I’m only 5"6, I’m a guy, and I wanna grow taller.lol do stretching exercises could help me grow taller? My parents are about the same height as me and I’m already 18. Could it be genetic? or am I just short because I used to workout everyday when I was 14….I heard we’re not supposed to work out till 18…?

I’m a guy, I am 19 years old and I’m 5′4

My parents are around the same height, so I doubt I will get any taller.

Sometimes I wonder why my mom had to marry a a guy who’s shorter than the average guy, but not much I can do about that, nor would I ever dare say anything about that as I realize that would be wrong/rude/etc. But someone with English, Irish, Dutch and French heritage should be at least 6′0+

I am willing to do ANYTHING, ANYTHING to get taller. So I’m considering leg lengthening surgery, which is extremely painful and recovery can be up to a year, but I’m willing to do it. I looked it up and insurance will cover it. Problem is that supposedly some places won’t do it for people who are above 5′0, so I’m wondering if I’d even be allowed to do it?

I’m also wondering if other people would look down on me for doing it? Do you think it’s a good idea? Please be honest, thanks.

My parents keep telling me to do them, but do they really make you taller? Are there even any exercises to make you taller?

I’m 5′6, 14 y/o and 120 pounds

Hello, I am 19 years old

My posture is quite bad, but I always sit up straight now, in hopes of correcting it

I want to grow taller, by 10cm/4inches. Is this even possible?
How do would I do it?

No herbal supplements or anything

I just want to know of good exercises to do to grow taller (and possibly good food) by 4inches or even 2inches

Many thanks in advance for your advice/information
One year, or even less time would be good too!
sar11572’s advice about posture is helpful. Can anybody describe these back and abdominal exercises?

I am 3 – 4 inches taller than both parents. What does this mean?

I’m 16 and I’m not even a size 32 in bra size. I wear training bras and it’s embarrassing!!! I’ve been this size ever since I was 13 and it sure ISN’T growing! I’m not those "as skinny as a stick" person… i have a lot of muscle and I’m a BIT chubby… but fairly skinny if that even makes any sense. I’m 5′1.5" tall and not getting any taller… but I’m fine with my hight… it’s my breasts I’m not happy about. They’re too small and I always get picked on for them, from boys and girls. I’m not going in for surgery…nu-uh! And i hear that whole "eating the right kind of food" is BS…. I don’t know how to massage my breasts so I don’t even try… but I heard some people saying "How I made my Breasts grow bigger naturally" book.. thing… actually works… no lie. But I can’t buy it and my parents will laugh at me if I tried…! What should I do? If anybody’s tired that book… manual… whatever….. could you at least tell me if it works, please? Does ANYTHING work at all??????? (And don’t even try to pull off that "just love yourself the way you are" stuff… that’s BS…. I’m not happy about getting picked on by my breasts… especially from guys that dare to look down there…! Thank you!

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

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.

I’m around 10 years old (not going to give out my real age). I’m 5 feet which is a pretty decent height for my age, but since I’m Asian and my parents are short, I just know I’ll be short when I’m an adult. Will I be able to grow taller within 1 or 2 months if I keep on doing height exercises? And to those who did these exercises regularly, does it work? I hope to grow taller by 2 or 3 inches by 2 months. If you have any tips or experience with height exercises please put them in your answer and please put as much details as possible! Thank you! -also I’m not allow to buy anything on the internet, so I can’t buy the "Grow taller 4 idiots" guide.

I want to be grow taller. I beg with my friends that I will taller than them in two years. I’m 5′5 ft and 17. We actually wrote down the paper that so, and my signature. My parents are both short. But I believe I could grow more in the future, there are plenty of pills and stuff that i could try. Eating habits, sleeping, exercise and stuffs. I’m kind of optimistic, at least give them a try.
If Im not grow anymore, there is nothing worth to live! sigh
i always dream to be taller and stuffs.

I’m 16, almost 17 and i’m only 5′6-5′7. My brother’s 21 and is like 5′8 – 5′10. We both outgrew my parents. My mom is around 4′11 or something and my dad is like 5′4. How tall will I get up to? And how can I grow taller naturally? I don’t want any stupid pills or anything like that.
I’m also around 145 pounds. I use to be 172 freshman year which was 2 years ago.

I’m only 5′1" and at this age, I’m considered short plus if i’m to talk about genetic, both my parents esp. my father’s family has the history of tallness and big body build. Being the smallest and shortest in family depressed me…can any specialist give me some advice on what and how can i do to grow myself taller through special diet and fitness? I’m even I" shorter than my mum!

I really want to be 6 4′ or taller. Right now I am 5 11′ and just turned 15. I am east Asian and weigh 138 pounds. Both of my parents are 5 6. However my grandpa was 6 4′ and my great grandpa was 6 7′ on my moms side. What can I do to grow taller and how tall will I grow if I haven’t had a major growth spurt yet. I really want to be taller because I want to play college basketball. Any advice is really appereciated.

i am 14 and i think 4 "11" or something like that. Im always getting made fun of because of my height and girls just look at me like a cute little brother. What are things that can help me grow faster.
Also my parents arent that short and my brother who is 16 is taler then my mom.

I am 5′8 and i am trying to be a model. The necessity to be a runway model is that you atleast have to be 5′11. So i want to increase my height. Is there any possible natural or artificial risk free way to do so?If yes then please tell me. I am in a dire need of it. Thnx. PS. I am 20 year old.
Also, i m taller then my parents and my sister. I think i got that from my mother side of the family, because there are many taller people in that family.

Does anyone here know how to increase your height naturally and a whole lot faster? Like grow at a natural but quick pace? I drink milk twice a day, i am very thin, my current height I believe is 5′6.5" and I am a 14 year old boy.. my parents range from 5′6-5′9.

