What are you talking about? You're 5'9 and you are only 14. There's nothing you can do, you grow naturally, you can't control that. I'm 18 and 6"1 (if there was a way I'd know).  Man you''ve got a lot of growing left ( Men don't stop growing until 21, women 18).  Since you're already so tall, in a couple of years you may be 6"7 and up range.

You'll only 14, give your body some time to grow still. Even if you stay that short, think of the benefits, you don't have to find pants that are long enough. (I'm 5'10", and my legs are super long, i can never find pants that are long enough) But there are benefits to being short.

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

Sorry but I think we stop growing around age 17 or 18, taller that is. Being small isnt so bad. Try accepting you height cause you are gonna have it for a long time.

You might not grow anymore. You might grow another 6 inches. Really, I can't tell you. Typically people stop growing in their late teenage years.

Honey,\nI am 5'10 and have been since I was your age. you are not tall for your age and, as a girl, you probably won't grow to be that much taller. Boys have a growth spurt in their mid teens but girls usually top out at 13-15.\n\nIt was not my intention to insult you.  I do apologize if I did.  I was simply relating to you my own personal experience.  Isn't that what this forum is for?  I do resent your reactions and choice of words however am able to forgive them as you are 12 years old.  Best of luck to you as grow older.

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

When you force your soft bones with weight lifting they are forced to accelerate the calcification process and as a result you won't grow as tall as you were genetically destined to be. It's supposed for men to grow until you reach 21 years old. You would be loosing a good part of those 10 years of growth.

I'm SURE that you're not finished growing (especially since you havent had your period yet) - I even grew a bit when I was 20 yrs old!!  But people do grow at differnt rates.  My friend used to be alot taller than me when we were young and until we were about 15 yrs old, then she seemed to stop (but she smoked cigarettes since she was like 13, which stunts or slows your growth), while I still grew and now ( i'm in my 20s) were about the same height.  I also know that stretches and running alot might help (my sis ran track in high school and grew like 6 inches from age 15-22, it was weird, cause nobody in my family is tall, she was so short then after a while of track kept growing, and I heard of other people who that seemed to happen to also).  So what you want to do is make sure u eat healthy, thats very important, maybe run (either outside or if not, a treadmill, do warmup stretches first before the run)- and don't smoke cigarettes or anything because that only stops growth.  Hope that helps some.

You didn't mention if you are big boned, or if you are shorter than average. Also there is a condition known as "Dimorphism" ? sp that can cause the limbs of a person to be undersized in comparison to the rest of the body, usually it affects both the arms and legs but it can affect only the legs or the arms. In any case You will probably keep growing for a couple more years and then wonder what you were worrying about. Just keep eating healthy foods and exercise as you have been doing...My daughter had a similar experience at 14 she stood 5' 4" and then between 15 and 16 she grew to 5' 11" her weight only went up 5 pounds in the same time frame...so it happens to a lot of people.

You still have time. I beleive humans reach their max height at 18. I would be sure to cut back on sugars and caffeine as they are thought to stunt growth.

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.

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.

if you're in your teens or early 20s, there are dietary supplements that claim they can help you grow. My son has been taking http://www.heightmax.com/index.htm... for a couple months and he has grown after being 5' 5" for well over a year. Whether or not he would have started growing again at this point in time (he's about to turn 15) no one can say; but it's mostly vitamins and he's had no side effects, so we'll keep using it.
