My 21 year old son is the tallest in our family. He's 6'4" and grew a couple of more inches since age 18.
I contribute this to all the milk that he drank as a child and a teenager. I think it's the growth hormones that they feed to the cows!
orphans answered Friday August 4 2006, 3:14 am: Bahhh don't listen to the people that are saying you already finished growing. I don't know how you can get taller but guys don't stop growing until 21 or 22--ask your doctor. My cousin was 5'7 his senior year of high school and now he's 6'0. Just hang in there. Calcium makes your bones stronger, which is good, but I doubt anything will actually make you grow. Compare your height to men in both sides of your family; you should fall around the same height.

EDIT
dont try any pills or any drugs/medicine to try and make you grow...as i said before, it depends when you started puberty....just try to accept your height, its not going to change [ xSharpiexLovex's advice column | Ask xSharpiexLovex A Question ]
