I’m going to a public middle school next year, I’ll be in eighth grade. it’s been four years since I’ve been in a real school, since I home school, and even then it was just a very small private christian school. I don’t get out much, I have no idea what people my age even act like or do on a daily basis besides school, and am absolutely terrified of people. It’s hard for me to just walk around in a public place with other people, and when I see somebody walking towards me, I just freeze up and try to keep my eyes focused on the ground. I do have friends, but they all live far away from me. As you would expect, I have extremely low self confidence. I’m not exactly an attractive person, I have a really round chubby kind of head shape. my hair is naturally dark golden with lighter and darker highlights and mildly curly, but I straighten it because it doesn’t look good with my face shape. My eyes are one of my worst features. They’re a really deep brown, but turn red if I’m in direct sunlight, as I’ve been told my friends. But they look really fake with my hair. I’ve had some people ask me if I was wearing contacts before. I just cant get over how fake and wrong they look. My parents won’t let me get contacts, even though I’ve told them how embarrassed I am about my eyes. I have very pale skin, and freckles, but they’re barely visible. I’m a little chubby, 5’1 and around 145-150 lbs, but I actually look like I have a healthy weight because the weight is really well porportioned. I’ve tried to lose the fat but it just wont come off, I used to walk 2 miles everyday and don’t eat too much, but I didn’t lose any weight at all. I have really broad shoulders and a small head, it looks like my body is too big for my head, and I don’t think I’m going to "grow into it" or anything because it’s been like this ever since I was about nine years old. My only good features is that I have an hourglass body shape (I’m big boned though so it’s not one of the those tall slim kind of shapes), I have big boobs for my age, and my hair color. I know I’m not the ugliest person in the world, but I know and am trying to except that my looks are below average, and I also understand that it’s hard to be ugly and I’m going to get teased about it. I know looks aren’t evrything, but nobody likes to be called ugly. I think I have a nice personality, my friends tell me that I’m a good person, I’m very shy though and can sometimes lack compassion and have a hard time understanding what to do in most situations. However, my parents are constantly telling me that I am a horrible self centered b**ch who doesnt care about anyboy and is always using people. I try to ignore them when they say this, but it’s really starting to affect me and lower my already low confidence. And I hate Justin Beiber, Lady Gaga, Twilight, ect. In fact, I’m actually a big fan of anime, and I am completley aware that most anime fans are really looked down on. And I’m not one of those irrashonal fans whoes whole world revolves around anime (though mine partially does, since I don’t do much and rarely get to see other people) and thinks that everybody an evreything in Japan is just like it is in anime and manga. So how do I survive school? Like I said, I have a very hard time undesrtanding what to do in common situations, and am really scared of people. I know because of my looks I’m never going to get a boyfriend and am going to get teased, so how do I survive the teasing, mean girls, ect? And another really big question, how much homework is there? I don’t think I’ll live through school if I have 5 hours of home work lol.

I’m 16 and she’s 14. We’ve been seeing each other for almost 2 years. I’m 5’6 and I don’t expect to grow much more. My dad is the same height and my mom is 5’2.
My girl comes from a tall family. Both of her parents are tall. When we met she was about 2 inches shorter than me and then she grew alot during the last 2 years and now stands 6’0 even in her barefeet. And she’s still growing! She likes to tease me by wearing high heels to tower over me even more and she stands close to me and look down on me to tease me and make me feel funny. She has one pair that’s so high that when she wears them I come up to her shoulder. I don’t mind it that much but she likes being naturally taller than me and I like her being taller than me now. I like her and she likes me but often we get stares and some people make comments. How do we deal with it?

appearance: doe blue/green-eyed, blond hair (naturally brown), skinny and tall

a 20 year old with a 5 year old daughter who is an aspiring actress
she grew up with movie star parents- so she is very rich and used to getting
everything she wants. She owns a big house and doesn’t know how to cook or clean.

Although she is spoiled and has everything done for her she is fairly kind to others
she gives to charity and is very empathetic towards others- especially children and animals.

She is very opinionated and never hesitates to give her opinion.

Occasionally she becomes a bit insane (this doesn’t happen very often- unless she wants something she can’t have)
but she tends to go as far as tying up someone and threatening them. (She did this to an old boyfriend
whom she thought loved her but he cheated)
also who should the dad be?

should I create a character or should it be a random one night stand?

