I am 15 years old and only 5'4" tall. Is there any way possible in which I can make it to my desired height of 6'2" before I am 19? I seriously hate being short! Damn...

do I care? No, so please be quiet. You could beat me in a fight just because i'm 5'4"? what? Alright, to be honest, not once during that american/canadian argument have I thought about whether I could beat some of these people up or not. Americans... Jeeze, like to see you beat me in something of good point such as a game of basketball or halo 2 (xbox video game, in case you didn't know). Yeah, you're probably laughing right now and planning on saying something back to me, eh? Haha. Do it for all I care, because frankly, I could care less about your obvious interest in violence. Let me express a well thought example: in reality, it's called homicide. In the world of movies/video games , it's called entertainment.









Ps: halo 2 is a 'video game'. If you were going to mention that this game is violent to a certain point or anything like that, grow up. Please, don't make it seem like you're a complete fool and acknowledge how you think reality-based violence is the same, if not, almost the same thing as video game or fictional-based violence.

You come here for help and you want to start some fight about a video game? Come on...

Bigman16 is right, look at other family members. That will give you an idea of your own expected height. Also I believe you can go to the doctor and they will x-ray your hand or something. If there are gaps between the bones you still have some growing to do.

I have heard about a surgery where they break your legs. As they are healing back together they pull them apart a little bit more at a time. The new bone now grows in the crack to heal the broken leg. The results, you become taller. Might want to research that. But I bet it would be expensive and I doubt it would get you the almost foot you are looking for.

ok, i'm now seriously edit you all think i'm doing things which i'm not! You assume this, you assume that, you people assume everything! Maybe it's not just americans who are stupid, maybe it's me who is the only intelligent/commonsence person here, or for that matter, in the world! God dammit! I don't have the time for people who can't even edit read! I'm not exactly what you would call your average teenager. No, in a certain sense i'm just too smart to be labeled as average.

Playing Basketball

ı think the discussion is going out of question.

For your question, I can only say that playing basketball may help. Maybe not as much as u wished. 1 is better than 0

Oh break it up you lot. This is a men's health forum, not a kid's playground.

Fa18hornet: you may still have a growth spurt left to go yet! You might grow a few inches within a few months, or it might take years! Either way, you shouldn't be disappointed with your height. Especially since what you are isn't a particularly bad height to be anyway.

tie some milk crates to the bottoms of your shoes, that should give you an extra 8-12 inches.

The only thing that would really help you gain height (other then coming from a tall family) would be eating right, and stretching (although that probably wont do much) other then that theres nothing you can do, and if you do stay that height then just accept it, i'm 18 and i'm only 5'6 and im fine with it, in fact I rather prefer being short for my own reasons, but anyways I wish the best of luck to you with this
