Growing taller? I'm only 5' 8" and I'm already 13! What can i do to grow taller?

Question

I play club ball and am on our clubs A team. I travel all the time and we are a very competitive good team. I play middle blocker and sometimes right side. I have pretty good verticle but i am still not as tall as i would like to be? What should i do?

Answer 1

5'8" is not short at all for 13.  I know people that are 5'3" at 18.  You get taller until you are about in your early 20s.  Just be happy with who you are.

Answer 2

you are exactly like me!!! im 14 though and im 5'101/2! sometimes i like it like when it comes to sports but otherwise i wish i was like 5'8 or 9.  i eat really healthy foods for meals but other than that i eat pretty much anything. i also play middle and this past season i played setter as well... eat plenty of fruits and veggies. chicken is also good for you!

Answer 3

i think you are very tall im am also 13 an i am 5"5 and i am considered tall so dont worry abour it

Answer 4

5'8" at 13 and ur complaining about not being tall enough??? I'm 13 and 5'4" and I'm a volleyball player....

u are tall, but eating your leafy greens and whole grains will make you tall....

Answer 5

No need to go taller, as long as your vertical is good. And you go through a mini-growth spurt around 16-17 (I just went through it and gained two inches over the summer). So don't worry about it yet.

Answer 6

Your tall for your age, your still young and will probably grow more in time.

Answer 7

Pretty much just wait!! I am an Outside hitter, && backup setter at 5'8''1/2 or something like that! I like it for volleyball but it sucks cus I feel like i'm the tallest && then just yesterday we were at a power league && there is girls taller than me in the 14's lol.

Answer 8

Why would you want to grow taller? Sometimes if a girl is too tall she loses her curves and so on, 5'8 is a great height for a girl or woman.

Answer 9

HEY. s***w volleyball. YOU SHOULD BE A MODEL.

Answer 10

getting more sleep,

but honestly i show no sympathy, im 13 and 5  foot.

Answer 11

You might not want to grow any more. You might have issues dating later on if you keep growing.

Answer 12

Height is important in volleyball but its not everything, if you can jump high then that will just counter out the other persons height:) also your not small either. and if you did stop growing you could always play libero (its pretty d**n good fun) just eat healthy and dont do free weights. goodluck!

Answer 13

u'll grow more, but eat meat and carbs

Answer 14

eating healthy will make you grow!