I’m fourteen and just about 5’2. As a girl, I went through puberty at 11. I really want to grow taller, as I’m one of the shortest girls in my class.. Tell me what is possible… My mom says I may not grow much taller. I want to make the best of it. Perhaps at least 5’2. What can I eat or drink? Are vitamin supplements helpful? If so, which ones?
Genetics: My parents are pretty short. My dad’s only 5’6 and my mom’s only 5’3

I’m currently 5’9.

I would appreciate some help guys. [2011 - Feb - 24]
im 17 years & 3 months. i think im having a growth spurt idk.
parents are both short, they are like 5’2 and 5’6.
1. eat healthy as always (i stay away from junk food and soda exc.) dont smoke/alcohol
2. I drink lots of milk (lots of calcium in it.)
3. I do stretch-exercises every day for 15 minutes. Day, Midday and Night.
(i will play basketball now and then on the summer)
4. I have the best posture ever!
5. I sleep alot, 8-9 hours a day
I know i have posted a same thread like this one before on this forum, but i didn’t get good answers. so lets try again..

What height can I reach by the time i’ve turned 21? Just guess from your mind.
Please be polite with your answer -I respect your opinion. Cheers!

It makes me feel safe.I’m deathly afraid of gaining weight.I literally freak out over a pound.I want to grow taller and skinny but too afraid that i wont get tall instead fat.I’m 15 and I started puberty about 6 years ago and I’ve begin to stop growing and now I’ve notice and stopped eating and don’t want to touch food.
height 5’5
96 pounds
Mom 5’5
Dad 5’9
I look just like my dad but I want this height not his looks also my dad is very naturally skinny.I saw pictures when he was younger and he looked like a aids patient from Africa.
I started playing tennis to help develop my height,unless I grow I wont eat!!!!!My parents are really angry at me because I just drink water 24/7.
I currently have a weird obsession with female models.
will i grow taller?

Well I turned seventeen 3 months ago, and my feet are 11-11 1/2 inches, but I’m 5’6". And i haven’t had good habits like working out and sleep. I grew an inch in height about a year ago. thing is I don’t know much about genetics and how tall my parents are because I’m adopted. Will I grow taller? I hear people grow into their shoe size. Will changing my lifestyle, like getting more sleep, excercise and eating healthy help me get taller?

Thank you.

i am fourteen and im very tall, pale, and i have bright blue eyes. i used to have medium length GORGEOUS dark brown hair. i absolutely loved it, but then my parents stopped letting me dye it. i am naturally blonde and my roots started to grow in

so they let me dye it blonde
only blonde is NOT my color!!!!
it looks so horrible on me and its soooooo damaged/frizzy from the dying process. and since its so damaged, its gtting shorter from the ends breaking off ):…… and i went from looking like a beautiful model to a hideous person with a haystack for hair….

problem: i seriously cry myself to sleep most nights and i spend around 5 hours of my day working on my hair and trying to do everything for it. and thats just for my hair. i spend a lot of time on whitening my teeth, applying makeup, losing weight, everything i possibly can to be more beautiful.

im smart so i REALIZE i have a problem… and i have tried to not care about my looks but they are too important to me

what can i do to stop having this problem?

I am 19 and I am 5’5" tall, my dad is 6’0 and my mom is 5’5", ain’t I supposed to grow taller? Are there any supplements, pills or treatments or things like that that could help me grow taller? Thanks for the help.

By the way, my brother is 15 and he is 5’8". I played soccer since I was 6 and he didn’t, I lifted weights since I was 14 (yeah I have a badass body and good looks, I’m just too short). Did the weight lifting and the soccer affect my growth? If I keep doing it will that decrease my chances of growing?
And yeah, my parents measurements are right. That’s why I am pissed lol I should be at least 5’8"

Yeah, well I have short parents. I think my mom is around 153 cm and my dad is around 170 cm (or maybe even shorter). I was hoping I’d be able to grow to around 165 cm. I just got into high school, so I’m currently in Grade 8. My sister who is over a year older than me is only about 155 cm. Is it possible for me to grow any taller? Would exercising help? I actually am pretty healthy. I eat healthy, take vitamins, do aerobics (On Wii, lol). Also, is it true that girls stop growing 1 1/2 years after they get their period?

