of milk etc..

Also I drink chocolate milk everyday should I drink normal milk instead or is it just like drinking milk and eating chocolate? Ok that sounded stupid….

Thank you!

im just wondering. do u know any models who were actually quite short at younger age, and then just hit a growth spurt and started to grow like 4-5 inches? Or is every model just naturally tall, even when they were very young?( like 15,16,17)

Hi I am 16 I am 5’7 and My doctor says I am a very late bloomer, Does this mean I will grow till like 25 or just haven’t reached my main growth spurt? Also what I wanna know does exercising helpe you grow like walking hiking u know and is it a myth that weight lifting stunts your growth and caffeine?

Okay, I’m a little desperate here.

I’m a 14 year girl, and I’m extremely short.
I’m about 155cms tall (5.1"), and I’ve never had a growth spurt. I’m starting to feel like it’s never gonna happen, and I seriously need one (as you can see).
And yes, I’ve hit puberty. I got my periods when I was 12, and I still haven’t grown dramatically. AT ALL.

My mum is 153cms/5.0" tall (I should say short), and my dad is about 160cms/5.2".

I know a lot of people say that your height is usually the same height as your parents, but I don’t believe that.
My cousin has short parents like mine, and he’s about 180cms/5.9".

Is there anything I can do to make me taller naturally? Anything I should eat? Any specific exercises I should do? And will I ever get my growth spurt?!

Help would be much appreciate! Thank you

I just turned 20 years old, i’m 5 foot 5inch, have a size 11.5 shoe, grew an inch in the past 8 months, my puberty really started going when i was 16 i have a very large rib cage so i look stocky (i’m one of those people when they say are just big boned i am) I am direly afraid that i am not going to grow anymore just because of my age and rate at which Ive been growing, had a very small growth spurt around 15, and then hight has been slowly creeping up since then to my hight of 5′ 5”, my brother is about 5′ 8” 5′ 9” wheres a size 8.5 i believe somewhere around there and he is 24, but not sure how long he has been that tall, everyone in my family always expected me to be tall because of my feet, i’m scared that they are wrong, i mean i don’t want to be like 6′ 2” no anywhere from like 5′ 8” to 5′ 10” would be fantastic 5′ 8” being good 5′ 10” being amazing, should i be worried that this will never happen, i am very insecure about my hight, i really don’t want to stay this short
would drink milk but am a bit lactose intolerant

Well, I think I’m a worrying too much about my height, even though I’m tall already. But I don’t like other people growing taller than me. I don’t know why, I just don’t.

First of all, I’m 15, 6ft, 11stone, and I’m a Vegetarian, if you need to know that.

Anyway, I’ve done some measurements today. It came out to be 185cm, which converts to about 6ft 1. I remember in my first year of high school (3 years ago now), I was 175cm. So I’ve grown 10cm in three years. It doesn’t seem like a great amount, so I don’t think I’ve had a growth spurt lately. I think I probably had one in Primary School. :\

But my question is, do you think I can expect another growth spurt in the next few years? Or will my growth be coming to a stop round about now? (I know men apparently grow till they’re like 21, but my best friend who’s a girl and just a couple of cm smaller than me said her brother stopped growing around 15).

So yeah, what do you think? Is the 10cm in 3 years significant? Some other boys in my school seem to be smaller than me at the start of the year, but have grown quickly and overtaken me by the end of the year. :\ I know I shouldn’t worry about it but I just can’t help it.

(Btw. Don’t suggest spiking my hair up or anything to appear taller. It doesn’t actually make me taller, just appear taller. I want to be naturally taller. xD)
Erm. Well I’m definitely 185cm, so I must be taller than you. But I used an online calculator to convert it, and it came out as 6ft 1. I really hate imperial calculations though.

Are you sure you haven’t got your own calculations wrong? Sorry. 6ft 3 is apparrently 190cm. =\
I meant I used an online calculator to convert it from 185cm to foot and inches. I’ve checked various websites, and they all say 185cm IS 6ft 1.

I am 15 year old male and I haven’t grown much in the past 5 years! I’m still 5 feet tall for almost 5 years straight. I’m worried that I’m not growing at all and I’m disappointed that I had gone and passed over the "growth spurt" age (age 13). As you know, I’m now the shortest in class and does anyone know and help me out how to get taller? My goal is to reach at least 5′ 6" by the end of 2008. It doesn’t matter if it exceeds beyond my goal as long as there is a big solution. In my family, their average height is 5′ 6" and my race is Asian. Does this affect and stun my growth? Anyone, can you help me find a solution how to get taller so that I could reach my goal in 2008?

My growth spurt started a while ago and i recently started to notice that i havent been growing as fast and much as i use to…is there any foods or sports that can help me grow? Thanks

Any tips and info will be well appreciated

I really want to grow taller, and I’m not sure if I’ve had my growth spurt yet. I am a female, age 15.

what can I possibly do to grow to my maximum possible height?

no surgery LOL

okay i am late into puberty and i just got my period this year. I’m 16 and im only about 5’1 1/2. My breasts are just now starting to grow. I eat healthy and such but does anyone know if there’s any chance i could get a growth spurt? thanks for you answers. also any tips to help me become taller would be great.
oh and i have grown about an inch and a half from the end of 2008.

can say, a 13 year old girl has been through her growth spurt or after she has gone through puberty…can she grow even taller in the years to come? If so, how can she speed up her growing or make herself taller naturally? (things to eat, do, etc…)

I am a teenage boy
I am currently 15 years old
I started my puberty around 14 years old
My growth spurt started around 14 1/2 years old
I’m around 180 pounds and I really need to lose weight
I know that I will "grow it out" but I need to lose weight ASAP
for my P.E fitness test
Can anyone tell me how to lose weight healthily/naturally while growing tall to my max potential (I’m worried to lose weight because I heard if you work out your growth hormones go to you muscles and I heard if you don’t eat a lot you won’t get your nutrients and grow).

Im 13. A boy. And I’m 4’10. How do I grow taller. And what age will I hit my growth spurt. I still have a pitch high voice. But I am growing hair on the genitals, and I’m getting a lot of erections. Which are 2 signs that I’m in puberty. But when will I actually hit my growth spurt stage. It’s so embarissing to be short. I get made of at school sometimes( althoughnowhere near how much I got made fun of in elementary school)and although my size isn’t mentioned very often, I know I get made of because of my size. And I like a girl that’s really tall she looks like she’s 5’7. And I was purely shocked to find out I am actually older than her(by just under a month). And how many tall girls do you know that would date a 4’10 boy. I’m so embarrissed of my height. How do I grow taller. And when will I hit my natural growth spurt. And for the record my dad is like 5’4 or 5’5. And my mom is like 5’6 . But according to my dad my grandfather was very tall (in my dads opinion), like 5’10 or 5’11.

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
