Just drink milk everyday, simple and easy. (the calcium makes youre bones grow...you probably heard that already) but it really does work.

I'm 5'7", i had the same problem when i was younger, no self confidence , because most of the girls were taller than me. I could not ask them out or even talk to them knowing i will be to short for them.\n  So one day i decided to do something about it. I went and bought myself a pair of 5" platform shoes.. ( by the way, this was in 1975, this was the year for fashion LOL..)anyway\nit was sat night i was getting ready to go to the disco, i wore my flying nun collard shirt, my 16"flared trousers, and my new 5" platform shoes, my flares would cover most of my shoes so knowone would notice them. Anyway i went to meet my mates outside the disco, i got off the bus and i started to walk towards the disco. I felt great walking 6' tall, i could see all these people lining up waiting to go in, and just as i crossed the road i must of stepped on a large stone or something, and my ankle gave way and ended up flat on the floor with my flares up to my knees and my shoes exposed for everyone to see. All i can remember is everyone p...ing them selfs with laughter, my mates, and all the girls standing there, i never lived it down.\n  After i binned the shoes i decided to approach it in a different way, instead of trying to be the tall guy i might as well be the funny short guy and just make the girls laugh. With that sense of humour i dated a few tall girls.\n  ( Sorry this has dragged on a bit )

You never said how much taller you want to grow?  Your goal of a month is too short. (Excuse the pun, it was intended).\n\nDo stretching exercises.  stand flat footed with both heels touching at all times.  Raise your arms in the air and stretch as far as you can.  Find something that is just out of reach to aim at. You will find that you will be able to reach that object soon. When you do so, find another target.\n\nGood luck

Go down to your local provision store and inquire about this.\n\nMost sell powder you can mix with water and drink, which helps you grow taller.\n\nBut I don't recommend this cos it may produce side effects like overgrowth or uneven growth.

You have fair enough chance to gain height.\nSkipping & Cycling can help you. \nWhile you go for Cycling, you must ride a cycle with a height that you can't touch it's paddles at ease. \nTry any of these two, for 30-60 minuts a day, for about Six months.\nSee it's amazing outcome.

Sorry, I can't give you any recommendations to increase your height.  The bones of your skeleton determine your height, and you can't really make them grow any more than they want.  Good news, you still may grow another inch or so in the next few years.  I grew and inch in my freshman year of college to 5'1-1/2"!  My sister grew and inch at the same time, so now she's an even 5 foot! I recommend to come to terms with your "height deficit", take all the short jokes in stride,  and take advantage of tall people over the coming years by making them get things for you that are out of your reach.  And invest in a step stool.  When you get older and move out, you may have to get your own things out of a tall cupboard every now and then.\n\nI've read in magazines every now and then there are ways to dress to make you "appear taller", and you can wear tall shoes sometimes, but unless you are a billionaire that can afford radical surgery/treatment options, love the body your in.  It's the only one you've got.

eating healthy foods and having enough sleep.\n\nmost people think that you need to have enough calcium, but they actually don't know that calcium doesn't actually help you growing taller for it only goes to the calcium depository inside your bones with the help of osteocytes. therefore calcium is for your bone mass and not bone length, but still needed for your bone mass if ever you got taller. ;)\n\nand by the way, the part which really makes us longer are those of the ones interconnected to other bones with the ligaments, etc. for those are the reasons why bones extend from their normal sizes. i can't recall the term, let me tell you when i get back to my house for my book, im in summer vacation right now.

Before... what?\n\nOnce you hit a certain age, it is impossible to grow taller. Your epiphyses fuse at the joints (elbows, knees, fingers, toes, etc.) because your cartilage growth plates have become calcified (turned to bone). There are pills on the market that claim to be able to make you grow taller, but I just don't see how that's possible since you can't add length to bone that has already hardened.

you really cant increase your heighth. If you take a good source of vitamins and are under 21 it will help increase your hiegth!

Don't worry about it so much.  You will start getting taller in high school.  Then all sorts of changes will happen.  Don't rush growing up!  You can't reverse the process, so enjoy it while you're young!  Best wishes...Millie

Sure you can get taller. Swimming usually makes your shoulders broad though. Try swimming for about 3 times a week. surely NOT everyday or you'll get sore from all the exercise.  Basketball or anything JUMPY will help you grow taller.

there are better things that you can do to grow taller than just take supplements.. drink a lot of milk (at least 3 full cups per day), play basketball, stretch whenever you can and the most important thing : have confidence about yourself

Naturally?  Then do nothing.  \n\nYou can get a little taller temporarily by doing things like hanging upside down for hours a day and stretching your back.  That's what football players do to get that extra inch for the measurements during the combine.  Not really worth the time though.\n\nBetter to just accept your height and move on.  Height means very little in the long run, and anyone who treats you differently because you're shorter, or taller, than them has their own issues to deal with.  \n\nBesides, shorter people live longer!\n\nGood luck.\n\n**late addition - calcium can't hurt, vitamins can't hurt, and seeing a doctor to examine your growth plates might not be a bad idea.  They should be able to tell you if nature has anything left in the tank for you.

I'd be willing to bet that you'll grow about three more inches. That will take you to 5'7". YOu can always have your parent(s) take you to a doctor. They can do a measurement of certain bones and give you a good prediction. But remember, it's not just vitamins, it's protein and fat that makes you tall. There was a study that found that vegetarians (from infancy) don't get as tall as those who eat animal proteins. But they are still healthy and can be quite athletic. \n\nJust wanted to add, I'm pretty tall for a woman, but I was not just attracted to tall men but also men who were shorter than me who had a strong physical presence and confidence that made up for their stature.