Hey,
When I was little,my doc said I’ll be approx. 5′7-5′8.My dad is only 5′6 and my mom 5′5(My older sister too)so I don’t get it since some people say children grow as tall as their parents.But my friend once told me that at each generation,people get taller,so I’ll be taller than my parents,my children taller than me etc.
I’m 13(nearly 14)and 5′4,I’ve had growth spurts but lately I haven’t been growing much.Could it be possible that my doc got it wrong?Or is it possible that I might still grow a couple more inches?Also,I’m not as skinny as my friends(I’m not overweight though),as all their weight comes to their boobs,but I have really thick thighs,my shape is really weird(small boobs,skinny arms and huge thighs that rub),my mom said it’s normal,and since I’ll grow much taller,I’ll lose a lot of weight naturally and my shape will be adjusted.But I’ve heard that as a teenager you naturally GAIN weight,so I’ll gain even more weight IF I grow taller,Please,tell me whats true!

Ok, so I just turned 15 a few days ago (gr. 10) and I’m 5′6 without shoes on. I’m a guy btw. I want to know how tall I will grow.

My dad is 5′10 and a half. Hes 176cm tall

My mom is 5′3

My mom’s father is 6′0 and my mom’s brother is 6′0

My dad’s sisters are around 5′7-8 and my dad’s brothers are 5′11

My dad grew really late. He grew 2-3 inches when he was 18-20. I saw a picture of him, he was around 5′6 in high school.

My dad’s side cousins (who are in their 20s) are 6′6”(seriously hes tall as a freak, he also is a pro golf player), and 6′1”. I have a cousin who is the same age as me and the last time we met which was in the summer he was 1 cm taller than me.

My mom side has only one cousin and shes a girl ( if you need to know shes like 5′4 and shes 16)

So, I’m like the 4th shortest guy in my grade (theres 55 guys in my grade). And i’m the same height as a guy who’s parents are (5′7 and 5′0).

I sleep aroudn 61/2- 71/2 hours a day.

I drink choclate milk in random bursts (like 1 week i’ll drink a lot and the next week i’ll drink very little)

I’ll admit i don’t eat vegetables. my parents pampered me when i was a kid so they never made me eat my vegetables and now i hate vegetables. (i’m trying to start eat vegetables, like carrots and celery in my dinner (but this is still not often, I go many days without eating a single vegetable)

I am stressed. I go to a super competitive highschool and quite a few of the students sleep 6 hours a day or less. we have a lot of hw and projects and the like. (95% of our student body gets 90% or higher percentile on all sections of the SAT and PSAT)

I don’t really know why i’m so stressed about my height. it also doesn’t help that i’m one of the shortest guys in the grade and even my friends who used to be the same height as me are shooting up.

So, if you actually know how tall people grow and you can enter this data into the brain of yours just attempt to give me an estimate of how tall I will grow.

P.S. I heard basketball makes you grow taller by jumping. I don’t play basketball mainly becasue i’m so short, but i want to know if its true. If there are any suggestions that people do that help them gain height (no pills or surgery) I would appreciate it.

okay, i’m 14 and around 166cm. i feel really short, although i am taller than the majority of my classmates, i still want to be taller. is there any way that i can grow? my parents aren’t that tall, so it’s very unlikely that i’ll grow any taller naturally….=( i’m just wondering if there is anyway that i can grow taller without surgery (i heard that we can get surgery to make ourselves taller, but that’s just too creepy) so please HELP ME!!!!
also, i joined my school basketball team last year and the year b4…but it seems like i’m not getting any taller. =( i know i shouldn’t worry that much about my height, but i just kinda wanna be taller!

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’m 16 and 5′3 and 3/4. I’ve been in the 5′3" range since I was 11. I guess I started puberty early, because I got my period a week after my 10th birthday. I dont remember how tall I was then, but in 2nd grade I was 4′8". In second grade I was also size 8 shoe. Now I am a size 10 shoe.. which is weird seeing as I’m pretty short, and people with those size shoes as girls are almost 6 feet tall.

I really want to grow taller.. is it going to happen since feet grow before the rest of your body? I play volleyball and even though I have good hops, I won’t be able to go far with it competing for a spot on a team with taller girls who will reach the top of the net faster since they are closer to the top of it. My older sister is 6′1" and has size 13 shoe. But she started puberty when she was 12-13 years old. My parents are both in the 5′8-5′10" range, too.

My height is the only part of me I feel self conscious about. I like to be taller than other people. Like preferably get in the 5′8"-5′10" range. I don’t care if there’s less guys.. I want to date a tall guy anyways, but I don’t want there to be a huge height difference between us.
What are other signs your growing taller apart from your feet? I’ve actually been size 10 shoes since I was 14 or 15. I used to be like 9 3/4, so I’d wear size 10 and it would be a bit roomy, but I could also wear size 9 1/2. but now I just wear 10.
What are things I can do to hasten the growing process, too?

So, I’m 17, I’m 5 feet 3 inches tall and I weigh 98 pounds. My parents are short too but I’ve heard that it’ll possible to grow taller by exercising and stuff. Is it true? What exercises are the best? What else should I do to increase my height naturally? I want be 5 feet 6 inches at least… Please help.

I’ve just turned 17 and I’m very worried about my height issue. I havent been growing for years i think.. My nutritional diet is very well. My parents are quite short. I’m 5′7 and I am very eager to being 5′9+. Is there anyway that can help me into growing taller?

I am 13 and I already had my period. I think I’m 5′2" and my parents aren’t that tall either. This guy in my class grew 6 in. in 6 months and now he is 6′1" and also can that really happen to girls too? I drink 5 cups of milk per day and stretch a lot. However, I am considered rather short in my class. Is there any way for me to grow at least 3 more inches? TY!
