I’m 14 now but 15 in september. I am around 5 foot 3 which is considered quite tall in my family,but that’s because i’m from an east asian family (though my twin brother is tall and my dad).
Anyway, I used to be definitely above average in height in primary school and average in year 7, but now alot of people who were shorter than me are taller than me and my twin brother cameron was always shorter than me and since high school he shot up. Though, i guess he’s a guy and that happens but same with shorter girls who have shot up above me too.
I have been this height for a while now (I have a height chart on my wall), around half a year ago, i was growing veryy slowly like 2 cm every 2 or 3 months but now i’ve seemed to stay around this height pretty much since. I don’t think i’ve had a growth spurt or will have one or is it that i’m just growing VERYY slowly?
Also, I had my period before alot of my friends and developed before too, but my breasts are only a size 34A which is really small compared to ALOT of girls my age and some even in the year below. I’ve stayed this size for about a year or less as well.
I’m 41kg and I know this is quite light, but trust me, I eat alot. I think it’s because I have a high metabolism or i’m quite sporty. And I get around 8 or 7 hours sleep, but I do eat quite a healthy diet.

Is it possible i’m not growing to grow much taller than this? I am taller by a few cm than my mum, she’s about 5 foot 3 and my dad’s around 5 foot 10, my twin brother is 5 foot 7 and my other brother (17) is around 5 foot 6 or 7.

Is there any thing I could do to help my growing increase faster naturally? Or any other tips? Is there a way to check that you are still growing (Apart from height and breast size obviously, since these don’t seem to help-this is a bit stupid this question ha ha)
I know that girls don’t stop growing till around 18 but could it be different because i’m asian and to do with my parents genes?

P.S I heard junk food is supposed to stunt growth but I guess I eat quite balanced. Though, I like to eat sweets like most teens but I don’t eat them too regularly. And sorry and thanks for taking the time to read this 5 year long question. Aha

i want to be taller and i know its a long term kind of thing, also genetics, i have the patience to do this clean and simple like naturally.
how do i get more hormones in my body
what food should i eat
what sport should i do
how many hours of sleep should i get
btw i am 15 and 5’9 if thats useful
please anything that might help me
also is it possible for me to gain 7 inches during pube

Ok so I’m 14, 128lbs and 5’6 I’ve been weightlifting for the past year and a half now, and have only grown slowly in that time,I read up that it stunts your growth,if I give up the weights now at 14 is it still possible for me to grow? I now eat 2500cals a day, (all heathly,) gathering me enough vitamins and minerals and protein,carbs,fat etc. And now play basketball for 30minutes daily aswell as getting 9 hours sleep nightly, I was wondering if this is enough to help improve my chances of growing, I’m hoping to be around 5’10 atleast, I was considering to take up some stretches but I don’t know which ones work, do you guys know any? Or do you know any other ways I could get taller? And don’t give me any of this crap like elevator shoes or pills cuz there just a waste of time and my parents won’t let me get them, 10 points best answer, I’m a male by the way

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.

how to make eyelashes grow naturaly my eye lashes were really tall and beautiful 2 years ago now they started falling alot and i dont even use mascera or eye liners in facts i don’t put make up that much!
so i need help, i heard if you put olive oil on your eye lashes before you go to sleep they are gonna grow?
please help

I’m currently 5’8 at 17 and have a 4’11 mum and a 5’7 dad. I assume they shrunk a inch or two as they’re 50+.

You see, I want to be a high fashion male model but the requirements are high, minimum at about 5’11.

I’m from an asian ethinic background (Cambodian and Chinese) but I have been told I had tall grandparents, two uncles and a aunty who died in the Pol Pot War. I say this because my mum and and two surviving uncles were quite short (mum side, uncles about 5’6) compared to their siblings. Mum told me that the goodlooking people had to die etc Have no idea why? (my mum is just short, thankfully). I don’t want you guys to get too attached to this story but yes, I had uncles, aunties and grandparents around 5’10 to 6ft plus. This is just my mum side, I rarely talk to my dad as we bicker occasionally.

