Sorry there’s nothing to do now.\nThe development begins with the birth and reached its apex during the adolescence time.\nDuring that time, physicians can intervene with some specific drugs (hormones) with a fairly possibility to increase a bit the height. During that time, some specific sports (swimming, volley, etc.) can help too.  \nNow your skeleton and bones have already reached their max length and fixed definitively.  \nOnly a miracle could satisfy you!

depends on the Human Growth Hormone produced by the person. normally girls will start 'becoming taller' at the age of 13 untill 17 and boys usually at the age of 15 untill 18. this is why u see girls are usually taller in schools than boys !! i dont know how many CMs coz it depends on 2 things, the genetics of the person (if his/her parents were tall ..etc) and enviromental conditions (as nutrietion..etc)

Its not true that if you play basketball/volleyball you grow taller. Its just a superstition.\n\nI'm pretty sure that there is no way to make you taller naturally. Its all genes but youre just 13, you should still grow.

not that odd.. males don't stop growing until they are around 21, females around 18

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 still have time. I beleive humans reach their max height at 18. I would be sure to cut back on sugars and caffeine as they are thought to stunt growth.

we build muscles by stressing them out. lift some weights or play more. i have no idea about the height thing though. i'm guessing that's generic. but you can do exercises for your back & shoulder muscles to give you better posture- that would make you appear taller. in any case, holding your head high always helps.

Increase of height is a natural process. For male the ultimate age of height growth is about 21 yrs. And for female it is about 18. Anyone’s height depend upon his/her heredity as well as STH secretion and so many other physiological things. \nAll those products available in market (like height increasing shoes etc.) to increase height doesn’t work basically. And some of these have its adverse effect also. And also height growing medicines are bad. Later on it might show its bad side effects and hormonal disorder.\nThe best way to increase height is to\n1.Exercise regularly and in proper way.\n2.Go to some good exercise center where well trained and properly educated trainers are available.\n3.Consult to your doctor.\n4.Have healthy foods.

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.

from your avatar I assume you are a female. What you didnt say was how old you are.   If you are 12 or older consider your self done growing unless you grow sideways from eating to much. In other words you wont get any taller and your feet wont get any bigger either. Picture yourself like  the frame of a house that is built. The only thing now is to fill it in.  And from 12 to 14 is when this filling in takes place and the hips will shape and so on. \nBoys dont finish building thier frames until they are 16 and some not untill 18 and then they fill them in. No matter what size you are  be it large or small be happy with it because it is yours and noone else in the world can have it which makes it special and makes you special. Take care of it and it will take care of you.

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!

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.

Your 13? Trust me you'll still be growing. It would be different if you were like 15. Heres a tip as soon as you sense your body getting tired go to sleep. My brother didnt and I am taller than him. I went to sleep when my body wanted to.
