^ what am i talking about? whaaaa?

I'm sure someone's already said it, but I don't feel like reading every page of this. But, you only grow when you're asleep. So... sleep more? Take vitamins. If you're so concerned with it, talk to your doctor about those shots that increase your hormones and all that good stuff.

^I think I'll go take a nap now

lol
well, I'm 15 [turninng 16 in Dec.] and I'm 5 ft 4
It sucks when ur sis is 5 ft 7 and only 13

Midgettsssss

im 5' and havnt grown since i was 13 lol im almost 21

my boyfriend is 6'4 soooo yea haha

5'4" isn't even that short...

I definately wish I was taller, 5'2'' argh, I want to be 5'7''.

5'3 3/4.

I'm shrinking. I swear I was 5'4 last time I got measured.

YOU ARE 5'2??
What the heck! I thought you told me you were like 5'7.

How do you even reach the cash register at McDonalds?

so what should I do to get short? I'm 16, a girl, and about 5'9, on my way to 5'10! asdf. I wanna be a model but my parent's aren't for it. and I don't do cocaine.

i do!! can i have at least 2 inches?

hoho, i measured myself this past weekend, and i've grown! regardless of it being only 1 cm, but hey, i've been 18 for a couple of months now. it gives me hope that i'm still growing.

Haha that's how Michelle and I are


Stool



Yeah, 6'2" is ideal for me :)

yeah! we have a deal.

Haha im taller and im 14, im 5'3. Not by much though =D I hope to get around 5'7 or a little taller when I get older.

Try stretching, doing basketball. Ask the doctor if theirs any hope. Pray to god you arnt finished growing.

im a "tall" girl. im 5'6 and some. i wish i was 5'4.

You can't believe you're only 5'4"?
I can't believe I'm still 4'11". Trust me, people have it worse than you do.

my dad told me i was going to stop growing when i was 5'5''. i was heart broken. now i'm 5'8'' :D
although i feel weird since everyone else i know is pretty short

Haha, this is funny, I used to feel so short, but I didn't really care all that much. I mean asians are short so that's expected. But anyway all of the sudden I had a major growth spurt. I'm taller than both my older sisters who are 21 and 19 (I'm 18). Being short really isn't that bad at all. Just know there is someone out there who is short as you or even shorter and maybe around your age. Even right now I kinda wish it was a little bit shorter. That's because my date for prom, is just a little bit taller than me, but I might be taller than him if I wear these really beautiful 3 inch high heels to prom, maybe we might be the same height. lol.

I'm 5'7". Everyone in my family is under 5'5". I have no idea how I did it.

I'm 5'1.5"

My father and my uncle (they're brothers) both had two girls. I'm the oldest out of the four girls. I have a younger sister of 5 years, a younger cousin of 2 years, and a younger cousin of 9 years.

ALL OF THEM ARE TALLER THAN ME.

My younger sister is like 5'5" at the very least. My younger cousin of 2 years is about 5'8". And the youngest out of all of them is my height.

WHY'D THEY GET THE TALL GENES?

LMFAO.

Haha. Well, the dude hasn't posted since. Maybe he killed himself?

if you go to a doctor can't they check like growth plates or something to see if you'll get any taller?
i'm thinking they can, like with x-rays and all that jazz


so before all the stretching and stuff, i'd suggest you check that out.

I'd love to be 5'4.
I'm 18 and only 5'1

You say that as if the "stretching and stuff" would actually do anything.

I'm 5'3'' and 13.
Still growing, I hope o_o.

I started growing a lot when I began to play tennis.
Go exercise? Stretching would probably help a lot too.

No, it wouldn't.

^It would if you did it in the right time period. If you tried to do it when you're 20, chances are you won't do much. If you're still at the beginning of puberty and young, exercise can be the difference between being 5'1" or 5'3". Stretching can help elongate your spine, adding only a couple of inches. Other exercises can help strengthen your bones or elongate your muscles. It's not guaranteed to work for everyone but it's been shown that if kids exercise during the onset of puberty, it helps with development.

That's because exercising increases endocrine factors, such as GH secretion (and even then, the amount that actually contributes is specious), not because of lumbar flexion. If spinal decompression had permanent effects, it wouldn't even be a recurring practice to begin with.

Synthetic bone density has nothing to do with that, and exercising does not lengthen your muscles. It shortens them. Your muscles contract as a defense mechanism against stress, which is why you feel stiff after activities like weightlifting.

I'm 5'4" & i'm turning 18 in like 5 months. Hahaha. I kinda hope to not grow. It's like an average height, no? Nothing wrong with that (:

i dont think there is anything you can do to get taller. if you drink coffee, stop, b/cot stunts your growth.

but lemme tell ya, being tall isn't that great. i've been 6'1 since i was like ten (im 14 now, in case you care lol) and it isn't that amazing. i'd rather be a few inches shorter

Coffee doesn't stunt your growth.

im in grade 8 and im only 5'3 =[ i hope to grow to 5'7-5'8 by the time school ends but it's pretty bad being this short cuz all the guys i date and all my friends are in grade 11 and 12

I don't think many things make you grow taller, or stunt your height growth. You could always go to the doctors and have them break your legs and reset them. Or go get your hands on some growth hormone. Orrrr you could just work on accepting yourself the way you are. I'm 5'6 and I honestly wouldn't want to be any taller. I only have on other girl friend that is shorter than me, but I've learned to be okay with it. I'd rather be short than 6' or taller and have all eyes on me when I walk through the door.
