I want to grow taller
Hi!
I'm 15 and my height is about 4'9.5 or 4'10.5.. I'm an Asian and I have a problem on growing taller.
Whenever I try to drink milk, my height just wont budge. Same goes with vitamins. I have tried the vitamins but I only get wider instead. My exercise consists of walking around and going up and down the stairs. I eat about a cup of rice and something with a lot of protein.
So does anyone have any suggestion ?
At age 15, you have probably reached your maximum height. Have you went to a doctor for tests to determine if your growth pattern is normal?
It is OK to be short. My wife is 4' 7", also Asian and is considered to be cute and/or pretty by most, even at 51 years old.
I grew an inch after I was 18, so you never know. But your height is most a genetic matter, not much you can do about it.

I am a guy and i was a short teenager. I was 5'6" until i was 16. I am 25 and now i am 6'2". If you are looking to get taller, there really isn't much you can do. Genetics is the primary key. Obviously we could stereotype you being asian but honestly it has a role to play. How tall are both your parents? Any siblings? How tall are your male siblings, if you have any?

I agree. It's 99% genetic. However, I grew almost 2 inches between 25-30 and I think it was mostly due to working out really hard and a good diet.Originally Posted by WildChild
A person's height is determined primarily by genetic factors, as a research shows that height basically is an inherited trait.
If you're not satisfied with your height; if you spend every day wishing you were three to four inches taller. Put everything else aside, get comfortable, and read THIS *Removed outbound link*. Because I have good news for you!

What! Are you serious? That's so awesome!
Yeah, it's the weirdest thing. I was 5'5" forever and then after I started boxing I grew to almost 5'7". It's crazy. I honestly think it's because I workout so hard and really watch what I eat.
In my case it cant be inherited. My mum was a fairly tall lady and my father is over 6foot. I havent grown for about 2 1/2 years and Im only 5ft 4. Maybe you could exercise more and see if it helps.

Without the aid of surgery I have no idea how it could even be possible to overcome the predetermined genetic component of anatomy and physiology when it comes to height. Once those bones fuse in their adult state along with the plateau of GH I have no idea how it could be possible to grow more.
There are those who believe that dictionaries should not merely reflect the times but also protect English from the mindless assaults of the trendy.
