Hi, I'm 15/f. And I'm 4'11. I wanna to know things I can eat, drink, or do to get taller.
By the end of this summer, I want to grow at least 3 inches. Please, I really want to get a bit taller.
Ps: Please don't tell me "Just eat a balanced diet" or as to why I wouldn't be able to grow. Just answer if you know what I can do.

It hasn't really been proven that they stunt your growth, but they are unhealthy for you anyways. Get a good amount of protein, specificially lean meats such as turkey and chicken. Make sure you are getting enough. If you don't like meat, try beans or nuts for protein.
You can also stretch every day. Stretching your legs, or exercising might help. Though, you probably won't gain 3 inches over one summer. You could grow about an inch to an inch and a half. Mostly, it's just up to your genes. (Like, if your mom and dad are short.) [ twistedsister17's advice column | Ask twistedsister17 A Question ]

You're low on your age, on the height. You could go to the doctor for some x rays (that's what I had to do) and if they approve it, you can get some shots to possibly help your endocrine system, which could help you get taller.
Check it out with your doctor. :)
It may just be genetic, though, that you're short.
