Sorry, at your age there’s nothing to do by now.\nThe height as many other organ variation starts with the birth and goes on progressively until to reach his apex during the puberty and adolescence age. At that time, the sexual development starts too. Generally around 18-20 both height and sexual development decrease, steadying till to stop definitively. Somebody begins the development earlier than other but anyway at that age some characteristic become stable, as well as the height when the bone and the skeleton development is definitive. Therefore, medically there is some possibility to intervene ONLY when the bone still are developing, just stimulating a bigger possible growth.\nAt last, don’t forget that the height, as like as any other body attribute, is a genetic factor.

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

Your final adult height is dependent on a number of factors. Genereally it is thought to be 70% Genes and 30% Nutrition. By This i mean 'how tall you can grow, but not necessarily how tall you will grow' is largely determined by how tall your family is. If your parents are tall there is a good chance you will be tall.\n\n 5 foot 7 is a good height for someone who is just 14 and you will continue to grow - but no not at the same rate 6 inches in 1.5 years is amazing but u 'will not' continue at the same rate and will gradually slow down towards the end of puberty until you stop growing at an average age for boys of about 17 and younger for girls about 14 - 15, i was about the same at14, im 5 foot 11 now (same height as my dad). \n\n Nutrition is extremely important during this period in your life and yes milk will help to give you strong bones and help you to continue to grow in a healthy way. You should be drinking a little more milk generally, 3 cups a day.\n\n No one is to say exactly when you will stop growing, some men continue till their 20s so you'll know in the end, just look after yourself, dont get into bad habits that could stunt your growth like smoking and you are likely to be a big strong lad soon. It is always good for a man to be tall and whereever you end up is good, no one is to say what a good height is but over 6 foot is considered good really (opinion not fact) - be proud of however tall you are.\n\n and lol yea....its ok to go out with a chick taller than you if you're cool with it...girls go through puberty quicker and so are taller than boys at first and then guys catch up - generally ending up taller than women - dont let height interfere with your love life.\n\n and good luck keep growing! - talk to your doctor for real useful advice on your growth and 'any' questions you have.

im 5'0 and i've been that way sence i was in 8th grade (i'm 19 now) there is really nothing that you can do about your height..All that milk does is make your bones stronger..so weather you hate to drink milk or you drink it everyday it will not effect how tall you grow...however milk is good for you and i would hope that you would have some milk everyday weather it be by glass or in cereal....Good Luck

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.

You can't... height is basically genetic.  The fads out there that suggest that you can become taller or shorter through product or excersize are mainly myth.

Being short is not a curse. I am 18 years old and have been 4 11 since i was a sophomore in High school. I love being the way I am. I would not want to be any taller if I had the chance. You still have time to grow. Just eat healthy and perhaps you can get the most out of the growing time you have left. If you want to know whether or not you are done growing go to your doctor and get an x-ray of your growth plates in your legs. If they are fused together you are done growing. I have been done for  a very long time. Embrace your height, it is not a bad thing. Granted you will never be a basket ball player but you have many other things to your advantage.

It depends on what your definiton of short is.  You are only fourteen.  You have about four more good years of growing to do!  How tall is your mom and dad?  You will probably take after them.  Until you are done growing(and after)make sure to get lots of calcium, take a multivitamin, and make sure to get lots of excercise.  Also dont drink to many caffeinated pops or coffee. They deplete your bones of calcium

well people grow taller till the ends of the long bones keep growing ...once they are fused no gain in height is usually possible. If you feel that your growth is not proper do get an appointment with an endocrinologist who deals with problems of growth...however i think your height is sufficient ti leading a normal and fruitful life...so why worry there is more to life then just being tall!!

Everybody is different. People have told me that I wont grow any taller when I was 19 (I was 5'2") Especially since I was girl because girls stop growing at a younger age. But now Im 21 and I grew to 5'5 1/2. I had another growth spurt at around age 20 and grew three inches in one year. Especially after I started eating calcum chews.\n\nI think the key is to take advantage of your growth spurts. Eat more vitamins and calcium supplements. Also since I sleept on a firmer bed I lengthened my back. After a few years of sleeping like this I think It helped out alot.\n\nAnd being as young as you are, your testosterone has yet to kick into full gear! Be paitient and good luck!

It's possible that you could level off at around 6ft or a bit taller \nor if you hit puberty early you may not grow anymore but generally speaking you grow until you are roughly 18 but I have had friends that had a growth spurt when 21 so it all depends on genetic's and ancestry.  Ask your parents if they had tall uncles or grandparents or any ancestors that had been tall.  Myself my dad is only 5'10" but I'm almost 6'2 and have older brothers we share the same dad and they are 6'4" and 6' 5" but I also have \nScandinavian background, Viking and Icelandic so it goes to say we are built like tree trunks as well.

To be sure you could go to a growth specialist, but my guess is that you will grow to be at least on the shorter end of average. Don't expect to be NBA tall, but also don't worry so much about your height, you are many years before your growth stops.

You are lucky you're 5'9" with parents that tall.  They must love you alot. Studies show that children who are nurtured while growing can grow taller.  Hug your parents and drink milk, stay away from caffeine.

there is nothing wrong with your height! Youre fine the way you are :) Besides, youre past the age of growing any taller. If youre really passionate about being taller, try wearing boots, theyre hot and theyll give you confidence!

Hang around really short people?  Don't worry about it. It's something you can't change so accept it. Besides, if you are tall, everybody asks to to "reach that for me please".
