I am 15, almost 16 and I am 5’5 1/2, maybe 5’6. I am a late bloomer, I didn’t get my period until 14 and my dad grew until he was 21. Im not sure about my mom, 18 I think. My mom is 5’7 and my dad is 5’10. I’m 100% polish so the polish build is naturally tall and lean, I weigh something like 105 pounds. Anyways, I want to model (I’ve been to several agencies that said I have the perfect face/body type except for my height and though I’ve landed a few jobs I can’t get anything serious unless I grow. Just to let you know, height genetics in my family are quite varied. Its like their more environment influenced than gene influenced. For example my cousins from my moms side are both over 6 foot (an one is a girl) but their parents are pretty short. My cousins from my dads side didn’t follow their parents height at all. My aunts kids for example are all over 6 foot, the tallest is 6’4 and theyre guys by the way but they are all very athletic. Their mom is 5’3 and their dad is 5’7 but theyre giants. On the other hand my uncles kids (girls) are petite. They are 5’1 and 5’4 but their mom and dad are both 5’9. However they are not very athletic. I’ll do anything that has to do with excercise except swimming because I don’t have regular access to a pool. I’ll also take pills/supplements. As far as diet goes I need recommendations that will also keep me skinny because ofcourse that is essential to modeling. My guess is lean meats, fish, and vegetables but I could be wrong. My goal is to be atleast 5’8 so thats only 2 more inches but idealy I’d like to be 5’10. I’ve heard that 4 inches is possible, especially when done at a young age and I have atleast 3 years before my growth plates fuse. Any advice is greatly appreciated! Oh also, if its at all possible I’d like to get to 5’8 in one year because thats when I get my braces off and I can restart modeling. Thanks!! ![]()
Just to clarify: by pills I meant vitamins like calcium and stuff. Will that help?
I drink four glasses of milk everyday. I also take omega 3 fishoils.iron vitamin.and vitamin c pills. I excercise everyday too.
Are there any stretches or exercises I can do or vitamins or foods .My moms side of the family is short and I’m really worried about staying 5 foot my whole life ….I want to be 5 4′ or 5 3′ at least what do I do?
I havent really had my growth spurt yet and I wanted to stimulate it im like 5"3 and 16 right now im currently doing exercises that target the lower back and Im drinking lots of milk eating yogurt and getting vitamins from lots of fruits such as bananas carrots. will the follwing help me grow?
is there anything you want to throw in that could help? thank you.
Well I’m 13 5’3 and a half and I want to grow taller but im just wondering do vitamins really work?
would i be able to grow to 5’9" or 5’10"? im 14 years old and my mom is 5’3" and my dad is 6’2". im 5’7" right now; if i eat a lot of protein and calcium, and aimed for perfect posture as well as take vitamins and drink a lot of water, how tall could i get?
okay im 5”1” and im 14 almost 15 and I HATEE I HATE SO MUCH that im short! My mom is always telling me how short i am and always telling me like oh look at your sister she’s 5”5” the difference is that she’s 22 but anyways i get so insecure cause im the little of my group of friends my mom is normal height and my dad is tall… any suggestions like vitamins or anything stretching exercises that would help please help me!
Im 16 years years old and im like 5 feet tall and i want to grow taller so i want to know what kinds of vitamins would help you grow?
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
I’m 13, at 5’0 and my mom is the same height. It seems like I will never get any taller than this. How can I grow taller?
Oh, does calcium help? Are there any vitamins that might help? Oh and lastly, what ‘stunts’ my growth, like makes me stop growing?
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 ![]()

Are there any things to help promote growing taller like vitamins,exercises,stretches, stress free exercises? What are things that will make growing taller harder to acheive like smoking,etc?Would staying home a lot make it harder to grow?
I know this is the stupidest question ever, but I had to ask. I’m 14 and 5’3". And my mom is 5’5" 1/2, my dad is 5’8". I’ve been this tall for like 2 years, and my Dr. told me if I don’t grow by my next check-up… I’m done. So far, I’m not seeing any improvements. I heard of HGH (Human Growth Hormones), but apparently, they’re really risky. Also, I heard of a "natural way". Like, taking vitamins, exercising, getting enough sleep, and crap like that? First of all, does that stuff really work or is it just BS? Cause I don’t exercise, take vitamins, and I barely, I mean barely get enough sleep. And I’ve been drinking coffee (regularly) ever since I was 9 – 10 years old. Am I so short because of that? In addition, I heard of stretching posed and exercises especially for growing taller. Do those work? Anyways, how can I grow taller? Thanks!
I’m around 4 foot tall and people call me a dwarf. Please any supplements that would help me grow taller ? I like existing real (GMP) certified products only, I don’t trust scam websites that offer just one bottle of vitamins with fake doctor with no names.
