height is determined by genetics...your gonna be as tall as was determined when your mom's egg met your father's sperm...are your parents short? I saw a special on TLC were they said that only 1% of the population is over 6'1"... seems kind of hard to believe...huh?\n there is a surgery where they screw some extra leg bone to your own...Ive heard that it is painful\nI'm only 4'11" and I'm 26...I've been this height ever since i was 12...that is the last time i grew...i don't smoke or drink a lot of caffeine...so obviously it was genetics!\nyour fine just the way you are!\nGood luck...hope you grow some more...you still have a few years

human body grows till the age of 23 which is a madically proven thing. if u want to increase your height then hang from some rod or ceiling by grabing it with your both hands so that you hold the weight of your body through both your arms.(not with one arm/hand). stay hanging for 5 minutes, rest for a minute and repeat again for 5 min. then again rest for 1 minute and then hang for another 5 minutes but this time also do some pull ups of your body.\nrepeat this 5 times a week for 3-4 months and you will feel some change in your height. \ni got myself streched from 5.4 to 5.7 :D\n\nremember do not take any pills, if someone claims that you can increase your height by using their pills then he/she is a lier.

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

usually men do not stop growing until they are about 21 but you also have to take into account, did you use any corticosteroids for breathing problems, add medications when younger, did you eat all your vegetables?, Healthy eating/living is always your best bet of reaching maximum growth. do not just think milk will make you grow, there are a lot healthy ways to get calcium and other essential vitamins and minerals like vegetables and natural/ nature resources

Your weight is fine and suited to your height.  You shouldn't diet while your body is still growing.  That doesn't mean however that you can't include more fruits and vegetables into your diet.\nYou can also take up things like swimming or power walking which are easy on the joints but help build strong bones.\nDon't stress over your weight because it's REALLY not worth it-- particularly when you are IN a normal weight range.

Well, Thin is sometimes ok, but too much is bad.  If you are very skinny, i suggess a glass of milk at night and morning. Like one of the other people said.  But, make sure you also include neutrients like from fruits.  They help a lot too.  If you are a little short, and you want to grow more, (only for girls) Before your period comes, try your best to jump more after drinking a little milk.  To also get taller, you might try doing basketball and soccer, these involve many movements.

R J   how  old are you?  first of all. Your  parents  genes  play  a part  HOW tall  you will be. But  eating  correctly  plays  a  part  also. Remember  your  food  groups  when  selecting  foods. Stay  a way  From  lots  of  junk  foods. Take  1 a day multi vitamin  that's   a  great  one.  Drink  8   glasses  of  water  a day.Exercise  daily. and leave the  rest  to  G-d. 5-6  is  a  good  height. my  mother  grew till  21  years  old. p.s.  get  plenty  of  rest, your  body  grows  while  u sleep. Do not over take or  over do the  vitimans  or potassium  that  can  be  harmful too  and  make  you  ill.

Of course not. In fact, it would enhance growth. Exercise (like weight lifting) in addition to a healthy diet will help you to grow.

the best advice that I can give you is to get plenty of sleep,eat right and exercise.your body will do the rest.but truly some people stop growing before they are 20 unless it runs in your family to have a growth spurt at a later age.good luck to you

There are several issues involved with this situation.\n\n#1 Genetics\n\n#2 Nutrition\n\nThere is nothing you can do about the genetics aspect of your growth.  What will happen will happen regardless of what you do, you will never go PAST that predetermined height.\n\nHowever, Nutrition can OPTIMIZE that growth, allow your body to have the best building blocks to achieve the maximum height you can reach.\n\nYou need to give it the best fuel possible to do this which includes a very well-rounded diet of protein, vegetables, fruit and carbohydrates.  \n\nEating whole grains more than processed foods (like wheat bread (REAL wheat bread) not white, brown rice not white, etc).  Lots of nuts, legumes and dried fruit for snacks and not candy.  \n\nDitch the soft drinks for water.  Juice is okay, but water with a piece of fruit is better.  You get the good-stuff fiber and nutrients from the fruit and not the squeezed out sugar-enriched juices then.\n\nFor cereals, eat whole grains, cooked oatmeal (not instant), etc.\n\n\nThis sounds very simple, but archaeologists have found that nutrition has been a very important part of height and growth of ancient peoples.\n\nIt is still an issue today.\n\nSo, to recap, no junk food (pizza, sodas, etc) eat fruit and raw veggies for snacking.  Lots of water and milk.  Cheese is also good snacking food, nuts, that sort of thing.

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.

if you're in your teens or early 20s, there are dietary supplements that claim they can help you grow.  My son has been taking http://www.heightmax.com/index.htm for a couple months and he has grown after being 5' 5" for well over a year.  Whether or not he would have started growing again at this point in time (he's about to turn 15) no one can say; but it's mostly vitamins and he's had no side effects, so we'll keep using it.

OK, long answer. One, there is no diet and exercise that will make you taller. period. Two. If you are that self confident, you can go to your doctor and ask for human growth hormone, which is injected into you six times a month (approximately) and you will gain maybe an inch or two. - it also comes with a boatload of side effects and risks attached- Three. there is a procedure that surgeons can do, it involves breaking your legs and attaching screws into them that every day you have to turn and keep re breaking your legs over and over so that the bones will fill in the gaps. It's a costly procedure and very painful and you only get about one or two inches and there is the risk of infection. I think you need to learn to be happy with what you've got. You can try and seek psychological help for your problem but really, in the long run it's not the height that counts, it's the person and hopefully you come to see that.

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.

Yes if you eat protein, it can help you grow muscles. To grow taller if you are still growing, eat lots of different foods.
