I'm 5'7" and I still feel short.

You eat healthy and pray to God that you haven't finished growing.

If not, transform yourself into clay and you can stretch yourself longer that way.

When I saw this before in the Boys Locker room, I was thinking the down there height. lol

Swimming usually stretches your body out.

You could take HGH (human growth hormone) pills, but that might cause your body to.. not be in proportion (like huge hands/feet/face/whatever). It sometimes doesn't cause you to grow taller.

Doesn't work. My sister, who's 22, tried that and is still 5'2". I'm glad I have the taller genes or I'd be as short as my sister. laugh.gif

If you want the easy route, I'd say stretch often, though I'm not sure how much that'll help you since you're already 18. Or you could lie in bed all day long to perhaps defy gravity.

But if you want to do it the hard way, take a vacation to Japan and get a leg-stretching operation. Basically, they'll break your legs and insert mechanical devices in your leg that will stimulate growth of new bones to replace the gaps of the broken bones, to put it rather simply. Just typing that makes me cringe. pinch.gif More Info Here.

5'4? Not short. If you still feel short, move to Asia. You'll be the tallest one there.

I'm only around 5'1, and I'm pretty close to 18 myself. I don't think I'm growing any taller any time soon. I've accepted it.

You could try having an operation to lengthen your legs, but that's a little drastic, no?

In all fairness, there's much more of a stigma against short males than short females. It's not a problem if a girl's short, but if a guy's short...well, there are certain social stigmas that occur.

I wasn't sure if it was a girl or a guy... lol.

But yeah, I realize that it's harder for guys to be short. :[

Probably won't work on someone who's 18—human growth hormone only works properly when you're still growing.

So basically, I'd just accept it and be happy with who you are. I'm 21 and only 5'2", so I know how you feel—but the only time it bothers me is when I'm shopping for clothes, and that's because I can never find anything in my size. Look on the bright side: At least you're unique. And you can always compensate for your size by having a big personality.

I feel like a damn giant. I'm 5'6.5 (same height as beyonce :winnk:) but really 5'4" is so not that short. I have friends way shorter. Its awkward. cuz I'm like the jolly light skinned giant lol. anyway, height isnt something people regularly discriminate about. Its not like beign short wuld stop people from hiring you...I mean unless the job required you to reach high heights? I don't know. Just don't worry about it. At least you arent short and obese. 5 feet tall, weight 300 pounds..you KNOW that sucks!
