I've NEVER been insecure about my height up until now...when I realized how short I was T_____T

I'm turning 17 in June...I was wondering if it's too late for me to grow? And if it's not, what are some good ways to accelerate your growth rate?

I heard drinking a glass of milk and stretching before bed helps...

And then there's that hormone vaccine thing o.o But I don't like needles xD

[PDURRR]

it really depends on the person..its mostly genetics

but generally.
milk doesn't really help you grow, it makes your bones stronger...but it doesn't help you grow

and yes, it's possible to grow in your early twenties

supposedly one of my professors had a really late growth spurt in her first year of college

[HERinsinuation]

Eat a complete, balanced diet, consume diary products for calcium to facilitate bone growth and counteract degeneration, and most importantly - exercise! =D

It worked for my brother, so I'm guessing its better than nothing. My parents are short (my dad's probably around 5'5 and my mom's around 5'0) I'm 5'2 (hated milk) but my brother's like 5'11 (loves milk) or something. so yeah its better than nothing...

[Pogichinoy]

Yes, its true, plus donuts.

I drank full cream milk and ate donuts every day and I'm over 6ft tall.

The japanese love their fish bones.

[x. suki]

i hope its true
lmao T_______T

[princepanda]

u still grow maturely have female features but growing in height properly ends there might hit a inch in height

[★jace★]

i personally hate milk, so didnt touch any and am now abt 5'4. which is ok, since my mom is abt 5ft and my dad 5'4. my brother drinks milk like mad and is now 5'7 and apparently still growing. he's 16 only though.

as for whether we really keep growing till 20... not for me. i stopped growing when i was 15. the height just stopped there while the weight part keeps increasing...

[bebexlove]

I hate milk.. Ugh.. don't like the stuff.

I'm 5'2 and i've been this height since junior high? I'm 21 now.. Haha.. I don't think i'm gonna grow anymore....... Lol.

[Babii3x]

ugh i hate milk too. hate the taste.

i think i've stopped growing, i stopped drinking milk in 2001 .... havent grown at all since march 2007 ..... & i'm now 13 + 5'3... i just turned 12 back then

but it might depends on ur parents ? i'm not sure.

[0nekhmer]

i dont think it helps you groww like above said it just helps make your bones stronger, most children who drink lots of milk tend to be a bit chubby i know i was when i was like 3 or 4 then i stopped drinking from the bottle and started to become skinnier.. but height is usually genetics i'm 5'7 ish myself and my dad is 5'8.

[fanfre]

i loved milk, and then i stopped drinking it for a while. and then i decided to try again...then i tried to go back to chocolate milk and i was gonna throw up at school in ms (it just tasted so nasty). since then, i've been drinking white milk whenever i could...it actually has this sweet taste to it, but if i drink too much...it becomes nasty!

but the point is, i haven't grown since 8th grade--i've grown sideways, though, lol...i hope i have that late growth spurt, lol...? at the least, i hope that 20 years old thingy is true...?

[milkbottle.]

I don't think I grew because of the milk.
I never really drank any milk before and I grew above average height.
It might be a little too late at 17 since I'm 13 (going on 14) and all I grow is 2cm every 6 months.
Soon, I'll stop growing.

[sum0v0]

I have been wondering the same question.
I just realized long legs are very attractive XD -
( I had always thought short girls are cute, that's why I wanted to stay short)
But I am drinking soymilk...does it have the same/similiar function as milk?
Although milk doesn't play a big role on growing taller, but it sure does seems to have some effect!

[ajlee613]

u wanna get tall? eat fish. with white meat. and drink milk so ur bones get strong enough to support more growth.

yes. fish.

[krit]

probably the GMOs from the milk help you grow taller more than anything else the liquid contains...

exercise helps you grow, and yes, so does stretching, esp in the form of yoga. (yoga helps a lot)

[Freya69]

actualy it works for me )
milk, healthy food, and sport (excercise).

It'll help much XD

[Cotton Canvas]

Well I'm 6'2" and I love milk. I can't contribute my height to just milk because I do know some people who drink a lot of milk when they were younger and they're <5'6". I drank milk every single day when I was a kid, I think you can still grow until your mid 20s but the earlier you start, the better the benefits. I can't stand drinking skim or reduced milk- it tastes so watered down for me. Whole milk all the way! ^__^
I also believe that asians are somewhat lactose intolerant. We're naturally this way since we don't the kind of cows Western nations did in the past, so we really can't take in the full benefits of milk.

[tsushio]

1. depend on ur genes
2. ur 17...dont worry.....u'll grow...why?...coz i grew taller now than when i was 17....xD...i'm not that old either....i was 17, it was about 2 years ago,....and i got alot taller now than before...do the math.....xDD...i even taller than my friend's boyfriend...xD...
