• Answer:

  I hate to say it, but a major part of your growth and development is based on genetics. It's hard to alter these; if it's coded out in your genes that you're gonna be short, it's hard to do much about it. However, I'll give you some advice that may help; because sometimes, puberty hits a little late, and your growth spurt comes last in the line of adult alterations you'll experience as you grow older. I suggest to drink lots of milk for increased bone growth and strength; eat a healthy diet to encourage physical growth; maintain an active lifestyle for further growth; and be patient. Although your friends may be shooting up, some people grow slowly. My little brother, for instance, took a long time to grow to my height; but now he's a good inch taller than I am, and he's four years younger. If you're not super tall now, don't worry; you have plenty of time. In the meantime, be healthy, and that will be your surest bet to boosting your height :) I hope this helped you!!!
