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 can't really do much about height, except for maybe growth hormones or something

Nope. It's a myth. In fact, regular exercise during one's growing years actually promotes the production of growth hormones. Height is predominantly decided by your genes. Pullups are the best bet to do what little you can to increase your height. Or if thats too difficult, simply hang from a bar.

You don't need any medication or drugs to take to increase \nyour height. You're a 16 year old boy whose body is still growing.\nHowever, to speed up your growth in height normally, you can\ndo the following daily:-\n1. Regular exercise involving jumping high-up, body stretching,\n    rope skipping and horizontal bar chin-up for 2 hours.\n2. Drink lots of water and eat lots of fruits and vegetables too;\n3. Don't smoke of any kind whatsoever;\n4. Don't masturbate because it saps off your energy which is\n    needed for your daily exercises.\nIf you do well, I can assure you that you'll go taller by at least\n3-4 inches without much worry when you're 18 years old.

please don't take growth suppliments. you are what you are. being taller wont make your life better. Try doing things that make you a better you on the inside.

You are more likely to get taller by eating more calcium, since your height is dependent upon how large your bones are, and protein is more about muscles.  \n\nHonestly, though, I don't think there is anything that will help you get taller in a month.  Your genes and the amount of calcium you have had to date in your life would play a big role in your overall height, but there is no way to naturally stimulate your growth like that.

You can't really control your height because your genes determine how tall you will be and you can't change your genes. But if you want to stay in shape and be healthy, you have to exercise and any type of exercise will be ok. I heard that playing basketball can make you grow taller. I don't know if that is true. But you can try it and see.

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.

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!

It is too early in your development to know how tall you will be when you are done growing. I wouldn't get involved in any outlandish schemes to get taller. You are growing so slow that you may feel you are getting shorter. Bodies grow at different rates. You may see others in a growth spurt that makes it seem like you are getting shorter but getting shorter rarely happens. Your body is just gathering up energy and resources to start it's next spurt.\n\nI hear astronauts grow or get longer while floating in space for long periods. Do you have hours upon end to hang suspended upside down to get taller? That would be silly!\n\nBe patient. Then be satisfied with your height. You are by no means freakishly short at 5' 2'!\n\nEverybody sing together, "Five Foot Two, Eyes of Blue -- Oh what those five feet can do! Has anybody seen my GAL?"

No you don't grow taller while you sleep, that's a myth.  During the day gravity naturally compresses the cartilage between your vertebrea.  Your height will not flucuate any more then the rest of the populations.  You are probably just a late bloomer, and will hit your growth spurt in the next few years.  Happened to my friend.  He was short all through high school then once he graduated, BAM!  Shot up like a weed.  That's when it counts anyhow.  Most people don't stay with their high school sweethearts.  Besides, some girls like short guys.

There are no stretches to increase height.\n\nTo increase height, your bones have to get longer.\n\nStretching deals with muscles not bones. \n\nYour height is determined by your genes. There is nothing you can do to change that. Put your energy somewhere else.

Why are you in a hurry? You still growing. Each person grows differently. Before you know it, you'll be a couple inches taller.
