[Harbl]

No. Just lay down on your back and wait it out.

[Makaveli]

If your body is already passed it's growing stages
then you're out of luck. If not then just wait. Time will
do it.

Anyways, how old are you? What's your height right now?
If you're still in elementary school or middle school or you still haven't
started your period yet, then you can still grow more inches from what I heard from doctors to doctors.

Stretching doesn't work <__<;; From what I heard, it's only for warm up exercise.

If I were you, I would just drink lots of milk. But if you don't like milk, then, um...
eat something with LOTS OF CALCIUM. It helps.

[Christinaisweird]

5inches by when? and plus do you want it to reach 5 more inches in like a month or a year?
growing takes time.
play some sports or work out. it might help.
make sure not to get too many injuries and have a healthy lifestyle.

[sugarlessgirl]

sleep alot. get enough calcium. and take a look at your parents (i.e. what are your genetics). theres always surgery but i dont think they can do 5 inches

[chiuuy]

hmm..
genetics- key to height.
I personally think stretching helps a bit..not a whole lot.
From teh beginning of the year to now i've been stretching (to a point of pain) ..and i've grown a bit.
also, alot has to do with diet.... in my case.
im extremely healthy most times..and i drink milk everyday.
i wouldn't say im a giant. but 5'8 for a asian girl is pretty tall..and im still growing .hehe.

[kirra12]

my parents give my bro all sort of things from pills milk etc cause he seems not to grow last time,
it doesnt work.

i dont do anything weird other than play basketball everyday from 7pm - 9pm eventually i am taller than my bro

also swimming helps. *so i assume stretching helps too*

[christabellla]

skipping (jumping)
ALOT !

[bliZZard -x]

Well, if you've reached the epitome of your growing abilities....
You can try some appropriate stretching exercises.
The backbone is naturally curved, and the intensity of curvature can actually subtract a few inches from your intended height. Blame gravity and the shape of your backbone. Try sleeping without a pillow.
A pillow has been misjudged to be the appropriate way of sleeping, but it cranes your neck into an awkward position. though it might take away some comfort from you. =/

well. yeah.


otherwise, if you still DO have potential to grow...
Eat a good diet, ensure you have the appropriate amount of minerals and vitamins.

get lots of sleep ,
and when you wake up in the morning ,
dont get up right away ..
stretch your arms above your head ,
and your legs off the foot of the bed [:

Umm..Chinese medicine. I don't know which one though.

I'll tell you something. I had a Chinese friend whose height was around 5'0 on her highschool sophomore year. Come summer, 2 months. After 2 months, we were APPALLED to see her grow to 5'7. But it was not the "flattering" type of growing tall. Her torso grew, not her legs. It was like, she was stretched like

I don't know how she did it

[rachilde]

Genetics. Don't stress it. People have to reach things in low places too.

[L.FOR.LOVE]

break both your legs and don't get surgery
bones wil lgrow back naturally
hurts a lot, but makes you taller

is the chinese medicine "tian qi"? or "hua shen gen"?

i was once very desperate about growing taller too, but i guess i gotta accept the fact that genetics play the largest role here. if your genes decide that you should be short then theres really nothing much you can do. but having said all that, i do believe that a miracle would happen lol. heres what, i have a friend who suddenly appear taller just after a few weeks. and shes apparently older than me, if i had passed the growing stage, all the more she shouldnt be growing any longer! (lol, but actually im still undergoing my puberty ) i asked her how she did it, and she said: YOGA.

another friend also grew taller after quite some time.. i dont know whether it was because she also slimmed down that was why the contrast made her appear taller but anyway, i asked her for her secret and she said: SWIMMING.

i also have another friend who SHOT more than a dozen centimeters in his height, i asked him for his secret and he said: SLEEP.

then another friend also grew taller and subsequently taller than me, i asked him for his remedy and he said: TIAN QI (chinese herbs) and HUA SHEN GEN (chinese soup)

[SleazyTerdz]

Not familiar with terms like sophomores and such, but that would make you 15? 16? Assuming you're female, then you've probably stopped growing. I think playing lots of basketball and volleyball could help, but I can't guarantee that.

[chocolatie]

Stretching...I don't think would help too much? You would just be stretching muscle not bones.
The best thing to do is get plenty of sleep and nutrition.
If you are extremely desperate...in Asia, they break people's (athletes& etc.,) bones to make them grow longer.
But this process, obviously, is painful and could take very long.

I've never heard of that...
She said "Spi grow" or something like it. I tried it, and damn, I have to take 9 CAPSULES EVERY SINGLE DAY.
3 at morning, 3 at noon, 3 at night. I didn't grow loool. c:
But my friend took it for 2 months *I only took it 3 weeks, it's expensive for me, and slightly makes me paranoid due to the 9 capsules* and played basketball... O:

Awesome. I'll take note of those and ask my chinese teacher. Another teacher said shen yang balls, and it's very particular with "what you're not supposed to eat"...I guess many people didn't know about the stuff you're not allowed to eat, so they didn't grow. xDDD