I’ve also heard about growth pills that increase your height. Do they actually work? Or do they only work if you haven’t stopped growing?

It’s not that I’m insecure or anything. Just wondering if there’s a chance for me to grow. If there isn’t, then it’s fine with me. xD

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

I’m currently 5’9
I’m 17 and 2 months ( just turned 17 ) – male – and i wanna reach 6′ or higher.
my parents are normal, or idk. mom is 5’2 and dad’s 5’6. i know i have gone through their height already but that doesn’t mean it’s impossible.
My mother’s family is tall, not my father’s.
i hear lots of people say "it’s all in your genes, if your parents are short then you probably will too", well get this- it’s not ONLY genes, it’s 60% genetics and 40% diet/health.
1. eat healthy as always (i stay away from junk food and soda exc.)
2. I drink loads of milk !! (lots of calcium in it.)
3. I do stretch-exercises every day for 15 minutes, (i will play basketball now and then on the summer)
4. I have the best posture ever! the best one in my family, no one in my family has a good posture… so that’s a BIG plus for me.
5. I sleep alot, 8-9 hours a day, sometimes take naps for 30 min a day.

So, i do these things and i hope they pay off. I’m gonna try this out all the way to summer, and then see if i have changed.

Also: If we go deeper in this…
My parents never had a good lifestyle and diet when they were young, so they never got good vitamins in their body. Who knows what height-hormones was hiding behind those bodies. but I on the other hand have a good lifestyle so far. I do my best and work my *** off to get the best results.

Guys, please be gentle with your comment. I respect every opinion you give cos i know Only Pros are here

I am very concerned about of my height. I am only 4 foot 9 , 83 pounds, shaves legs, shaves armpits, 32A bra, vegetarian, and my parents are short, but I just want to know how I can grow!

So my parents have been talking to some friends, and one of their friends families is all short, like for the past 4 generations have all been short, but their kid plays baseball and basketball, and he’s 17 and 6 foot 5.

So, does playing a sport make you grow taller, faster?

ooh, err i’m 5’9 currently

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?

How to grow taller? I am 13 years old and I am only 4 foot 6 inches. I am 99 pounds. My parents are 5 feet 2 inches and 5 feet 5 inches. I play sports a lot about 2-3 hours each day. If I am not playing sports on a certain day then I ride my bike.How many cup of milk a day should I drink?
I want to be taller, not lose weight.

Okay so both my parents are 5"2′ without shoes (yeah I know that’s short for a man) my older brother is 5"6′. Is it possible for me to be 5"7-8". I am 13 years and 9 months years old.

I’m thirteen, goona been fourteen in three months, 5 foot 5, occasionally 5 foot 55(in early morning), though it doesn’t matter that much. Well… Sometimes I sleep 6 hours, usually 7 though, but I sleep like 12 durning weekends. Guilty to say, except walking for a mile everyday from school to my house, I don’t exercise much, unless I got PE sometimes. I really wanna know how to grow taller, oh, and I’m an asian, but that doesn’t matter cuz my parents are quite tall. Oh, and I’m gonna run an extra 2 miles starting next week.
Please let me know ways, but I’m not gonna eat any thing special like pills to gain height.
I WILL CHOOSE BEST ANSWER!

have grown regularly throughout my life. I had really only one big growth spurt when I was about 13 and I have grown maybe about 1-2 inches a year. My doctor did not even think I would be as tall as I am now because my parents are both short, but now he says I may still have another 1-2 inches still to go. My shoe size also goes up a half size every year and a half. My brother is 25 and about 5’10” without shoes and he did not stop growing until he was 21, but my sister is 24 and 5’9”. My father was about 5’7” and my mom is 5’4”. My fathers side of the family is very short, but my mother’s side is huge. Her uncles were all 6’3” +. I am curious about how much taller I can grow. I only shave about once a week, I am starting to notice chest hair and my voice is starting to change, but I still look like I am only 15 or 16 (my age). So am I done or how much do I have to go? Can I reach at least 6’0”? Please answer!!!