My shoe size is 11 ½ inches US which is awkwardly not proportioned to my height (dunno whether it’s a sign). I’ve never really had a growth spurt, I just gradually grew into my height. Mum said I was about 3ft when I was 2….

I’m just psyching myself out because I do think I will get upset if I don’t grow anymore.

Lately, I’ve been taking nature owns multivitamins to replace all my missing supplements and drinking milk and I do sleep 8 hours a night even on school nights.

Is there anyway to improve my chances on becoming taller, even though I might not?

As I assume the majority of users on WP are over 18, are there people who’ve had similar worries to me at my age and realised they actually grew taller? Like how tall were you at 17 and how tall are you currently?
P.S. As I’ve taken time to write my message, please don’t copy and from some other similar post but tell me what you think etc.

And don’t tell me things that I probably know… Such as the exact age when people stop growing

I turned 16 a month ago, and it’s gonna be summer now. I don’t know why, but I think I usually tend to grow over the summer, might be because I sleep alot more but I don’t know. Anyway, I’m about 5’10” and my shoe size is 8-9. My hands and feet are kind of small, but I’m okay with my height. My dad is 6’2” or 6’3” and wears shoe size 13, but my mom is like 5’5” and obviously has tiny feet lol. I was just wondering if I will sort of.. "fill out" over this summer maybe. I don’t care much about height but I do wanna know if it’s possible that my hands and feet will grow to more adult sizes, hopefully to shoe size 10 and hands a little longer/thicker since I’m guessing they’re not done growing. My dad’s feet didn’t stop growing until he was 18, but I don’t think I’ll be as tall as him. Anyway, that’s why I usually wait until end of the summer to buy new school shoes because I may have grown a size or half of one. So is there a chance I can grow this summer ? Or what can I do to promote more growth naturally in height and also extremities ? I know I can’t theoretically have another growth spurt, but if I have a good amount of growth left, will I see some this summer ? I haven’t grown for a while. Thanks. (: – Kev.

Right now i about 5’9 and i am 15 years old. every tells me that am pretty tall for my age and doctors say by next year I’ll be 6’2 so for basketball reasons how can i get taller naturally. Also does sleeping affect growth because i sleep from 10 pm to 4:30 am.PLEASE HELP

here’s our family’s heights:

mother (46 years old): 5’0
father (48 years old) : 5’8
sister (21 years old) : 5’5
brother (17 years old): 5’10 1/2
youngest ME (13 years old): 5’1

look, i’m only 5’1 and i weigh 97 lbs or 44 kgs. (i’m a female, ok)
i don’t sleep early and i always don’t have enough sleep since i was 11 years old. now, i’m trying to sleep early and today, i slept 8:00pm and woke up at 6:00am. i had 10 hours of sleep. i’m trying to have enough sleep because maybe it will be one of the ways for me to grow tall. my sister and brother are tall and i’m the only one who is a small. even my feet is small. my shoe size is 36. do you think i will still grow taller than i am now? i’m in third year highschool.
yeah, it has been two years from now.

I am 18 years old.My height is 180.2cm and I am not sure whether Yoko height Increaser shoe might work for me. I have been trying my best to grow taller and it is already too late for me. It’s already late bloomer for me. Nowaday I only sleep 6 hour a day. What other exercise can help to increase height? What else can I do to increase leg length?

okay, it has been months since i’ve grown and i’m starting to worry that i might not grow anymore in the future!!! i don’t want to become a midget or something, so i need help!!!!! i’m only 13 years old and i’m about 4’10′ in height. i learn that our height is base on our genetics or DNA that we got from our parents. my dad, is 5’5′ and and my mom is 5’0′. do you guys think that there is a chance for me to grow taller as i go through high school in the future??? i don’t know what to do. i heard that getting enough sleep and eating healthy with plenty of exercises can help me grow, but i’m still not sure, so give me your advices! thanks!

