Getting taller., How? Options

[creole]

So, I want to be a bit taller. I'm like 5' 6" right now, and I think being taller will help me gain more confidence. All my guy friends are at least 6' and it's kind of intimidating for me. Heck, my relative that was like 1' shorter than me grew this whole year and he's now like 6' 4".

I heard losing weight and getting more calcium will help. What do you guys do?

Get over yourself. I'm 5'3 and I'm fine with it. Thankfully I'm finally starting to grow faster though. :3 The downside is my joints are freaking killing me from the growing pains.

Also, you could always get some hgh pills. And there is a surgery that can give you a few inches where they add more to your shins.

lol, and this is coming from someone who started puberty even more recently than Beenly probably did. You will both shoot up in height over the next few years, so don't worry too much. I was about 5'4" when I was 12, hit 5'8" when I was around 17, and haven't grown since then (thank goodness).

I really don't think you should mess around with your body's development with medication. Wait until you're at least 18/have hit your height ceiling and decide what to do then; it would suck if you screwed yourself over for life just because you were so desperate to grow a few inches taller. :\
