I am 17 and 5"7 (Please don’t say that’s a fine height because it isn’t). When I go to the store, I get treated like a child and sometimes people think I’m like a freshman in high school and it really kind of hurts my feelings but I know they don’t know any better.

When me and my dad go places together, I get a BIG taste of the short man vs tall man lifestyle.

My dad is 6"1 and women treat him with respect and sometimes they giggle around him because he is cute and is good at social skills. I am cute to, but the HEIGHT is the big difference. I can’t really explain how women act toward short guys but it’s kind of cold and they DO in fact treat tall guys with more respect.

So I am NOT going to live this short man’s lifestyle for the rest of my life because it’s miserable to me and it makes me depressed when I go out in public to events and such.

Because in our shallow world, height really DOES matter to the majority of the population even though there are those sweethearts that will accept you for who you are and couldn’t care less.

But I’m shallow to, when I see guys like 5"4 I think I am automatically better then them because I am taller. I fight against this thought and get to know the person and they actually turn out to be fairly descent.

But there is a part of me that ALWAYS feels like I am a bit better then them because that is our nature as humans. Which is why I’m really never nervous around guys shorter than me.

Also, I know some of you will say "Puberty isn’t finished for you yet" but it kind of is. I have broad shoulders, pubic hair that extends across my thighs and up to my belly button, a cracked voice, and an adult looking bone structure.

So are height increasing shoes really not bad for a person like me?

So Now Im 17, I posted a thing about growing taller question a few months ago when I was 5’9", and I am VERY proud to say that I am 5’10" and a half. Ive been working out some, getting some sun (not too much, but enough), and eating healthier, and just relaxing and taking it easy. Im about to start swimming because in egypt (Im half egyptian), its a proven fact that swimming laps consistently makes you grow taller(if your still in the "growing phase"), so yeah, mainly my question now is, ‘Is there any other exercises I can do to grow taller?’
why do people keep saying "puberty" to me, isnt a person done with puberty when they are 14 or 15? (no pun intended)

So I am a 19 year old guy. From what I can remember and see in pictures i havnt grown more than an inch or so in a bout 2 to 3 years. I am 5’7.5" now on a good day or with shoes about 5’8"…I dont consider my self short but I am not tall either. I think average is 5’9" but whenever I compare myself to other guys i always come out shorter!!! obviously I hit puberty a long time ago. I wear size 11 shoes but I cant grow much more that thick peach fuzz on my chin and a light mustache…sooo does that mean I will still grow and hit a "second puberty"??? Please let me know if I can still grow or if you have similar stories! Thanks

PS. Would you consider me short right now??

hi, im a 16 years old, (almost 17) male.
im 6feet tall, and weigh about 145 pounds. yes i am very skinny.
i abruptly grew, about 3 inches or so, for about a year, and my height seems to have reached its limit.
my body is rather boylike. i dont have broad shoulders or thick arms, and no "adult" muscles are to be seen in my body.

my question is, do muscles naturally grow during puberty? im a late bloomer, and other than my height, voice and pubic hair, nothing else in my body resembles that of an adult. will this have any effect?

Is there a way to increase ones height when you are 26 yrs old? Is there a medicine, procedure or exercise that help increase height?

Or any of you guys out there knows somebody who grew taller after puberty years… If you know someone can you tell me what they did to increase their height.

Okay, so I am a 5’4, 18 year old, white female. I have recently lost weight. I was 140 pounds and now I am down to 120. I was a 34B (barely) before I lost weight and now I feel like my breasts are even smaller, perhaps down to an A cup. I feel like my breasts never really "grew" after I hit puberty. They are still very pre-pubescent and pointy shaped. I still have flab on my stomach, so I would like to lose more weight to become a bit more toned, perhaps down to 115.

Anyway, my younger sister is 13 years old, around 5’0 tall, weighs 112 pounds, and has always had a skinny, toned, curvaceous body naturally. I wouldn’t be so upset about this if she didn’t ALREADY have round, full, 34B breasts. My breasts never rounded out like hers have, nor were they ever as full as hers.

My question is, will my body always look so young and awkward? I feel embarrassed because she is so much younger than me and already has what I never had. I am concerned because I am already eighteen, and my breasts haven’t changed shape or size since I got my first period when I was 12.

