5 feet four inches is actually a very average height for a woman.  You may just have a lot of tall friends, or it may be the fact that you are thirteen and at a very selfconscious age.  I bet a lot of your tall friends feel like oversized amazons and envy their more petite friends like you.\n\nAnyway, enough with the psychology.  You probably have at least a few more inches waiting for you at some point in the next 6-7 years.  Try and keep yourself at a healthy weight (not too thin... malnourishment will keep you from reaching your maximum height), and eat a nutritious diet.  Skim milk is just fine, in terms of its calcium.

I'm also fifteen and short. I'm 4'11" and was once your size awhile ago. All I did was take vitamins and ate a lil' healthier and I grew. I wish you all the luck in growing and I don't mean that in a saracastic way. I know what it feels like to be short. I'm still praying for that last inch to be five foot. I'm given hell about being short alll the time. So I feel your pain. Good luck and the worst it could be is you've stopped growing.

I had quite a growth spurt when I was young, and I was 5'6 by the time I was in 6th grade. I stayed that height for a long time and then was 5'8 by the time I was 17 years old. Nothing more after that.

You will continue to grow...boys grow up to the age of 21.\n\nYou might want to go here, enter the required info and receive an estimate of how tall you will get to be.  Remember, it is only an estimate!\nhttp://www.keepkidshealthy.com/welcome/htcalculator.html

I do think you are tall.I'm not sure if you will keep growing but I do know one of my male cousins stayed at 5'8" until he was 18-20 when he grew a few more inches to 6'.

You are about the age when girls stop growing, unless a miracle happens you will most likely remain the height you are now. Sorry.

How tall are your parents?  That is a indicator of your height if they are both tall or if they are both short.  Do you have siblings or Cousins?  At what age did they shoot up in height?  When I was 14, I was 5'7".  Most of my classmates were up to a year or more older than I.  I was tied for tallest girl in the class and there was only 1 boy who was taller than us.  Most of them were a whole lot shorter than me.  I thought I would never find someone that would be tall enough for me.  Guess what, the boys grew up(at least in height).  Do you know what else?  The Girls Grew up?\n\nSo if most of the girls were not at their full height at 14/15 and then they grew taller.  Who knows at this point how tall you will be.  \n\nDon't smoke - it stunts your health.\n\nDevelop a tall personality.  By being kind and thinking of others, people will Look Up to You regardless of your height.\n\nMake friends with some Taller kids so that you have a protection when you need it. (I'm Kidding, but a little serious)\n\nStand up straight with your shoulders back and down.  Keep your head over your shoulders.  If you carry a heavy backpack watch for leaning forward to compensate the weight.  This could make you look shorter and feel shorter and it is bad for your back.  Why have all of that weight holding you down.  If you can get a backpack that rolls so you won't be putting all of that downward pressure on your spine.  \n\nSmile and enjoy your life.  Whether you grow taller or not.  A tall person hanging their head in shame does not look tall.  A shorter person with a Clear Conscience can have a Twinkle in their Eyes and a Smile on their Face.  Be the best 4'11" Girl you can be this year.\nNext year maybe your arms and legs will be inches longer and you'll have to adjust to walking again.\n\nStand Tall,  God Bless You,  ;-)\n\nPs: I am still 5'7"  I was just finished early.

The first and most important thing here is: don't worry.  You're going to end up being who you are--short or otherwise.  There's nothing you can do about it, so just try and accept it.\n\nNext, you may yet experience a "growth spurt", a period in your development when you can see your height increase substantially.\n\nI've heard many young women talk about how much they changed physically from their teen years.  It's a possibility for you too, I would guess.

There is no way to increase your height. Just have to deal with how your body grows. But, you can practise standing, sitting, and walking straight up. It won't make you taller, but it'll be good for posture.

I don't think it is the cause of sudden increase in height. Maybe it is the cause of being sit for too long . And the posture of sitting is not good .I have this symptom when I sit for a long time. So I used to walk around and do some stretching by hands up and down . It helps and hope it helps you too.

at 16 1/2 i was 5'9'.  when i finished growing, at about age 20, i was 6'4".\ndon't worry!  if you're 16 1/2, you have PLENTY of time for your body to grow taller.  many men have a sudden growth spurt during the years 16-19.\nbest of luck!

U will definately grow  taller coz at 16 u r still young. Males continue to grow even a little later than girls. They used to tell me that girls stop growing at 18 but at 18 i was really short and worried, then a few years later, i grew tallr now am 24 n 5'6, though that is short, am happy coz i was much shorter than that at 18!! now people who see me later say av grow, so U will definately grow much more!!!!!!!!!!

I don't know about taller but I do know about gaining weight. It's really easy go to www.differentu.com and look for nutritional shakes and all you do is take one with every meal you eat and you will gain weight! simple. You can add things you love like fruit, ice, yogart, etc.  So check it out and see what you think. God bless you and I wish you the best!!

One does not reach his full height until he/she is about 21 years of age.\n\nImproving one's posture and learning to stand up straight, sit properly, walk properly with an erect stature can increase one's height.\n\nIntense exercise when young can bolster one's height, as the muscles support bones.\n\nI joined the Army when I was 20, and grew 1/2 an inch in height.  I think it was from learning to stand up straight.\n\nOne other way to grow taller:  lifts in shoes.

Your height is predetermined by your genetic makeup.  There is nothing you can do to increase it.
