Am I going to grow anymore?

Question

I'm 17 years old and I've been 5'4'' since I was 13. I'm kinda chubby and of Filipino descent. Am I going to grow any taller? Also, is there anything I can do/eat to help me get taller?

Answer 1

theres growth hormones.. and they work. it can make you grow.

filipinos are small. im half filipino. my moms really tiny.  

you stop growing after 21

Answer 2

male's usually grow until 18 females until 16, if your going to grow it will probably be only a couple (2) of inches. tips on stuff to eat and drink calcium, vitamin C,D and A other than that there's usually nothing you can do. good luck

Answer 3

People grow up to the age of 21- so you still might have a chance.

Looking very thin also give the illusion of being very tall...  

Answer 4

Some people are just born with the genetics of being not tall, it's not your fault buddy. Try to eat meals high in protein and low in carbs. It's a fact that growth hormones are released during physical activity, so you should consider exercising a least 45 minutes a day. Don't eat junk food, junk food might stunt growth.

Answer 5

i doubt it but sleep earlier eat lots of calcium drink milk eat fruits and veggies exercise/stretch

Answer 6

Probably not.Sorry.If you want you could ask a doctor

Answer 7

It could be a possibility that puberty is just coming late for you, in which case, you would get much taller. If you've already been through puberty, though, there's no food that will specifically enhance growth. The best thing to do is eat a balanced diet and minimalize junk food.

Answer 8

First of all, are your parents tall or short?  That's a huge indicator.  I have read that males don't stop growing until they are 21, so you have a while to go.  Be optimistic!  

I don't think there is anything you can eat to get taller.

I saw an episode of The Andy Griffith Show where Barney (the deputy) was too short to pass his physical to be a cop.  Andy and his friends put him in a sling-hanging him a little for a few days.  He grew (or stretched) one inch.  If you're desperate enough, try that.

otherwise, just be patient.

Answer 12

maybe growth harmones? but at the age of 17 i would give up on growing any

Answer 13

Probably not but maybe you didn't have your growth spurt yet and drink more milk

Answer 14

Dude i'm like the same as you im 18 5'4 and have been that way for a long time im not filipino though. its good to know im not the only short kid.

Answer 15

theres no way to control your height you cant eat something that will magically make you get taller, but it is very probable that you will still grow because many guys grow throughout late high school years and college, so dont worry so much

and remember height doesnt really matter

Answer 16

Nothing you can do besides eat healthy. You probably wont grow anymore if you have had a period of quick growth before you were 13.

Never give up hope though :)

Answer 17

Maybe an inch or two but not likely.  

Answer 18

maybe.drink more milk.

Answer 19

males grow all the way until they are in their early 20's... don't worry though, height isn't that big of a deal :D