I’m 15 & about 5’9…close to 5’10, and wondering how I could further increase my height. I know that sleep has a lot to do with the growth process, and that eight hours is required if you’re trying to get maximum growth. I also heard that there are certain hormones released during exercise that are released during sleep that cause growth. Is there any truth to that? And what all can I do to get maximum growth.

I may be dreaming, but I’d love to be able to grow to being anywhere from 6’5-6’8, and I want to make that possible.
Lol, thanks for the answers thus far and I know it sounds crazy to want to be from 6’5-6’8, but it is somewhat possible considering I haven’t actually hit my growth spurt. I was just wondering if there were any outside factors I could control, so when I do hit my growth spurt, I’ll be as tall as possible.

And I’m not insecure about my height or anything, just so you all know.

I’m in 8th grade, I’m about 6’0-6’1. I play basketball and am tall now but I won’t be for high school.. I want to know if more sleep or milk or anything will help me grow to about 6’3 before freshman year. My mom is about 5’8 and my dad 6’1.. My grandpa is about 6’3 though. I’ve only grown about 5 inches in the last year and a half. That’s kinda depressing. Any help please?

Hi i’m 14 years old and 5 foot 10 what do you prefer to do to grow taller? i sleep properly 6-8 hours a day is there anything i can drink or eat that can make me taller?

First off, I think "everybody" knows it’s genetics. No need to point it out any more than usual.
Well, I’m a girl. I’m in 8th grade, got my period in 5th. My doctor told me I probably would never grow. BOY was she wrong! I’m so happy I’m growing! Just a few weeks ago, my feet got bigger by a full shoe size. Then I grew a bit taller, and I still am. I drink a lot of milk every day now, and am trying my best to eat healthier. My school makes me exercise super hard and I love just running/playing sports or whatnot everyday anyway! I also love stretching, so I also do that too. I’m really getting good sleep in now also. I sleep at 8 and wake up at about 5:30 naturally. So 9 and a half hours of sleep. You think there’s any more (haha, as if I don’t have enough!) ways to increase my potential? When my mom was younger, she had a size 8. She’s 5’5". My feet are almost size 9 and a half now. So maybe that means I’ll grow taller than her? I mean, my older brother grew taller than my dad. My older sister, I think, maybe neglected what she did/does since she’s 18 and only 5’2" and a half, and I’m just growing haha. For my race my family is pretty tall. Sooo.. you think there would be any more I can do or am I doing just fine? Thanks!

I’m turning 16 this year and I’m only 5"8. I’m an Asian male and I’m not happy with my height. Is there anything I can do to help me grow taller like exercise or sleep or something? And do I need to it more of something? Drink more of something?

I dont know how tall my dad is since he left before I was born but my mom is 5"5 or something.

Thanks!

Please be polite with your answer -I respect your opinion. Cheers!

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?

Hi, i am 16 years old my current height is 5’9 (175 cm). I eat lots of protein diet like eggs, milk, yoghurt etc. I exercise regulary for 45 -65 minutes daily. I get 8 hours of sleep. I also take multi-vitamin tablets daily and use YOKO height increaser.I’ve been doing all this for like a week. So its possible that i achieve my desired results?

I would appreciate some help guys. [2011 - Feb - 24]

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

I am 16 years old.
5’8 and 155lbs.
I’ve been the same height and weight for a while now
and I’d like to grow a bit taller and bulk up a bit
for the upcoming football season.
Any advices would help; I.E. ( what diets? any exercises? hours of sleep?
and would you recommend me taking supplements like – Whey Protein; to help me bulk up? )

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

im 17 and male.
my parents are short, 5’2 and 5’6.
my cousins are all 6’2, i wanna reach that height my diet is perfect! [I eat 6 small meals per day]
my posture is awesome.
i drink LOADS of milk! and stretch 3 times a day for 5minutes, and i sleep alot, 8-9 hours a day.
i eat Veggies,Cheese,Fruits exc. no junk food.. no alcohol, no smoking. im easily doing everything to gain those extra inches
i JUST turned 17, 17 and 2 months now ^^ how tall can i become?
thanks guys for helping out, i appreciate it,
cheers!
