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

ok its hard because is not that you can do something in order to increase your height because its in your genes, however i know that when the people practice basketball they achieve some centimeters. maybe you should try also swimming

Your height will grow until 24-25 years of age. Regular brisk running for half an hour or Surya Namaskar can contribute a little. \n\nYour height may otherwise increase by 2-3 inch with age. People should not have the belief that any exercise or medication can increase human height.

One more time for those in the back of the room:\nHEIGHT IS GOVERNED BY GENETICS.  YOU CANNOT 'MAKE' YOURSELF TALLER!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

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.

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.

To be sure you could go to a growth specialist, but my guess is that you will grow to be at least on the shorter end of average. Don't expect to be NBA tall, but also don't worry so much about your height, you are many years before your growth stops.

You cannot make yourself grow faster nor can you make yourself grow taller than you are genetically programmed to grow it is all down to your genes

rumor has it that one of the tall basketball players (micheal jordan maybe? i forget)used to drink lots of milk and sleep in a completely dark room in order to get taller. the milk helps the bones grow and the dark helps with some sort of growth sensor in the brain. also- you are taller in the morning when you get out of bed than at night before you go to bed. this is because gravity has been working against your body all day and has actually made you shorter. so if you have a few years to spare, lay around in bed alot!

This depends on a lot of factors, like genetics.  So, there's really no way for me to predict this.\n\nHowever, my grandson grew 2-3 inches in height between the ages of 18 and 20 - so I do know it is possible in some cases.\n\nWhy do you want to be taller?  In my family that's tall - I'm only 4'10" and my sisters are 4'11" and 5'0".  Not everyone has to be tall.

You can't gain height like that.\nIt's genetics and enviroment together.\nIf you're smoking, drugs etc stop it. Eat a lot of foods full with calcium and hope for the best.\nIf your mom and dad are short or at your height.. Most chances you'll stay at the same height.\nIf you're in the end of your puberty you wont grow much. You can go and take a Xray of your bones, they can tell you what "age" are your bones, this way you can see if your bones have rached their full potential or not.\nTake care.

cut down on junk food. just bike everyday for about 15 minutes. you cant make yourself grow tall. no food can make you grow taller than you are supposed to. but as long as your are not starving you will grow to full height.
