currently, i'm about 4'11 - 5 ft. i heard that if you drink milk every day, you can get taller. but it hasn't worked at all for me. i drink 2 glasses each day, and i'm still supershort. is there any other way to get taller? anything worked for you guys(well, girls)?

Drinking milk will only make the bones you already have stronger, but it will not help make them grow. Your height is basically determined by your genetics, and there isn't much you can do to change it. If you're still young you may still have a growth spurt coming up, but other than that your height won't be changing by much.

usually its all genetics....
just be confident the way you are...
ppl say play more basketball...or swim...but im not sure if that will help you get any taller tho :S

[zoopia]

it depends on your age. you stop growing at a certain age.

but i've heard stretching helps....not too sure though..

[random koohkie]

Hmm. I would say it depends if you had your period yet.
If you had your period pretty early on, you'll probably only grow another inch or so.

i heard jumproping, stretching, and playing basketball helps. my friend's sister played basketball everyday and she towers over us. might not be because of basketball tho.

Nothing can help you get taller but you can prevent stunted growth (delayed growth) in your height, before you hit the end of your puberty, but I'd say your height is close to average on the Asian scale

[Strify~]

Try doing some sports [:
Like swimming, volleyball or basketball.
Those really help you stretch more and might Help you to get taller.
But yeah, genetics are the ones that count more.
But don't worry, theres nothing wrong in not being a giant xD

put stress on your muscles...

lol learning this stuff in gym...

No milk does not help >____>. . .

Stretching your hamstrings, ect will help you.

What age do girls stop growing? Im just wondering if theres still hope for me XD; Im around the same height as the topic poster but the thing is. everyone in my immediate family are around 5"5 and 5"6 @____@; Im 15 turning 16 in April.

[letzsmile]

my friend grew one and a half in over the weekend after she ran the marathon. lolz im not joking she seriously did and my bio teacher explained to us why it happened, i just dont remember clearly on the details....

[angel_cutie]

AWSOME LOL!!

[xthefirst]

so, exercise and stretching is best, but genetics will ultimately determine it... got it. thanks

You and I are about the same height. I'm kinda short since my parents are like only 5'2".
ilk doesn't work, of course. I've been drinking at least 1 glass of milk everyday since...forever!
I sure hope I have a growth spurt saved up somewhere. T_T I'm 14 in about 3 months!

dude
you have plenty of time

I'm taller than my parents, my father was the taller one. Daily, I simply drank full cream milk, ate donuts and exercised during highschool. However I didn't do these things to become tall, I just think that those were the causes because they were the most consistent things.

[spixder]

Genetics hmm....My bro and I are like the tallest in the family, also the tallest when it comes to other relatives too

[joychin89]

Do a lot of stretching. Jumping helps but it's not as good as stretching

[Flicksityy]

I study biology (unfortunately) and genes does not take a big role in your making.

It's usually genetics x environmental factor.

This should also include the way you eat, sleep, and where you live

[kadfish]

at what age do you stop growing?
im 14 and im only 5'0 ;~;
