I think you will be alright.  You might talk to a Dr. about it, but I think you pretty much are stuck with whatever nature gives you.  \nI know there are orthopedic surgery solutions to being a dwarf, but I don't believe anyone having surgery like that could ever play basketball.  Besides at your height, no decent Dr. would operate on your legs anyway!\nBut do not despair!  When I got my learner's permit at age 16, I was 6 foot 1 inch.  By age 18 years, I was 6 foot 3 inches.  I grew 2 inches between ages 16 and 18.  AND you are two years younger than that!\nI think it will be close, but you might not make it.  Take up Baseball as well, just in case.  Fast athletes are in demand in that sport as well.

Sorry there’s nothing to do now.\nThe development begins with the birth and reached its apex during the adolescence time.\nDuring that time, physicians can intervene with some specific drugs (hormones) with a fairly possibility to increase a bit the height. During that time, some specific sports (swimming, volley, etc.) can help too.  \nNow your skeleton and bones have already reached their max length and fixed definitively.  \nOnly a miracle could satisfy you!

ok here me out, 48 ?! no, in 48 days you cannot grow a bit taller, you can try, by playing basket ball jumping high and holding on to the rim a while, b4 letting go, but then again, that may only stretch your arms out. hehe, no, not likely.  To grow taller, i only suggest higher shoes. Other than that, you would need to go on a very strict diet, of healthy stuff, NO JUNK FOOD, no rice unless its brown, and no bread unless it's wheat. Anything you feel like eating that you know has grease like French Fries, eat carrots and celery instead. Did you know that Celery actually burns calories while you eat it! To strengthen forearms and shoulder, I would suggest doing push ups, pulls ups, and weight lifting, i know you dont want to do that, but use the little weights on one arm and then switch or do them together, but dont do too  much or too little where there is no effect, maybe 5 minutes on each arm, start out with 2 minutes then go up 2 every 3 days, til you get used to it, along with the push ups and pull ups.  You must also do Cardio to work out your entire body, such as running, or the elliptical, bicycling, I would start with an hour a day work out, then after a week  go to an hour and a half. Make sure you Stretch b4 and after these excersises. you can do 15 minutes of stretching b4 and after, as your excersises increase add an extra 5 minutes of stretching b4 and after.  Hope this helps... Good Luck! \n\nP.S. If you are sore the next day, the best thing is NOT to quit, to work out again, it will help you not be as sore. :)

Well, really not much.  How old are you?  If you're still growing, eating well and drinking plenty of milk might help.  Genes play a HUGE part though, so it won't do much.\n\nIf you're not really growing anymore... there's nothing you can do, except maybe insert wedges in the soles of your shoes.

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.

there is nothing you can do to get taller , being only 13 your body is not finished maturing and depending  on your family genetics whether they are tall or short will determine your muscular structure.

You could ask your doctor, but I think it all depends on heredity (your genes).  \n\nA simple trick to appearing taller:  stand and sit up straight.  If you slouch, you will look shorter.

First we are geneticically predisposed to be a certain height and only when we deprive our bodies of needed nutrition do we change that by maybe stunting our growth. So, you may take back after any relative, mostly it will go back to the grandparents. So, no amount of food will make you grow taller. You do need to eat healthy and get the nutrition you need to grow to your maximum height. So, be patient. Yes, people can have a spurt at age 16. Girls are growing until 18-2,  sometimes. Boys usually grow fastest at an earlier age than girls do. But, 11 in. is a lot. So, hang in there and be happy with what and who you are. You are beautiful just the way you are. God designed you to be who you are, an individual, with no one else who is like you. Isn't that amazing? Love coming your way. Prayers that you will grow and will love yourself no matter what.

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.

You are tall, man. I am 5'11 and I'm 20. When I was ur age I was 5'5. I think you will be about 6'4 when you reach 18, but that does not mean you'll stop growing people grow until they are 25. I grew one inch taller this year.

well people grow taller till the ends of the long bones keep growing ...once they are fused no gain in height is usually possible. If you feel that your growth is not proper do get an appointment with an endocrinologist who deals with problems of growth...however i think your height is sufficient ti leading a normal and fruitful life...so why worry there is more to life then just being tall!!
