I am 14 and 5’5". Are there any exercises I can do to 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?

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)

I’m 14 and I think I’m taller than average. I’m 182 lbs, 6’1" and I wear a 15 wide shoe (in men’s size).

And for women, my girlfriend is 15, 124 lbs, 5’10" and wears size 6 shoe (in women’s size). I have no clue where she is next to average.

Thanks! I’m just curious, by the way.

If you do not know what a shoe lift is, it is a heel that guys can put in their shoe to make them look an inch of two taller.

Now I am a guy and I’m about to see a girl that I’ve known online for a few years and she is VERY subconscious about her height (She thinks I’m 5"10 but I’m really 5"8. The same height as her) but I’m going to wear a 2 inch shoe lift to make her feel more comfortable.

Now do you think it’s a big deal if a guy wears shoe lifts? I mean if you really like the guy but feel a bit insecure about being seen the same height or shorter than him then wouldn’t you not mind him wearing shoe lifts in public?

What are your opinions?
*same height or TALLER I meant to say

I hear there are ways to grow taller even at the age of 20. My girlfriend is 19 going to be 20 and she is 5’1" and wants to be 5’5". I was wondering how she would be able to acheive this naturally.

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??

Basically im actually 6’3" but i have a little afro going that marks me off at 6’4" but anyway my older brother who is 21, im 18 is 5’10 now i naturally tower over him because im 5-6 inches taller than him, but im confused because one day he said "we all know i’d rather be your height than mine, everyone wants to be tall" and kept saying things like if only i was just 6’3" etc. Then my sister was saying, girls will love your height, your tall, girls will go gaga for you etc, because im not tall and lanky or skinny im naturally built like broad shoulders etc.

Then yesterday, my brother and sister was like im freakishly tall, like they’ve never seen anyone as tall as me, only on tv on freak shows about tall freaks, even my mum was saying i should stop growing and im too tall, they all started making these jibes about my height and me being a giant recently, which is quite weird because my sister is a 5’10 girl, a tall girl, so i’d be thinking she’d be telling me how great my height is, considering tall girls always want the tall guys right. So im really unsure about my height now, i love my height, personally i don’t want to get any taller, not because i don’t want to be tall but just because it will start causing an issue like im about an inch with my afro from having to start ducking under doors and stuff etc lol. So im happy at this height, and i just embrace it because i can’t change or alter it so why fret about it you know? Even my brother was like when he’s around me he feels short but when he’s with "normal" people he’s not and that im way too tall. What do you guys think, am i too tall and a giant, the thing is although im taller than the average guy i do see guys that mark off around my height taller, or a little shorter on the street so i can’t be that much of a giant if there are other people my height and taller. What do you think and why do my siblings make me feel so bad about something i can’t help?

Here’s a vid of me:

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=22ZE3ug7_NI

I’m 19 years old
I’m 5’7" barefoot and 5’8" with shoes on but as you can see from the bid my torso is really small. I heard your spine grows later than the rest of your body

Will I get any taller?

How likely is it that I will grow taller if I drink lots of milk and maintain a WELL balanced diet? I am 17.5 and 5"6 3/4 but I really want to make it to 5"8 or 5"9. When I was 12, I went to the pediatrician and she said that I would likely end up 5"9 or 5"10 but several factors when I was young I think stunted my growth (Like losing too much weight too quickly, Not getting enough nutrition) and all those factors stunted my growth I think. But I just want to make it to atleast 5"8 or 5"9 so I can wear platform shoes after that to make me look about 6 foot.

My dad is 6"0 and my mom is 5"3

Ok, I’m going to be 15 in a couple of weeks, and I still haven’t started my period or had spotting or anything. I used to desperately want to start it but now I don’t really care, but I am very worried that there is something wrong with me as in I won’t be able to have children.
I am 5’6”-5’7” so really quite tall
About 115 lbs (naturally thin)
I’ve had vaginal discharge for 5 years now. Yes, since I was 10, I have had vaginal discharge. 5 years is a really long time and I haven’t even got my period yet.
I started getting pubic hair about 4 years ago, and for the past 2 years it has been really thick and dark, and it covers the same area as a full grown woman.
I have had BO for 4 years, same with having to wash my hair at least once every two days
My boobs have been developing for about 3 years although they are still only about a B cup.
I have had acne for 3 years and it is not only on my face, but my back and chest too. my face isn’t too bad but my back is awful and my chest is pretty bad too. Recently it has spread also to my shoulders.
So all this and I still haven’t started my periods. I’m starting to worry a tad because I’m scared there is something wrong with me and I won’t ever be able to have children. My hips have been widening for a good 3 years too.
My mum didn’t start her periods until she was 15 but she is a completely different build to me and she never had acne like I do.

