----14(turning 15 this last quarter of the year) Male

---145lbs

----5"8

question: how can i (he) grow more in height? like is he short for his age and height? does swimming work? i know most swimmers are 6 foot or more.... so does it help? how about milk? (ha ha here i go again to many questions) hope you can answer them right!!! thanks again

Answer 1

Anything with calcium will help you bones grow and vitamins. I'm 6'9" 295(muscle). I always loved milk as a kid and couldn't stop drinking it.

Answer 2

hmn familiar,

im tall, about 6 foot and im starting to stop

which is a good thing coz i dont wanna be a giant lol

im tall because of my background

but i love my poridge, veggies and fruits

so i guess that will work

5"8 is just over average in your year

so thats good for him

and thats perfect for swimming

trust me

Answer 3

He is normal and maybe even above the average height for his age, and unfortunately you cannot make yourself grow more in height, swimming and milk will not do it..and he should still grow until he is 18 so tell him to be patient :P

Answer 4

He's not short for his age.  Swimming, nor any other exercise, will not increase his height.  Most swimmers seem tall because that physical body type is just better at swimming.  I'm glad you drink milk everyday, it's good for you.

Answer 5

You can't really do anything to make yourself taller, its just your genetics.

Just make sure you eat enough calcium and protein so you're not deficient, but that's all you can do to make the most of whatever your genes have planned for you.
