I want to grow 4 inches taller.


Question Posted Sunday April 6 2008, 6:41 pm

What can I do? im 14, and so far I've been 5'4" ever since I was like 12. I had a big growth spurt from 4'8" to 5'4" but i dont want that to be the end. cause my dad's around 5'8 and my mom's about 6'0. my older sister is already 5'9 and my baby bro is already tall for his age.. i really want to get taller, what can i do? would losing weight help? i'm about 150 pounds now and i did this thing on a site and when i lowered my weight it said i'd be a few inches taller because now apparently my adult height will be 5'5. im already nearly 5'5 too.. so that would really suck. i really hate feeling short as other kids now going through puberty get taller, and i dont wanna wear highheels all my life either. i checked this site
"[Link](Mouse over link to see full location); you think that would help? idk how i'd convice my parents to let me get a drug to get taller anyways so what are other things i could do? Thanks a lot for trying to help me get my dream come true to be 5'8" <3.

No, that site won't help you grow. It will only shrink your bank balance.

You are either going to grow, or you are not. Best to be zen about it because there is nothing to done.

Just eat well and take care of your body. Loosing weight will not help. Having *a bit* of extra weight is not such a terrible thing while you are still developing. Don't smoke or doing other silly thing that confuse your body.

Seeing your family doctor and talking about your development might help you find a few facts, if anything, ask your parents if you can do that. There are also ways doctors can check to see if you are still growing or not.

Worth it to mention however, that most (not all) females reach thier full hieght within a year or two of starting thier period. If your period has started, you are likely done, or close to done, growing.

Whatever might be true for your body, it's all in the genes you were given. There is nothing you can do to change it.
