Answer 1

Unfortunately, no. Your height can't be increased more than you DNA says you're going to grow, no matter what some ads might say. Also, if you're thinking of Growth Hormones, those won't increase your height... it's more for a youthful feeling and can actually be dangerous to take for people under 18 because they are still growing.

The only way to increase your height more than your DNA says is a risky and painful surgery where they cut your leg in half (literally) and insert little spacers. It's only allowed in a few countries after a person is already fully grown and costs thousands of dollars to get (which insurance would never cover).

But since you're not 18 yet and therefore not done growing... just give it time and make sure you avoid things that can stunt your growth like high caffeine intake, smoking, doing drugs, etc. Oh, and make sure you eat healthy and get enough sleep every night because that's when your body recovers from the day and grows the most. Good luck!

Answer 4

I doubt there's anyway to force your body to grow that anybody knows of... But yeah high heels could work, but thats not practical (duh). I suggest you wait. People who are short in middle school usually grow considerably faster in high school. I used to be quite tall in middle school, now basically the shortest around my friends.

Answer 5

Sorry, but nothing you eat (assuming you're eating a reasonably balanced diet) can make you taller. You're fine, don't be hard on yourself. Enjoy life and avoid people who enjoy belittling others.