Also, my mother is a size F or G bra or something ridiculous. I’m not looking for melons on my chest, but i’d atleast like to feel like a fully grown woman. Will my breasts grow/round out or am I done?

Hello All!

I’ll get straight to the point.
Right, well I’m 15, 16 in 3 months – I’m only 5’5. I’ve had 2 growth spurts, and have decent amount of facial hair – My mum’s about 5′ my dad about 5’4.

I know I’m approaching the end of puberty, but I really want to grow taller.

So I’ve been doing alot of research, and apparently taking real HGH through injections, will mess up the amount of hormone your body will naturally make.

So I’ve been looking at natural HGH stimulators, promting your body to making more HGH.

I found a product on Amazon which is affordable, and judging by the customers reviews it works. Here it is: http://www.amazon.co.uk/Potentiator-supplement-Comprehensive-Lytham-Body/dp/B002NKP9ZQ/ref=cm_cr_pr_pb_t

My question is, if I take this product will I actually grow taller?

Could anyone let me know any side effects, but as far as I can see if my body maked HGH naturally its fine?

I don’t want to leave growing tall to late, as obviously my growth plates won’t remain open forever.

Any replies would be much appreciated.
Thanks in advance.

Drew Barrymore: Thanks for the reply. I know that height doesn’t matter that much and the rest of it, but I want to get taller.

These aren’t actual hormones, they just stimulate your priutary gland to make more growth hormone.

K so I’m 11 year old girl. My mom is 5"7 and my dad is 5"11 3/4. I have strong genetics from both my parents. My mom was her height when she turned 12. I’m going through my puberty and I’m almost done with it. I started in 3rd grade. Since it’s summer here are the things I get to do almost every single day:
-Sleep 10-12 hours
-Drink lots of milk
-Swim a lot (My grandma and my neighbor both have a pool)
-Eat lots of veggies (We have a huge garden)
-Walk atleast 2 miles a day (Me and my mom take a walk every day)
-I’m a water baby! (Been drinkng it a lot since I was a baby) It’s my favorite drink!
-I NEVER drink caffeine
-I hate junk food and food with lots of sugar. So, I don’t have to worry about that.
I’m 5"00 and I want to be about in between 5"3- 5"5 before schools starts.
(Me wanting to get taller has nothing to do with school or popularity)
Plz don’t say you can’t force it and it depends on your genetics.Plz just leave some ways NATURALLY that I can grow taller. I will not take a pill or anything to do with medicine and stuff that isn’t natural.
Another thing, not bragging, I’m really strong. I can pick up both of my best friends’ at the same time. So I can hold about 200 lbs. I think I have lots of muscle cuz one time when I got mad I broke a wooden chair by hitting it. I know u probably wont believe me or you’ll say i have anger issues but its the truth.

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 am starting to get a little concerned about my height…I am 14 (15 on march 21st), 5’3", and I went through puberty a few weeks before my 11th birthday. My shoe size is 8, my mom is 5’5" and my dad is 5’9.5"…how much taller will I get…will I even get any taller?

Im A 12 year old(turning 13 in june) and im only 145 cm tall. 145cm=57.09 inches. I want to grow taller and I want suggestions on how like daily exercise things I should do or sports I should play. My goal is 155cm. Any quick way to grow taller? Oh yeah and I think im hitting puberty(look at my other questions ) so will this give me a boost? please help, thanks. Will choose best answer within a day.
what food/drinks are good?

I’m a girl & I am about 13 years old.
I’m already starting puberty [I just recently started my period about 2 months ago]
I heard that when you get your period, you’re going to grow taller & along with some other body changes.

But the thing is, I don’t get why I’m still so short.
I’m only 4’9 yet I weigh 89 pounds
To me & my family, that’s not really good
At school during P.E, I run 2-3 laps (cross country and a mile too) around the track for about an hour
everyday.
I’ve cut down on my meat too, (trying not to eat too much) & eat more healthy stuff like vegetables, fruits, yogurt, but mostly a little snack/junk food D:

Yet I’m still not growing much. Is there any explanations for this? & any advice on what I can do to help me grow taller soon? I want to be at least 5’1 by the end of this year

Can your height increase by taking calcium supplement (tablets–remedies) at the age of 19 when you are a late bloomer/male and puberty hasn’t ended.

