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!

All else being equal, you can't get any taller than your genes dictate.  I'm not tall,  5'9", and have always wished I could get at least to that magical 6 foot tall barrier.  You can make sure that you get to the tallest that your genes will allow by staying healthy, eating properly, getting plenty of rest, etc.\n\n"The height of the person is influenced by many factors, like good nutrition, onset and end of puberty and, most importantly, by the genetic predisposition. Most people by the time they are 19 have stopped growing and reached their final height. By that age growth epiphyses (the areas of the bones in your arms and legs that grow) have closed and the bone cannot get any longer. Unfortunately, once that happened, there is not much you can do to become taller.  \n\nIf you have seen advertisements for products that promise to make you taller, beware, there are no pills or devices that can increase your height.  Try to remember that height is only on aspect of who you are and that you have many qualities that you can control, like how you are as a friend, how hard you work and how you treat other people."

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

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

meats and nuts.  You only want to eat lots of protein when your building muscle.  Otherwise just keep a small amount in your daily diet

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.

Iono about few weeks.. but if u have a few years to live and grow taller i suddgest eating right and exercising... he's my to cents:\ngenetics determine how tall you will be. \n\nIn order for one to reach their genetic potential height, the body needs a certain amount of nourishment. This includes a balanced eating of vitamins that encourage growth proper exercising and adequate sleep. \n\nUnderstand your body grows when it is at rest. Thats the optimal time when the body can restore the adequate balance of amino acids and minerals that encourage growth. \n\nThese are a few things you can to optimize your growth potential but ultimately genetics will determine how tall you are. \n\nTo prevent typing it all out right here, just check my source for the list of things you can do to optimize your growth...\n\nYou could also try \nwww.heightmax.com\nthey have non-perscribed supplements

You can't. But eating Healthy and staying hit helps you attain your full natural hight. You'll only grow so much and you can't do anything about it.\nThough I have heard of a sergery that can do something to make you taller, but I don't know much about it.\n\nBe thankful for the height you have, somepeople are extremely short...for lack of a politer way to say it.

Well you will need to find a good source of protein and eat lots of it. Something like soy or tofu..certain beans, lentils, and you have to eat lots of other stuff too in order to get all the nutrients you need. It's much easier to just take a vitamin supplement. But the protein you have to actually eat, supplements suck.

Diet is very important. As stated before, lots of protein. Try to eat 1-1/2 grams per pound of body weight. Also, make sure you eat good carbs and good fat. The carbs will fuel your body, and the fat helps you produce hormones needed for muscle growth.\n\nOn top of this, of course, is exercise. Lift heavy weights. You need to overload the muscle to promote growth. Also, get plenty of rest, and drink lots of water.

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.

Height controlled by genes.  Just feed healthy foods and check with pediatrician about vitamins.

Your height is genetically determined. You cannot do anything to make yourself grow any taller than your genes say you will. \n\nSevere cases of malnutrition can cause you to not reach your full heigh potential. Even with bullimia, that's unlikely to happen. You certainly should eat properly and get proper, complete nutrition. But no, calcium won't make you grown taller and neither will any other particular nutrient. You just have to stay healthy so you'll reach your normal height. That's all you can do.

To grow taller, if there is no underlying medical condition, you essentially just need good nutrition.  There is nothing that will make you taller then what you where genetically determined to be, though poor nutrition can make you shorter than genetically expected\n\nWomen stop around 14 years of age, boys at 16 - but there are people who have delayed closure of their growth plates and a bone age xray can determine this and see if extra growth potential is there.
