how you grow taller? i know this is a wth? question. >< but today i went shopping and trying on jeans all the effing jeans that my size but it is too long. i just wanna grow about 2-3 inches taller.

pweasssee share some of your tips T.T

i feel like a kid being short when i'm 16 standing at 5 feet or EVEN! 4'11 T.T

if its too long then just hem the bottoms up o_o

alot of people do it o_o

there is no "way" to grow taller. it's mostly genetics.

I agree. There is this shot you can get but it's pretty pricy. A couple of years ago I was offered the shot by my heart doctor but my family and I decided against it. I knew one girl when she was younger a very long time ago was having trouble growing and she got the shot to help her. If you have the money to do it talk to your physician.

There is only one proven way to substantially change your height. That is the injection of stem cells. Though, this procedure will only work if you are young. The operation is expensive and you have no idea how tall you will grow. You really should be happy with your height unless it is causing serious problems.

Play basketball? It works for some people. Or jump rope?

:S *checks self* nope, don't seem to be getting taller but it works for some people. it might work for you?

gurl be proud of your height....i mean who cares just flaunt w/e height u are....cuz what ever height u are there is good things and bad things u know....and truthfully i think short gurls are realli cute....like my boss is only 4' 11' and she might even be shorter then that but i think she's soo adorable all of our customers are always talking about how cute she is....

Im not sure if its been proven wrong, but Calcium is good for growing taller and bones while your young. My parents told me to jump and skip ropes to get taller, currently im 5'10 but it prob has something to do with genetics too.

Calcium only makes your bone stronger not help you grow taller. (I may be wrong.)

It's all genetics.

Read this:
Calcium is an important supplement that feeds your bones. If you want to be taller you definately need a calcium supplement. A normal healthy diet does not contain enough calcium to induce bone growth. To increase height, calcium is essential and supplementing your body with calcium is the right thing to do. Growth Enhancer Plus contains enough of the calcium you need to grow taller at any age.

• The height of parents. Genetic factors “program” the adult height of a child.
• The environment they live in. There is substantial scientific evidence that height can vary depending on where you live and the type of diet that one consumes. For example, the average height in Japan before the war was substantially less than it is now as a result of the transformation in the diet people now consume.
• A diet high in protein is essential because protein is a growth hormone made up of amino acids responsible for causing growth. A diet insufficient in protein will likely result in insufficient production of growth hormone in the pituitary gland.
• High calcium intake. A growing child requires plenty of calcium because it aids the development of bones. Although it isn't clear whether calcium helps to make bones not only denser but also longer, nevertheless, a parent should ensure a child drinks plenty food rich in calcium, especially milk.

i just read that sleeping at a certain time will promote growth. this is because apparently, during certain times your growth hormones are at work. the time is 10pm to 2am, but i don't know how time zones fit in, if you travel abroad. dunno if its true or not

stretching EVERY morning works for me^^
(you put both of your hands up and go side to side(like stretch your upper body)
=i got 2inch taller^^

if your already full grown i dont think theyre is much u can do unless u wanna spend 25,000 dollors and do that korean surgury thingy. OMG i'm 4'11 too!!! i really wanna be 5'3 or 5'4

Do stretching exercises every morning.

Simply have the bottoms of your jeans hemmed.

i swim when i was little...
maybe that helps?
or its genetics..
my dad is 5'8
my mom is 5'2..
maybe im growing to my dad's height..

>.< U can't grow tallerrrrr I think................

U can wear high heels >.>>

Cut back on carbs?

I read somewhere that Asians eat too much rice (carbs) and that allows them to not have
the necessary nutrients for height growth so cut back on rice
and indulge in more grains and other stuff...try like a Dutch people diet for a year

:rollseyes:

calcium only works when you're under the sun. needs the uv rays.

that's why there are people who have calcium deficiency even if they take in a lot.

saw it somewhere a few years back.

I dun rly know, but do streching or go swimming^^
I think that'll help, but im not sure lol

Go Swimming or Play Basketball. Those are stretching sports that can probably make you grow taller. Eat a lot of food (no fast food) and drink milk. That'll at least improve your health.

You know, being short is nothing embarrassing. People still look gorgeous. For example: Song Hye Kyo. ^^
I'm sure that you have plenty other talents.

being tall is overrated anyway.

