I’m 18 and only 4’8, but have always liked my height ^_^. Lately though I’ve been thinking I should try to get taller if I even can or just look taller so people don’t mistake me for an 11 year old all the time. Plus I guess people have said I have somewhat of a ‘baby face’ and I do have a young sounding voice. It’s nice though because when I get older I’ll get mistaken for younger still hopefully X3. But being 18 and being mistaken for an 11 year old is not fun… I guess I was born without a pituitary gland and my doctor says 5’ is as tall as I could ever hope of being, so I thought maybe I should TRY to grow that tall somehow… (NATURALLY…I have chemophobia and the growth hormones didn’t work on me anyways.) I’ve heard stretches and yoga could help and want to try but…I just REALLY like my height and don’t like the prospective of me being 5’ tall at all… but there’s a guy I like and he’s 23 and about 5’8-ish and I really don’t want to look like an 11 year old next to him lol. (He looks like he’s 18 at least though lol) But I just don’t want to get taller (and I don’t know if I even can) and just really love my height just the way it is <3. *sigh* but being mistaken for 11 gets SO old… Maybe…is there any way I could look more my age without looking or getting any taller? And I’m just curious what others think on this matter: should I try to get/look taller?
Just to clear this up, I was not born with dwarfism and am not…err…‘stubby’ or anything…I just look like an average 11-12 year old…only I am 18 lol.

Does stretching (Yoga or Pilates) increase the chance of teenage girls height?

Bonus: List yoga exericises that help you grow taller.

I am a shortie….. Only like 5′-5’1" or so. I reallyyyyyyyy hope there is a miracle to change this!! Is it possible to grow after puberty??!!

please don’t say:
-stretch
-drink milk
-exercise
-grow taller for idiots (that didn’t work, I already tried)
-yoga
-or any other stupid thing that everyone knows doesn’t work.

please please please, is there a ray of hope in this situation??!

Hi everyone, I’m 19 years old next month. I was just wondering if you think i’ll get any taller. I’m joining the marines and I ship out to boot camp 6 days before I turn 19. When I went up to MEPS to get my medical and physical stuff I was 5"8.5 tall with no shoes on. The doctor just put me under the 5’9 category. I was wondering if you think I will get any taller? My girlfriend is 5’8 and i’m only half an inch taller than her. When we first met she told me she liked tall guys because she wanted to feel small. That kind of changed apparently now because she says it doesnt matter how tall I am cause she likes me for me. Which is good, I guess i gave her a lasting impression and height doesnt matter as much with me.

still though I was just curious if u think I will grow any taller? I heard guys dont stop growing till 21-25 but does that mean height too? I do Yoga and Stretch twice a week along with workout. My dad was 6’4 and my mom is 5’3. Do you think I might hit 6 feet by the time im 20 or 21? thanks in advance!

i want to grow taller. I’m 15 and am about 5’2. Female and got my period last year though it’s still not organized. Any ways to grow taller?? Is yoga really good or swiming or basket??? Do i have to drink a glass of milk a day and eat alot of meat and protein???

Someone told me that doing yoga (shoulder stand pose specifically) helps you grow taller during puberty because it stimulates your spine and helps release HGH. Is this true?

Im 13, and Im tall, about 5 ’7. But most people in my family have grown early, and most are average sized. Im an athlete, but I know how important it is to be big to be successful in sports. Chances are I’ll be 5 ’10, 5 ’11, maybe 6 foot. But in my sport, baseball, the best players mostly taller than that, or at least it couldn’t hurt to be taller.

I know I’m going to grow up to be average size, at least. But I’d love to be 6 ’1 someday. Im very active, and my diet is so-so. My dad is a 5 ’10, 5 ’11, my mom is 5 ’7, my sister is 5 ’7, and my brother somehow shot up to almost 6 ’3.

I’ve heard rumors of how to get taller, but I want to do it naturally, such as, a better diet, or specific exercises throughout my growing years. I’ve heard that stretching releases human growth hormones, so could that help me grow? I do yoga and poladies both once a week. Should I do more? What else can I do?

okay so i hate my height and i always have and i always will (i’m about 5’9) , i’m too tall and that’s that. but moving on…i’m pretty much pathetic at running , but i love biking and i love yoga…though i just researched yoga and realized that it makes you grow taller…fml….so is this true?? if i do yoga every week , will i grow taller?
and what about running? if i start going for runs, will i grow taller?
i’ve reached my peak height already…and i’d like to stay the height i am now or get shorter, thank you very much .

I am currently 5’2, 95 lbs, turning 15 in march.
my mom is 5’1 (33 y.o) and my dad is 5’3 (38 y.o).
I do lots of stretching and excersise (yoga, cardio).
I eat a very balanced diet, of lots of veggies and fruits, and little meat.
all in all, i’m a health freak. I sleep an average of 8 hours a day.
I have no idea how tall I will be or how to determine it.
all of my friends are taller than i am!! lol.
i really want to grow more, probably to be about 5’7.
though i’ll PROBABLY be satisfied at 5’6. =P
do you think this will be possible for me?
how tall do you think i will be at max?
what tips do you suggest to help me grow taller? (naturally, please,)

thanks for all your help!!
<3

I am 13 years old and want to increase my height. I think yoga stretching exercises will be effective but most people tell me that it only improves our posture which makes us look taller. Is this true or is yoga really effective? if it is,then how much time should i spend each day doing it?

I thought it was impossible to get taller after puberty, but I’ve heard from a LOT of people that said doing yoga made them grow a couple inches. And these were people in their 20s and 30s.

How does it work? Does it decompress your spinal discs?

I’m 18 years old and I was wondering if there are any natural ways to make myself grow taller. I heard yoga helps stretch your body out, does anyone have any other suggestions?

i’m already 16 and i’m only 4 foot 11 i’m so desperate to grow taller because i get picked on everyday about being so short are there any kinds of exercises u can suggest? will palates or yoga help i don’t want to try anything unnatural or with side effects? has ne1 tried ne program thts truly worked if so could u please suggest it to me? please i desperately need help!

This may seem an extremely stupid answer but i have been asking myself this question for a while. First of all I am under 18. i am 1,64 m and i want to be atleast 1,70 m i would be happy with 1,69m is there any way that i can grow taller? exercises calcium stuff anything that would help. i do ballet and modern dance now so i am always doing jumps and changements and all the ballet stuff. i also do yoga so i am always stretching but is there anyway that i can see results i don’t care how long it takes.

please don’t answer high heels because honestly i tried it. makes me feel taller but at the end of the day i feel short.

serious answers please
i am just tuned 15 a couple of days ago. and most of the people from my mother’s side of the family are pretty tall. my mother’s brother is 1’90 her other brother is 1’85 and her sister is 1’70 both my grandparents are tall from both sides of the family. my mother is the only short one in the whole family 1’64 and my dad i 1’75 m

since i was a little girl whenever i went to my pediatrician and he saw the booklets to see if i was growing well he always said that i was really above average hight at the ages he saw me.

so is it possible for me to grow taller if i have such tall people in the family. can i still have a growth spert and just grow taller?

What about the p90x Yoga X video? I’ve heard that it give you better posture so you stand taller. Also, are these any other things/exercises that are effective to increase height?
