growing taller
Ok, so I'm a 16, almost 17/m, and i'M ABOUT 5'9. I hate it. All of my friends are at least 6'. I really want to grow taller if i want to have a better chance at playing football in college. Are there any ways i can make myself grow taller, as crazy as it sounds?

Human growth hormone can add a few inches. but since you are already 5 9, there isn't much of a chance your doctor will prescribe it for you. Even if your doctor does, it's expensive.
Drinking whey protein or anything else with amino acids might help you grow a bit. Milk helps to. Since you are doing football, I'm also assuming you are lifting. Make sure you don't put too much stress on your back if you want to hope to grow any more. Stay away from the military press.
Be glad you're 5 9. I'm 5 6. There's a possibility I'm not even going to do varsity football due to my size.

I'm not sure of when a guy stops growing, but you may have more time yet to get another growth spurt.
Other than that, you just have to accept that you are 5'9".
Ever saw the movie "Rudy"? He was a man who worked his tail off to become a member of Notre Dame football. Though he was small, he played with a lot of heart, and that matters more than size.
It is a true story based on a man named Daniel "Rudy" Rudiger.
So, don't let your size dictate your dreams.

hey, theres no way of making yourself taller. sorry. wear taller shoes.

No, you can't. You can't take growth pills simply because they don't work, and they're dumb. Just accept yourself as you are. You were made that way for a reason, and it's in your genes to be a certain height.

Nope.
Sorry to be blunt, but you can't make yourself taller. Maybe it's just in your genes to be short? But maybe you're just a really SLOW grower and you might get a huge growth spurt! But even if you don't, just be happy with how you are because some people only have 1 arm!
Sorry I'm not much of a help.