-__-

my advice- sleep. trust me, a healthy sleeping habit will help.

swim?
stretch?
dangle off the monkey bars?

i dunno.
i want to grow too ><

play basketball you'll get taller and anything that do with jumping

Get your knees done.




lol joking. height is genetic. sometimes we may change it a little (calcium, exercise, healthy lifestyle) but not signifcantly. But a good posture is always important. Even though you are short you can still look tall and strong with a good posture.

The only way is to always wear heels.
Not just like a 1-inch heel, that will do nothing for you.
With such a short frame, you need to wear at least 4 inch heels. That's an instant hieght increase
No more do you have to worry about being too short for those jeans you are dying to wear.
Better get used to wearing heels now...
Oh and women that are short are NEVER supposed to wear flats...ever.

Shoes like these

Word.
All those pills and shots only works when you're younger. But continuous stretching and exercise always good for your health,possibly squeeze a few CMs?

oh puhlease thats so ridiculous im gagging, heck you sound like you might even be beckham herself... i hope your legs dont look like victoria beckhams. can you say u.g.l.y?

ladies, all of you are unique in your own special way. you dont need to be tall or wearing heels that kill your body to look hot. to think you need to follow that absurd way of life beckham does is so shallow. im sure all of you are smarter than that. you gotta love yourself for others to love you <3.

Well, excercising && skipping rope helps because it effects ur bone joints or something.
My friend who is kinda short wanted to take special calcium pills to make her taller buh
I don't know if calcium pills are good for you, like sometimes, it may damage ur bones or something.

i wish everyone took notice of the fact. **sigh**

then there wouldnt be threads like this ALL THE TIME
it is true that you have good posture, sleep more, have a high calcium intake, 'jumping' sports will help A BIT. but not a lot - those things will basically improve your overall health ^^.

and to the person who said.. where HIGH HEELS...i believe its airotciVSEXYBeckham

WTF is wrong with you? if this girl followed your so called "advice" she would probably end up with medical problems in her legs and feet..reducing the chance of a significant growth upwards.

and also to the topic starter, you STILL HAVE TIME TO GROW.
people usually stop fully growing at 20..isnt that 4 years girl? and why are you so concerned anyway..its sorta hard to change..

and whats wrong with being vertically challenged

haha!
this was in the beauty thread too.
urms. i noticed, ever since my friends joined netball, they grew like ... MASSIVE
basketball only works for guys i wonder why.
but netball helps alot for girls.
maybe the sports' biased.
i like bball!

but as mentioned, gene problems.
the only effective ways is heels, platforms or surgery.
the rest is well ... up to you.
i'm fine with being short.
bigger range of guys to choose from((:

i HEARD, you gotta sleep more.. drink more milk. it doesnt work for some people though ( the milk thing haha )

Hey don't give up okay! I grew 4 inches after I got my period. You know how people always say that you will grow max 1 inch after you get your period? So I guess that proved them wrong. And then I grew another inch from 17 years old to 21? I think you still have hope.

My parents are not very tall either.

Anyway, what I think works. Drinking milk, skipping, actually just exercising in general and sleeping a lot. HAHA!
Well it worked for my brother and I. My brother is really much taller than both my parents, but I am hmm only moderately taller than them.

Anyway, good luck! Everyone used to make fun of me because I was short when everyone had already started their growth spurt. Now I think I'm taller than all the people who made fun of me.

Good luck!

jumping in general helps. not significantly. but maybe...at most a centimeter?
uhh girls usually stop around 20-25 i think...depends on how early they mature.
guys stop around 22-26.
im about 19 years old and i believe im done though. im 6 2..
i wish i was 6 4 ^^ but im not complaining.

excuse you?
Okay first of all, GROWTH IS IN YOUR GENE's. NO matter what you do, if your parents are SHORT, YOU WILL BE TOO!
You will NOT get medical problems in your legs :rolls eyes:
If so then VICTORIA must have THE ULTIMATE leg problems...yes?

You must be slow because wearing HIGH HEELS doens't STUNT YOUR GROWTH
LOL I don't know where you herd that from HAHAHHA
How old are you?!?
Maybe you need to take a health class to educate yourself on the human body
HAHAH
oh my...

i dont noo eat right and sleep alot? u grow when u sleep, buttt my doctor said i was gonna be 5 8 and i was like ohh, and now im 6 ft so in you face doctor!!
another weird thing about me is my teeth aligned them selves according to my dentist =D

Oh my maybe YOU need a brain check. Damn what a beckham clone. HEELS can stunt your growth if is AFFECTS your body posture. If your posture is affected then your body growth rate can become affected too. Makes sense NO?airotciVSEXYBeckham. Have you looked at posh lately? or are you too busy looking at those plastic balls in her chest? She is basically going to become CRIPPLED by those sky tall heels she wear 24 hours a day.

