  • Answer:

    17 is a correct age to grow taller.Height depends upon your genetics,the protein food you received during childhood and now,and the general healh.Please start with "high protein" food.,indulge in exercises like sit ups,pull ups,high jumps,volley ball,basket ball. High heeled shoes,dress with vertical stripes,and some hair styles make you "look"taller.

Ive never heard of tablets to make you taller but i guess the market will come up with anything. My guess is to get surgery where they have to stretch your legs and turn a screw or whatever to make your legs longer. Dawrfs do it! so I think that will work.

Sorry, but i think that your really short. I'm 13 and i'm nearly5"4. Well i can give you some tips though. forget about the pills, they really have side effects. Do as th others told-- skiping and sports. you can also do some special yoga, there are some which helps in increasing your height. You can take tips from a yoga trainer. It really helps. I used to do yoga since i was 5 yrs and i ahve a good height. I don't belive that it is because of your parents. 'coz ma oarents are short. If you just have faith and trust in yourself you can easily do it.!!!!

HEY..... i'm only 5'2"....you're probably done growing. my doctor said girls are USUALLY done growing (height wise) by the time they get their periods. my daughter sprained her foot in gym class at age 12, and when the doctor was showing me her x-rays, he pointed out how all of her growth plates in her bones were closed, meaning she was done growing. poor kid, she is now 15, and is only 4'11"....so take heart!!!

Well, eating vegetables is a good way to grow at least an inch. And the tablets are probably your only other choice. I'm short also, so you're not alone!

I'm pretty sure that the height that you're going to be is decided genetically. You can take all the pills you want, but they're not going to make you taller! Companies are going to sell pills that they claim can do just about anything, but you can't always believe that. You're 5'3"? So what? If your parents aren't that tall, I don't think there's much of a chance that you're going to be 5'6". However, I had a cousin who was about 5'3" all through high school (a guy), and he didn't finish growing until he was in his second year of college. You just never know. Stop taking the pills. They're NOT the answer to your problem. It's either your gene pool or you just haven't waited long enough.

Yes you can increase your height. Take veg foods those have lots of protein and do exercise just like jumping and skipping.
