Why aren't I growing much? HOW TO GET TALLER, UGHH?
Me: 5'5"
Sister 1 year older than me: 5'10"-5'11"
Mom: 5'1-0"-5'11"
Dad: 5'9"-5'10"
Okay so everyone in my family is like so tall! I'd even kill to just be my dad's height. But I've only grown like 2 inches since I was like 12! I'm 15 now and this is just pathetic. Why am I so short? my mom's side of the family is pretty tall and my dad's side, well idk about his dad but his mom is pretty short but am I seriously destined to always having to wear high heels?
Is there any natural way (yoga, eating certain foods, volleyball, sleeping? etc?) to grow taller? Dont say pills or something, too. Im so freaked out, because I really want to be 5'8" or 5'9" by the time I am 18, because I like being tall (I've been the same height for a long time. When I was younger I was one of the tall kids - now people are growing taller than me and i hate it) and if I dont grow taller, volleyball will be harder for me.. being a 5'5" OH, though I'm still good, taller players still have an advantage. If you don't know ways to grow taller, or you do, what are things that stop you from growing?
Im seriously freaked on this. I talked to my doctor about it at my check up. my mom and her were laughing about it but im serious - it really hurts my self esteem. i dont think i could handle being 5'5" or 5'6" my whole life. I'll even live with 5'7" if I can get there. And whats the latest that people stop growing?

Hi
It's possible to grow taller and there are different methods that can be really helpful for doing it.
Firstly, don't go out and buy those "wonder pills" that are offered all over the place, they just don't work. Why not? Well because the only scientific way the body grows is through the release of our natural height increasing hormone, called human growth hormone or HGH for short.
One of the most important things is not only focus on a prime exercise plan, but also on a healthy nutritional eating plan, with the added assistance of taking the right vitamins. Be sure to get plenty of sleep as the most human growth hormone is released during the first 4-5 hours of sleeping, and is greatly enhanced the longer you sleep.

Speaking from experince because i am short myself (5'0 to be excat and i'm 20 btw) it could be just the way you are, but then again your only 15 so your growth rate could be late (sorry if that didn't make sense). Don't get discoruge.
Wish I could help you a bit more out but I can't all i can say is keep what your doing.

Well, there is a way to add some digits to your height just by consistently following a few simple rules. Skip those expensive growth pills and put away your wallet when it comes to dangerous plastic surgery. Here's how to become taller, the natural way.
Grow Taller With Daily Exercises
A tested way to effectively add height to one's self is to perform exercises. These exercises are designed to increase the secretion of human growth hormone. One of the best exercises to run in sprints in 100 meter dashes. By running in sprints, your body will expend energy and growth hormones that will enable you to grow taller. Also, do daily sit-ups or press ups to strengthen your abdominal muscles. By building your abdominal muscles, your back will strengthen and improve your overall muscle tone. When this happens, you will grow taller.
Eat Right
When you make the goal to grow taller, not only is exercise crucial but eating balanced meals daily is also mandatory. Cut back on the junk foods and try to eat foods with tons of nutrients. Filling your body with vitamins, proteins and minerals organically will help you maintain a healthy and physically fit body. In return, you will have less fatty tissue and become leaner. Therefore, you will grow taller naturally.
Sit Up Straight
To grow taller naturally, you will need to improve your posture. When you are sitting in a chair, you should always sit up straight with your chin up. Consider practicing walking while you have a book on your head. Prevent the book from falling by straightening your back and practicing your posture. When you avoid slouching over while sitting or standing, you will naturally become straight and increase your height.These three effective ways to naturally grow in height really do work if you are consistent and follow through daily. Avoid taking those expensive pills or going through on nonsense surgeries. Why waste your money when you can grow taller the natural way. It's very simple to do and hardly takes any effort at all. In the meantime, you will be gaining a healthy body and improving your overall health.

you've got it good. I've been stuck 4 11" for about 3 years now.
If you find out, please tell me.
Although I have learnt to just be happy as I am, but I know how you feel, being short does suck, but your not the only one.
Don't worry about it you don't stop growing until your like 20 so you still have ages. :) x