Although very random: thank god geri halliwell was voted to have the nicest pair of chests and beckham came fourth. At least geri is a yummy mummy. Anyone seen how gorgeous bluebell has been lately?

Sorry to be anal, but damn girls like you annoy me where you think you can come slam your heels in and declare bull and chicken. Girl, i dont take that crap especially where im very passionate in ensuring girls take care of themselves. Following celebrities like becks is dumb. D-U-M-B. I can spell no? I wonder if she can.

also it is not true that its genetically 100% follows after ur parents..
my parents are like 5 8 -5 10 and im 6 2.
my brother is like 5 11
and my other relatives are generally around 5 5 -5 10

for girls u generally stop growing in height at age 18 men like 21 ><:: no fair!!
Well what i say is even if u are short ur should still be proportionate, and i agree with the person who said that
u should just cut ur pants to length size' cause i do this too! >_____< hehehe



20%- 25% is genes the rest is environment; food [nutrients +minerals] and exercise.
cause my mom is 5'0'' and my dad is 5'4'' and my bro grew to 5'7'' i'm 5'2'' and wide

I have a PDF that tells you what kind of stretches & diet can help you grow. It was quite popular when I posted about it in another thread [which I can not find _ _"] and I'm not sure if anyone one kept with it and got any results. If you still want to read it, PM me with your email addy.

did anyone say drink milk?
drink milk. sleep more. eat healthy. stretch more.
dont stay up too late often.

eating, AND exercising lots at the same time will definitely help.
my cousin's mum is rly short but he jogs and plays soccer and he grew into a giant !
i dno if it really works but stretch in the morning.
it helped me grow a little, idk if it was that though.

I exercised a lot. When I was growing, I drank 3 cups of milk a day and joined the volleyball team. I think that if I hadn't, I would be 2 inches shorter.

Please tell me, how does Posh look? DOes her posture look bad now? How does it affect your body posture? If you have bad posture, it's because of you yourself, not because of shoes lol. Fix your posture. How is she going to become crippled? Please give me one case where a woman is CRIPPLED from wearing high-heeled shoes, not like a sick women that's weak, but a healthy woman that wore the right size shoes.
I'm sorry that the truth annoys you. Yes, girls should take care of themselves, but you think wearing heels hurt them hahaha. You're funny. What they do do, is if you have a genetic tendency to have WEBVAINS (permenant pigment of a vain) then high-heels will increase that.
They have NOTHING TO DO WITH stunnting your growth. HAHA
They make you taller and that's what the topic starter wanted.

keep talking . this is fun

Bunions....OH NO!
that doesn't stunt your growth hahaha
It's a small price you have to pay with looking beautiful

"Miss Beckham's penchant for towering stilettos was most likely to blame."

Oh and it states RIGHT THERE that they arn't sure... "MOST LIKELY" is not a confident word.
It could be genetic...

Yah, my parents always told me to drink milk.
I wouldnt know if it works tho since i never liked milk really. And look at me still at 5'0
guess i should listened to my parents ><

Im 5'9" and both of my parents are shorter than me. I know its a lot of genetics but when i was younger i ate SO much. I could sit at a buffet and eat 10x more than the adults. I used to play outside with the neighborhood kids almost 24/7. On weekends i would go out from like 8 am till midnight. The food i ate was pretty healthy since my mom cooks korean food and the diet is naturally healthy. I never gained any weight because i was so active every day. I think food along with the working out (playing lol) really affected my height. My brother always played outside too and ate even more than me. Hes 16 and 6'0"~ Im pretty sure if we had just sat inside all of our childhood we wouldnt be this tall. Its really important to be healthy and not diet/starve yourself while your body is growing. Korean teenage girls always trying to be the skinniest by not eating.. it could be affecting your growth.

Milk? =] stretch everyday too
get a lot of sleep! umm, and my mom said if you eat the meat (chicken, pork, beef) that was injected with the hormone thingamabob to make them grow....there are chances that you might grow too. I dunno but my aunt said some people that ate a lot of those meat went through puberty faster than usual it's bad for you though xD

I heard only that milk will grown.. but thnx for the tip anyway! Cause i wanna grow like 5.7 so i'm not being 5.3 T__T'
