How do I get taller?

Question

I'm short. I'm only 5' and I'm 16 years old--plus I look like a little kid -_-

I don't know if I should just accept how I am, or is there a way to get taller without injections?

Does anyone know anything that's worked for them?

Answer 1

Unfortunately sweetheart, there is only one way to become tall and thats through genetics. The only other option that you have is heels. If you are a female, be happy because most men love shorter women. If you are a male, hang in there because there are plenty of guys who don't hit their major growth spurt until 17 or so.  

Answer 2

Here is a trick honey. U r still young and ucould grow taller. Do the following.

Swim as much as possible.

jump as much as possible (If u cant play basket ball)

Do skipping.

hang urself to any poll and spend some 1 or 2 minutes (lol not using ropes}

Dont ever go for injections, it'll result in side effects.

Answer 3

There is no way to magically make yourself taller.  However, avoid high amounts of caffeine and coffee - research shows that they could stunt your growth.  If you're only 16, chances are you are still growing.  Many women get their final growth spurt during their early twenties.  Try wearing heels or boots and styles of clothing (such as pinstripes) that will make you look a little taller.

Answer 4

Actually, the best way to get taller is to have taller parents. You can also count on the fact that you have a good 2-3 years of growth ahead of you.

Answer 5

I'm 18 years and 5'1. My sister is only 12 and 5'1. Although I would love to be as tall as my sister would be when she would be 18, I wouldn't give up who I am for anything.

Your height, no matter how tall/short you are is part of who you are and why you are beautiful. ( : I look like a little kid myself- people think I'm 13-15 a lot.

The good thing about that is, you get to keep a lot of your youth. There's no hurry for you to grow up- keep your youth for as long as you can ( :

There is really nothing you can do to get taller. Just embrace who you are in your own skin.
