You see i'm 13 years old korean dude that is 5'2"
most of all my friends friends are taller then me and makes me feel really akward around them
i was thinking of trying those korean medicines but i had a friend of mine who took it and gained like 25 pounds on it and didn't even get taller...
soooo
i would like to know if there is any thing that can help me get taller and if those krean medicines actually work or not

EXCERSIZE!
Yes yes. It helps you heaps :]
Helped my bro! Now he's like freaky tall xD
But it won't work like if you only do it once or something, you gotta excersize regularly...
Sooo yeah, and probably your growthspurt hasn't started yet? ^^;
I hoped I helped :3

You'll probably just have to wait for a growth spurt if you haven't gotten one yet.
My older brother was average height when he was around your age, but when he was in 8th grade, he shot up about 4 inches.
A lot of guys I know were also kind of short, but out of nowhere, they grow tall, or end up being taller than all the other guys.

wow the fact that your 13 kinda hit me because my sister is 12 and I could not picture her on a forum...

anyways, my boyfriend was one of the shortest around age 13, but after his growth spurt, he's of the taller ones among his friends.

Guys stop growing at 25 years old, so you'll be fine.

you're 13! you're gonna hit your growth spurt sooner or later!
you're not gonna grow over night. its gonna take some time.
have a good overall diet. take in lots of calcium like milk, fish, etc.
you're still growing. it'll be a long time until you stop growing. prolly another 7-10 years.
Im a 14 year old girl and I'm only like 5 or 5' 1"... tongue.gif
dont stress over it! happy.gif

Korean medicines (and the like) DO NOT work. Years ago, my mom bought "growth pills" for $200, all kinds of different shakes, and shoved food down my throat... I stand at 5'1 today; I think that speaks for itself smile.gif.

Haha. My brother's 15 and he's only 5' 1". (We're Korean, too)

Stretching really helps. Stretching your spine can add 3 in. to your height (it's not as crazy as it sounds). It just takes a while.
Back in January I was 4' 11". Now I'm 5' .5" (and it's not growth spurt or anything, I'm pretty much done with puberty >_>)

Also "jumping" sports, like basketball. ^^

Please feel free to pm or comment about collabing ;) i dont bite.
I also noobishly mix. So if you need someone to mix, i'll be happy to help out.

Sorry bout that pic guys... someone went onto my account... and put that there...

evry new years eve.
exactly when the clock hits 12
jump as high as you can and just keep jumping for one min. or until it's 12:01
hah! well one of my flip friends told me that.. its a tradition..
it's cool though cause i guess it does work. i was a 5'2 now i'm a 5'5.. haha!
or drink a lot of milk, do not smoke, and don't drink any caffeine! happy.gif
