Is there any way to become taller? - General

6' 2'' is great

I'm 5'8'' and I feel short at times, specially since nearly all my friends are taller than me.

[QUOTE=Haxxer;20330582]6' 2'' is great[/QUOTE] Look down. Is it scary?

6'4" very high metabolism, can't really ride buses, hit my head on everything. It would be nice, but I suck at basketball. [editline]05:07PM[/editline] Pretty accurate usually: [url]http://children.webmd.com/healthtool-kids-height-predictor[/url]

I'm 16 and 5'11"-6', but i hate it when people see me and exaggerate my height, it makes me feel like i'm too tall.

5'8" here, it kinda sucks when everyone's just about an inch taller than you. :sigh:

Hi there, I'm 13 and 4' 11"... :saddowns:

[QUOTE=KingQ8;20320516]I doubt you'll get much taller than. It's rare when a son grows taller thing his dad. My dad is about 6 ft 3" or so, I'm almost taller than him at 17. My mum is like 5ft 6" I think maybe less. God damn, she passed on her genes and it stunts my height. Makes me mad lol[/QUOTE] My dad's 5'10-11. I'm 15 and I'm 5'9-10.

Drink your milk and eat your veggies.

[QUOTE=Hiccuper;20320917]I'm Irish, 16 and 6 foot 4, I used to hate being tall because I stood out too much, but now I quite like it.[/QUOTE] What does being Irish have to do with it???

[QUOTE=spengbob;20321532]Lie down more, apparently when you lie down a lot you grow more.[/QUOTE] It's because of gravity, because when you stand gravity pushes you down, thus making you shorter/grow really slow, but when you lie down, gravity doesen't do anything to you, and you grow more. Just don't lie down too much or your inner organs will die and you will die with them.

16 and 5'3". Thank you short parents. Although I guess guys like short girls.

[QUOTE=KingQ8;20320312]Being tall isn't what it's made out to be. You go through a gangly stage, which sucks. Also, being short isn't as bad as it's made out to be. Just enjoy life the way you are. And yeah, you stop growing at 21, though you SLOW DOWN at around 18. Though at 16, I doubt you'll get much taller. If you get 5ft 10", consider yourself lucky.[/QUOTE] I'm 6ft 4", can affirm that there is indeed a gangly stage, i think it was worth it though

Hmm, eat greenbeans. amirite? :smug:

I'm 6'2", I can't imagine how much taller I would be if I wasn't Lactose Intolerant until a year or 2 ago, and had a lot more milk and dairy when I was younger.

Being short (sorry if that offended you) has its advantages, like you could become a pilot! btw 5,6 Ft is perfect size for a pilot.

15 and a half. I'm around 5'8" Dad is around 5'9/5'10 Mom is around 5'2 Since I know everyone here at facepunch is an expert at these sort of things; can anyone guess my potential height?

I love my hight, I am the tallest person in all 4 of my classes, about 70 people. Though I'm just under that hight were when people see you the first thing they think of is you being tall. Also, any tall people ever think about how far away your feet are?

I got stuck at 5'11", it's so unfair. It's like being trolled by my own genes.

I'm 14 and 6ft. It's expected that I grow to be about 6'5" or 6'6"

as long as your dick is big, chicks will still have sex with u

HGH if you don't mind the illegality and side effects.

[QUOTE=BlackBirdNL;20327596]There is a way. They attach adjustable sliders to your leg bone and in the middle they break it. Then they extent the sliders a bit. Wait for it to heal and then break it again, then extent the sliders wait for it to heal...well you get the picture. Also this in a very very véry painful process. Don't ask me how I know this.[/QUOTE] I'm guessing Gattaca?

I have a friend that is about 5 feet tall. All the chicks dig him, so you'd be more happy shrinking, because if it works for one it works for all!

[QUOTE=Kert97;20320722]I'm 12 and 5'4". Weird.[/QUOTE] that's normal

I was 5 foot 5 inches at the age of 16. Six feet at the age of 17. Shit [b]can[/b] happen, just be patient and hopeful.

[quote=kert97;20320722]i'm 12 and 5'4". Weird.[/quote] gtfo.

Just turned 16, 6'6" Being tall is nice, but it leads to quite bad back problems depending on your build. I'm quite lanky, so I have to stretch like fuck to stop my back hurting.

i am short :( 18 year young and 5 7ish

Pay a couple million dollars to NASA and live a couple of months in Outer Space. You'll grow a couple of inches. And hope to get hit by cosmic rays so you can get stretchy powers.
