There is nothing that you can do to make you grow. Trust me, I’m pretty short and I’ve tried everything and nothing works. You should be hitting your growth spurt pretty soon, though!
lol im 5’5 and im a mexican (there shorter than most people)
and im 12
but its ok
Any exercise will help you grow some . But your body is planning the growth right now, so eat correctly to help your body Store what it needs for you growth spurt. If you are interested in sports stay active in them if not try some weight training exercises or martial arts. When you start to grow try to remember to sleep and drink plenty of water. Both of these are very important. Good luck
There honestly isn’t an answer for this. (sorry)
However, with proper exercise and nutrition (meaning eat lots) you will grow. I can only promise you that YOU will GROW.
It’ll probably happen over the summer…
You should stretch alot and probably drink alot of milk. Milk will probably help your bones develop ,but I dont think your that short for an 12 year old. Most likely you will start to develop more when your 13,14,or 15.
You cannot change what your body does, or how it grows.
But your body grows best resting. So the more sleep, the faster your body grows.
Dead lifts, abdominal leg raises and leg extensions promote direct skeletal stress (stimulating new bone formation) and greater hormone releases.
About 10-12 hours of sleep is good.
All ways keep a positive outlook on things too.
<3: There ARE ways to grow, but not magical, and certianly not fast. You can also slow down growth plate maturation, but once again, not fast or magical.
just wait. u will grow but give it time.
That’s about average height. I’m 16 and 5’8". There’s not much you can do. Drink milk and eat vegetables. I don’t know much else. Exercises wouldn’t do anything. You can’t just "stretch yourself". You’re average height.
Don’t worry too much. I have several family members (boys) who seemed to be of short/avaerage stature at about 13 and then suddenly grew up taller than me (Aunty at 5′ 1") and remeber that boys continue to grow longer than girls, maybe up until 21!! You are hopefully on the cusp of your major growth spurt!, you may experience pains in your shins as you stretch in the night – but hey ho, you will take a painkiller and be happier!!.
