growth
I'm 13, and I am 5`1. Is there any ways I can grow taller? I heard that after you get your period, you stop growing, but i want to keep growing, because I got mine at an early age (9). My mom said that Yoga will add PLENTY of inches (maybe up to 5`6) , but is there another way that I can get taller? Thanks.

Cut back on caffeine. It stunts growth.
No more pop! No more coffee! No more tea!
Lots of milk!
Also I know girls who grew up to 5 inches AFTER getting their period. My friend had stopped growing, got her period, and grew!

Comments to some of the answers, even if your parents are skyscrapers, you could still be short. Everyone in my family is over 5'9", but my sister is only 5'1" or 5'2". What about your parents' parents, are they short?
And yeah, Yoga REALLY helps. As does milk, and try some walking/running/jogging. I can't garuntee it will work, but it does for some people.

You're 13 and you will still grow, if your parents are pretty short or you have like a family history of short hieghted people than you can't do anything because it's generic. If you're still not sure, try the yoga thing or see a doctor and ask.

Girls stop growing about two years after they start to menstruate, so I'm sorry to say you're out of luck.

Coming from somebody who has been 5'1 for about 6 years, I have to say, I'm sorry, but you may just be somebody genetics has selected will be short. It honestly doesn't matter, unless you desperately want to enter a profession which has a height requirement (such as in the fire brigade or police). Nothing will make you grow if your body isn't meant to be tall, although if you are still growing (which is likely... most people grow a little until they are about 16-18) it's always a good idea to stick to a sensible diet with sensible amounts of all of the food groups (including carbs) and a moderate exercise regime. <br>
Yoga will improve your flexibility and posture, which will possibly make you stand taller and so look taller, but it won't actually change your height.

Well that whole period thing isn't necessarily true, I grew like 3 inches after I got my period... but if you don't I know there's a surgery for it, but it hurts like hell, I definitely wouldn't reccommend it, my grandpa has it because his leg is messed up... but yeah its really painful... I don't think there is any other way to get taller though, being short has it's benefits :-)

you definitely dont stop growing at thirteen. dont worry too much about it. you have up until youre abouy 18 to stop growing. periods dont effect growth too much

well i've heard drinking lots of milk can help u grow. i dunno about the yoga thing tho. maybe u can look up about the milk tho. good luck! im short too! lol

there are like hormons you can take, but you'd have to be really tiny, and your doctor would have to give you the perscription. Yoga eh, i never heard that one before. heels are always nice too . . .

There is a way but its painful and you need to be a midget..lol You just have to wait I guess, if you dont wanna wait try Yoga since your mom says it works (fun stuff)
