I just turned 16 last month. I'm 5.2

My mom is 5.1

My dad is 5.7.-5-8

If i start drinking milk 3 times a day and run a lot. Would it help?

It feels like I haven't grown for like 3 years. I'm not satisfied ..

  1. Well I don't believe that your parents or what you drink/eat have anything to do with your height. I am 14, 6'-6" and my parents are barely 5'-5" I barely drink milk and eat anything at all. I mostly drink water and hang out with friends. So unless my friends are making me grow, just live.


  2. Im 6 ft 2 and you should feel blessed that youre short lol.

  3. yes you will probably be like your dads height when you're 19

    =]

    its in the genes..

    basketball and stretching and enough sleep

  4. I am 16 too. I drink a lot of milk and I have grown a lot. Taller than most of my family from my mom's side.  Exercising will help a lot. I used to be the shortest girl in school now I am like 5'4 which is average.

  5. its good for girls to be short its more attractive :D

  6. Yes you will, woman usually do not stop growing until they are 18-21

  7. in high school I had a friend in similar situation

    and by the time he was freshman in college he was 6. 5

  8. Men prefer short women over tall, but ya you might grow another inch or more then stop

  9. i think you will be.

  10. Ha.....Totally can relate....I am just barely under 4'11. I am sorry to say...but being sixteen there isn't that much room to grow. I am thirteen....and petite. My parents have me take this growth hormone called humatrope. Basically it makes you grow....duh. But the catch is your bone age. The bone age is how progressed your bone growth...once you have hit the bone age of fifteen your growing has stopped...no possibilities of growing. I am thirteen with the bone age of 12-14 so I still have a chance. Even though I will NEVER hit 5'2. If you really are concerned you can ask your doctor about this....considering your bone age. Insurance is also important, a month's supply of growth horomones cost 4,000 dollars (not kidding.) Honestly..don't be too worried about your height (I know taking advice from someone who is barely two years younger than you, I am almost fourteen, sounds weird but trust me) being 5'2 is not that horrible. Besides they say being short makes you look younger in the future. I hope this helps. I listed the website that talks about the humatrope.  

  11. your gonaa grow  

  12. You'll grow up till your 22

  13. You could grow until around 18-20. My aunt grew about 4inches after high school. People claim jumping helps. Exercise and milk cant help... you should have been drinking milk all along and maybe you would be 5.3 now.

  14. you will keep growing..

    have patients..

    and milk is fattening. it just makes your bones stronger

  15. You will probably grow a bit taller. Often females take after their mother's height but it's not always true. It's said that you become twice the height you were aged 2...

    Don't worry about being short, all the guys say tall girls aren't attractive and prefer short ones...sucks for me being 5"11.

  16. yu dont wanna be too tall. lol

    but i think yu will grow an inch or two.