Do you think there is something wrong with me? Thanks.
Ok, I wasn’t just being all "ooh when will it start" to the person who first answered, I was simply worried that there was something wrong seeing as I figured that I have been going through puberty for quite a while now. And yeah I really don’t want to start tbh but I want to be able to have children. I’m a very get up and go type person and I can’t be bothered with the hassle of periods, as long as I can have kids then I don’t mind. <3

I am trying out for quarterback for my high schools football team soon. My only problem is, without shoes on, I am only about 5’9" or 5’10" It is really getting me pissed that I’m not going to get taller. Its ade me second guess playing football. Its that bad. And I know I’m not getting any taller. Is there any way to grow taller non-genetically?

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?

I am 15 and 5’7" but I want to grow taller. I am really worried about my height. Can you please give me simple exercises that will make my height grow? And please also tell me how many calories I can burn using that, and how long will it take until I grow an inch or two. Thank You Very Much.

PS. If you can tell me the exercise, that is great too!

I took a few shots of Depot Testosterone in High School…in the back of my mind I have this terrible regret that I could have been taller…you see I’m pretty short (about 5’6") although my mom is about 5’0" (short too) and my dad is about 5’9" …do you think that I was just naturally ending up this height, or did I sabatoge my self?

If I was just supposed to be short than Oh well, what can I do…. I’m 24 now..(fully grown)
Also my sister’s really short, about 5’1"..so it might just be genetic…and all of my uncles are pretty short on my mom’s side

But my littel brother’s like three inches taller than me, with bigger hands and feet

It all started during the summer i think. My nd has always gone off top her dad’s house every summer and com back being the exact same but taller, stronger and has longer hair. This year though, it seemed likle she really changed. At first IO thought it was because we’re getting into boys and we’re all bound to change, even her. then i started to notice that she’s changing in mopre ways then one. here are a few examples:
1. she used to listen to the Top 40 Coiuntdown, now it’s all greenday, nightwish, simple plan, evanescence,SR-71 anda little bit of Kelly Clarkson thrown in
2.she used to wear anything. lag warmers, bracelets, necklaces, dangly earings you name it, she would wear it. now she thinks and doesn’t choose anything even remotely eye-popping
3.she used to say the weirdest things ever. they were always random like "what would happen if i jumped off a building into a huge pool of jell-o and it wouldn’t come out of my hair?" now she barely says anything
4.she refused band-aids. i knkow that’s wierd but that what she’s do. she said she liked her cuts to heal naturally with out any creams or gunk like that. not she totally freaks out whenever she sees blood.
5.she used to be so open about everything that was happening around us. she used to talk nonstop about some butterfly she saw and the war going on and whatever she was having for dinner. now she doesn’t seem to talk about anything.
6. she used to be a pig. like literlly, she’d eat with her hands and face and her toes if you dared her. now she won’t eat anything but a sandwich with her fingers. even bacon. she barely eats anything anymore too.

I know i sound paranoid but this happened and i feel as if it’s my fault. It’s like she took allthat she was and slowly folded in the corners, getting smaller and smaller until all thast was left was a little stone that nobody can break into. are these changes just part of growing up?

Tall Tales
Three cowboys are sitting around a campfire, out on a lonesome Texas prarie, each with the bravado for which cowboys are famous. A night of tall tales begins.

The first one says, "I must be the meanest, toughest cowboy there is. Why, just the other day a bull got loose in the corral and gored six men before I wrestled it to the ground by the horns with my bare hands."

The second cowboy can’t stand to be bested. "Why that’s nothing. I was walking down the trail yesterday and a fifteen-foot rattlesnake slid out from under a rock and made a move for me. I grabbed that snake with my bare hands, bit its head off and sucked the poison down in one gulp. And I’m still here today."

The third cowboy remained silent, silently stirring the coals with his hands.

A short story…
If a cowboy rode into town on Friday and left three days later on Friday. How the heck did it happen?

Answer: The horse’s name is Friday

Well. I’ve always had the same haircut except when I was pretty young. I’m 16 years old and I have naturally curly, brown hair. I always get my hair layered and trimmed to my shoulders but I’ve let it grow out to my shoulder blades recently. I REALLY need a haircut and I want short hair again. Not too short. But I don’t want it to freak out and curl up really tight. I’m tall and I have a normal, oval shaped face. I like bangs, but not short bangs. I just want something new! Please and thank you!
Also, hairstyles are greatly appreciated for any length of curly hair. I can experiment.. I just need ideas.
And. Also. I am -not- a preppy kid. I’m a scene kid/band nerd. I usually wear my hair up. I just want a change. So no preppy "Dye it blonde! Floppy buns yayyy!"
No.
Just no.
Still, please and thank you
Can’t get it relaxed.. That’s the ONE thing my mother won’t let me do. Even if I pay for it.

I am a 14 year old girl and I am 5 feet tall. My Mom is 5’2" and my dad is 5"9′. The reason I think I may grow is because I have really big hands and really big feet. I have the same shoe size and hand size as someone who is probably about 5"7′. What do you think? Is there any way I can grow taller? I need to for volleyball!!
