I am 19 male and I'm 5 ft 5.5 ich tall....is there any possibility of my height increasing by an inch or two?

I think it's possible to grow until you're 25 but don't sweat your height.

Yes, most likely you will be tall.  My husband was 5' 10" and 123 pounds when he entered the Navy at 17 years of age.  When he got out 4 years later he was 6' 4" and 200 pounds.  Men continue growing until they are about 24 years old.  So, sit back and relax.  You will most likely grow into your feet.  My brother is the same as you.  He is 23 years old and 6' 2", still acting like a 13 year old.  Good luck with the feet, and the rest of your life.

Yes you will most likely have another growth spurt. Since the average man is 5'10 and about 175 i would say your on pace to be well above average. Many men who are above average tend to also tend to grow longer as well. It is not uncommon for men to continue growing into their early 20's. My coworkers son is having the opposite problem....he can't stop growing. He is now 11 and is 6'7 with size 17 shoes! There trying everythin to stop him from growing cause they say he hasn't even hit his natural growth spurt yet. They say he's looking at close to 8 feet if they can't get this under control. Your doing fine, eat well and exercise and you'll be very healthy.

You probably won't grow any taller, but so what?\n\nIf you're worried about your luck with the ladies, there is hope.  There are many ladies 5'6" or shorter.  And often they're cuties!\n\nTo get a lady, work that personality!  Make her laugh, listen to what she has to say.  And don't act like an insecure jerk because of your height. She won't care about it if she finds you likeable.

Sorry, I can't give you any recommendations to increase your height.  The bones of your skeleton determine your height, and you can't really make them grow any more than they want.  Good news, you still may grow another inch or so in the next few years.  I grew and inch in my freshman year of college to 5'1-1/2"!  My sister grew and inch at the same time, so now she's an even 5 foot! I recommend to come to terms with your "height deficit", take all the short jokes in stride,  and take advantage of tall people over the coming years by making them get things for you that are out of your reach.  And invest in a step stool.  When you get older and move out, you may have to get your own things out of a tall cupboard every now and then.\n\nI've read in magazines every now and then there are ways to dress to make you "appear taller", and you can wear tall shoes sometimes, but unless you are a billionaire that can afford radical surgery/treatment options, love the body your in.  It's the only one you've got.

Don't be concerned about "average."  Your size is determined by genetics.  There's nothing you can do to increase (or diminish) it.

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

You might not ever be taller, but then again, who knows?\n\nYour ability to grow taller usually ends when you're between 21 and 25 years of age.  Most of this isn't something you can have much control over.\n\nI would learn to accept and love your body as God gave it to you.  My husband is 5ft 6 inches, and I love every bit of him.

I'd be willing to bet that you'll grow about three more inches. That will take you to 5'7". YOu can always have your parent(s) take you to a doctor. They can do a measurement of certain bones and give you a good prediction. But remember, it's not just vitamins, it's protein and fat that makes you tall. There was a study that found that vegetarians (from infancy) don't get as tall as those who eat animal proteins. But they are still healthy and can be quite athletic. \n\nJust wanted to add, I'm pretty tall for a woman, but I was not just attracted to tall men but also men who were shorter than me who had a strong physical presence and confidence that made up for their stature.

Some men continue to grow in their twenties, but it's usually the ones who are already over 6 feet.  It's not likely that you will grow any taller without some kind of medical procedure to "stretch" your bones.

You are getting taller and nothing to worry about. l've heard that females stop growing when they reach 23. l'm not sure if its true. You are probably in good health that's why you're adding inches.

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.

Naani M, quit this!\n\nYou are 5ft tall, and that's it. That's how you were designed to be so that you can be the person that you are.\n\nOK -- if you really want to be a BIT taller, you can get a thing called an instep which goes into your shoe that raises you about 2-3 cm. Combined with that, you can have thick soles, with a thick heel hammered onto the bottom of your shoe. That will increase your height by another 3-4 cms. Just make sure that the instep and the thick sole are done for you after consultation with a podiatrist or an orthopedic surgeon because you can really hurt your muscles and jolt the bones in your feet if you get some cobbler-on-the-corner to make these for you.\n\nAlso, you can investigate getting a hairstyle that raises your coiffure: simply "teasing" the hair with a comb to puff up the hair helps. But then, I guess you are a south-east Asian, and it's very difficult to "fluff up" that beautiful, straight black hair your people have. \n\nNext -- be very careful of your diet. Always keep thin. There is NOTHING as short as a FAT guy. Keep ultra thin, and wear clothes (especially formal shirts with collars) that have stripes that go up and down. DON'T wear stripes or patterns that go from side to side! That makes you look shorter.\n\nBut what is this all going to do? It's going to make you LOOK taller, but that's not the point. You ARE short! So what the hell? Julius Caesar was short. Napoleon Buonaparte was short. But they ruled the world, man!\n\nSo can you!\n\nGet real, Naani. Stop this obsession with being tall! It's not worth it. For every person out there who calls you "Shorty" (or whatever they call short guys in your country) there are 10 who notice, but don't care. And another 10 don't even notice.\n\nSo ignore the ONE rude guy in your life, and rejoice with the other 20 that think you're great! \n\nPeople will love you, NOT because of how tall or how short you are, but because of WHO you are. Are you an honest person? Are you sincere? Can we trust you? Do you care about us? Are you a good lecturer? Do you treat your students with sincerity? Do you find something in EACH of them that makes you love them for who they are? Are you looking after their interests? Are you looking after your career? Are you trying to be the best qualified person in your field?\n\nStop bellyaching about how high your is a$$ is off the ground! Worry about how high you stand in the opinion of others! THAT'S what counts in life, babe.

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.

I suppose you mean 57 inches. That's not really too short for 16 years. You are most likely still growing. When I was at school there was a guy who was a good twelve inches shorter than me. When I met him at our ten year reunion he was as tall as me, and I'm about 6 foot 2. It was funny because he had to tell me who he was. I didn't recognise him at all.

you have your last growth spurt when your 18. so unless your past that age i would just leave it up to time but you can go to your doctor and ask about a vitaman that will increase your height

There is NO way to know.  If you are very young, then chill out.  You will have stopped growing (since I guess you are a girl?) by the time you are 20.  Sure, there is a good chance that you will be at least 5'8"--maybe taller.  But you also may be shorter.  No way to know till you are 20.  And there is nothing that you can do to make yourself taller or get to your predetermind height any faster.  IF you have a growth hormone problem, they can put you on that to help you---but ONLY if your natural hormone level is too low.  They don't give it to everyone.\n\nThere are no drugs, vitamins, supplements, exercises, devices...nothing that will make you taller.
