  1. You shouldn't worry about being the shortest on the team. At my high school, there's a guy on the basketball team who is noticeably shorter than everyone else. But he is GOOD. He can squeeze between players and is really fast. So don't worry about being the shortest on the team, focus on your PLAYING. Good luck! : )


  2. you grow when you sleap right???? so sleap alot

  3. To grow really fast you have to stay healthy and eat more vegetables =p Good Luck.

  4. drink lots of milk... and don't lift heavy weights!!! that makes you smaller...

  5. hang upside down from your ankles, but be careful you might get too much blood in your head

  6. sorry, you cant grow height wise (trust me ive tried) =[

    but you can grow in ways of being built and muscular!

    lift weights, do situps && pushups... it may seem like a lot work, but its all worth while!

    hope i helped=]

  7. im not too sure but like, i hear it all the time. vegetbales, milk and beans and peanut butter and alot of things that are high in proteinnn, builds stong bones, makes you tallller (:  

  8. Most of your growth is controlled by genetics. You would need to be very sickly to slow it, and likewise it is nearly impossible to enhance it.

    If you did some research with your mom or dad, maybe you could find some safe herbal stuff to enhance the ouput of the pituitary.

    Beyond that, your stuck with what you have.

    I was less than 5' thru my freshman year. I graduated at 6'1" and 225lbs. I then slowly grew to my current height, 6'3" and a little heavier than I'd like now, lol.

    Point is it will happen however it will. Not likely you are going to change it much.

  9. you cant really control how tall you grow, but try eating healthier and have milk more. i guarantee I'll have a growth spurt  

  10. just wait till your growth spurt.  all the guys in my grade are either shorter than me, or waaay taller than me.  

  11. EAT HEALTHY,WORK OUT, THEN AGAIN IT MAY BE IN UR FAMILY GENES TO BE A CERTAIN WAY OR BUILT

  12. woah super smart kiddo :[]

    anyways

    .......drink lots of milk??

    and eat healthy foods..

    and excersise....

    but thats the only way besides drugs.....WHICH YOU SHOULDNT DO

  13. well its a proven fact kids grow more in there sleep..mayb should go to bed earlier lol

  14. d**n, ur lucky,

  15. Basketball isn't just about height, you need to be fast, smart, and have good aim too.

  16.   wear high heel shoes!

  17. well for one, you skipped a grade so it shouldn't really matter about height, and 2nd unless you want to play point guard, you shouldn't worry about being on the basket ball team, short people are really good at 3 pointers because of how they see the goal ina  different angle, but anywayz. try eating really balanced, don't skip meals, and get enough sleep as well, take some naps if you can, drink warm milk in the morning or at night. and thats pretty much there is to it. but again don't need to stress about, you'll still grow and you won't even notice it lol.

  18. u skipped a grade? i think that

    is so HOT!

  19. haha the b-ballering team??

    thats some intense shtuff mang

    well drink milk like 1 gallon a day

    :}

    serious


  20. First, wrong section.  Second, you can't.  Third, you can always do what the chinese do, and get a surgery that cuts your bones and inserts spacers which are cranked every few weeks to increase the length of your bones.  It is extremely painful thought.  You simply can't change the time of your growth spurt.  Your body is programmed to have that chemical released at a certain time and it can't be changed (yet).  You can always buy shoes that have really thick soles.  Also...if you're good at basketball, you don't need to be tall.  I know some really tall kids who are horrible at basketball and some really short kids who can rock the court.  Just practice up!

  21. There's not really any way to speed it up. I'm pretty sure kids won't mind your short, and you don't hve to be tall in basketball. Practice make perfect!