I need help please!

I’m sixteen years old, 17 in June
I’m around 6ft tall and I was wonder if it is possible to grow taller by the end of puberty? my dad is the same height and his dad is like 6ft1

thanks
and my mother is 5ft5

I am an 18 year old male, 6’1, 157 pounds. I started puberty a bit late at age 15. so yeah I guess you can call me a "late bloomer". I hated it. my voice didnt change until my junior year in high school. I was about 5’7-5’8 throughout high school until about summer of my junior year. then I just shot up to about 6’1 which is where im at now. girls always wanted "older" looking guys that were "hot" or "sexy". I was always just "cute" and my confidence talking to girls always suffered. it makes me so f’ing mad. Im guessing Im not done with puberty yet so I have a few questions that I really need answered, PLEASE!

1. I look really young for my age. when people first meet me, they think that Im only about 15(16 at the VERY most). It really pisses me off and has been frustrating my entire life. will I always look young forever?

2. I really want facial hair.I have a little bit of a mustache but you can really only see it when you look closely. also, I have about two dark hairs that are coming on my chin but other than that, there is basically nothing. will I grow any facial hair or am I doomed forever?(oh and please don’t say "shaving is a pain in the butt and you should be happy you dont have any")

3. My penis is 6 inches hard. yes, i know thats average size but Im wondering if it will grow anymore? Its not very thick either. I can put a condom on and it wont fall off, but I can fully fill out the condom tightly. will the girth of my penis get larger as well?

4. Like I said, Im pretty tall, but I have a problem. My legs are REALLY long and make up most of my height. my upper body is short and makes my whole body look weird.also my arms are really long as well and I hate it. will my upper body grow anymore?!?

5. I have a little bit of hair under my armpits. its the dark curly kind, but its not a lot compared to my friends. will i grown any more hair there??? also, I have a lot of pubic hair all around my penis and on my testicales, so I think im done there. but my legs(especially my thigh area), chest and butt, is really smooth with almost no hair. is it just a result of genetics or will I get hair over time??

6. My shoulders arent really wide at all. my biceps look like they are wider than them. its really annoying and Im wondering if they will get wider naturally over time? also, my waist is REALLY skinny and always has been. will my waist get bigger? and another thing, I have always been weaker in the weight room compared to everyone else, will I get stronger over time? especially my chest, I still have "puffy nipples" or "man boobs". will they every go away??? Its embarrassing and Ive had them for a while. they should go away after puberty right??

please answer each question in as much detail as you can!! thanks in advance to all of your help. I really appreciate it.
oh and 3 months ago I started working out 6 days a week. Ive seen some decent results in strength.

If not, are there any exercises that you can do during puberty to help to grow taller?

Does bicycles, running and other equipment in the gym that trains my leg help me grow taller??? I am in my puberty, and a boy btw.

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

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?

I am currently 17, I weigh 200 pounds, I’m about 6′ and my foot size is an 11. I don’t weigh 200 pounds in fat I’m just naturally muscular. I eat like…a lot and all the time and don’t gain any fat and I feel growing pains quite often. All the guys on my mom side don’t stop growing until there like 21 and most are around 6′ or taller, but my dad is 5’6" and I don’t know if this would hinder my growth? I guess I just need some reassurance
I believe I started puberty pretty late. Like when my dad was around sixteen he could grow a full beard, but I can’t grow any facial hair only stubble

I am a full grown woman (22 years old). I had very late puberty. I am very small …..I am tall and very skinny. I have always been very skinny just naturally …..and therefore never had much breasts….but if I gain weight will I gain in that area and grow larger breasts or will they stay the small size forever since now I am "grown" up?

im 15 and started puberty early im tall everything has grown and my voice hasnt changed. i sound lke a girl sometimes, and i could change it to a deep voice but it hurts and i get tired of it and its not the way i naturally talk. does anyone know when itll change?? or wat i can do to change it//?? does wieght matter (im skinny)??

Hello i just wanted to know if it is possible to increase height after puberty? I’m 18 and 5’9" and I want to be taller

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?

My sis is in 5th grade and she want to grow taller.. BTW she hasn’t gone through puberty.
