Don't worry about it, just think there are people smaller than you are, there are people fat, slim, tall, short, deaf, blind you name it, and they all live a happy life, there is no other way, don't even think about it.. ☺

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?"

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

You are lucky you're 5'9" with parents that tall.  They must love you alot. Studies show that children who are nurtured while growing can grow taller.  Hug your parents and drink milk, stay away from caffeine.

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

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!

height is genetic, beyond radical surgery there is no way to increase height

You can't... height is basically genetic.  The fads out there that suggest that you can become taller or shorter through product or excersize are mainly myth.

Sure you can get taller. Swimming usually makes your shoulders broad though. Try swimming for about 3 times a week. surely NOT everyday or you'll get sore from all the exercise.  Basketball or anything JUMPY will help you grow taller.

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!

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.

All else being equal, you can't get any taller than your genes dictate.  I'm not tall,  5'9", and have always wished I could get at least to that magical 6 foot tall barrier.  You can make sure that you get to the tallest that your genes will allow by staying healthy, eating properly, getting plenty of rest, etc.\n\n"The height of the person is influenced by many factors, like good nutrition, onset and end of puberty and, most importantly, by the genetic predisposition. Most people by the time they are 19 have stopped growing and reached their final height. By that age growth epiphyses (the areas of the bones in your arms and legs that grow) have closed and the bone cannot get any longer. Unfortunately, once that happened, there is not much you can do to become taller.  \n\nIf you have seen advertisements for products that promise to make you taller, beware, there are no pills or devices that can increase your height.  Try to remember that height is only on aspect of who you are and that you have many qualities that you can control, like how you are as a friend, how hard you work and how you treat other people."

You are currently still on the good period of increasing height. The best things you should do to achieve the maximum potential height you could have are as follows:\n>>Eat a good balanced diet with good quality protein sources, and adequate calcium level. \n>>Have enough sleep as the growth hormones are released during sleeping. That means never compromise your hours of sleeping in this critical period of "growing up".\n>>Adequate exercise are recommended, If  you are already active in any sports then there is nothing more you should do.\n>> Be psychologically and emotionally good as these could affect your growth as well.\n>>Avoid smoking and stay away from any sort of pollution as they can affect the activities of growth hormone.\n\nThose are the natural methods you can do, so help yourself.♥

get some high heeled shoes or a box because if youve past puberty then you wont grow anymore its all down to genetics.this question has been asked so many times.All with the same answer.Its all down to how tall your parents were.

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

If you're 17 years old, then you might still grow, just wait. There is nothing you can do to make yourself taller.

Eat lots of protein, drink lots of milk, exercise and most importantly: WAIT.\n\nOh, and it helps a LOT if you have tall parents.
