[QUOTE=CivilProtection;20320226]Right now I'm 16 years old and 5 foot 6 tall. I'm pretty sure it's due to my ethnicity (I'm southern European, specifially Maltese, so that height is actually average for the country) but since I live in Australia, it's pretty short over here. I haven't grown at all in the past 6 months at least, so I'm pretty sure I'm not going to grow anymore, but I hate being this short compared to most others. Other than basic stretching you can do to straighten your spine and be slightly taller, is there anything reasonable I can do?[/QUOTE] I'm 16yo and 5 foot 6 too :buddy: I don't worry too much about the height though. There's not really much advantage to being super tall other than being able to reach the top shelf.
I don't really want to be more than 6'3'' (I'm 6'1''). Partially because then I'll tower over every girl I meet, partially because the average size for doors is 6'6''.

I don't know what you guys have against 12 year olds, sure, some are meme hugging shitposters but some arent.
Steroids.
Here's something that can make you tall 1. Don't smoke. Smoking affects your growth. 2. Eat a healthy diet of fruits and vegetables 3. Stealth fapping 4. Drink milk for stronger bones 5. Exercise
Well you can do what they do in china, which is break your tibia and fibula then space them apart and hold them in place with plates. This causes your body to fill the space with more bone, thus adding to your height. This will NOT get you anything more than an inch however, and is very expensive (an probably illegal) to do. Another option is to get a brain tumor and stimulate your pituitary gland, though this will most likely lead to giantism. If that doesn't kill you the tumor will.
15 years old and 5'7
The men in my family always get taller around 18 and their all just about 6ft. I'm about 5,8 or 9 but I'm small compared to some of the people around here. The women aren't taller so it's all good.
[QUOTE=Combine 177;20321559]What the heck is this?[/QUOTE] A person longer maker. Hit the ^ to get longer, hit the v to get shorter.
I don't think none of my family members are 6 foot. Then again, as I said with my other posts, most powerful people were short. The first generation and so on of humans were short. Short people tend to survive longer because they don't weigh that much, or need to eat a lot.
[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 17 and 6 foot 4 inches. I never went through a "gangly" stage either lol.
Eat well, get a lot of sleep, drink a lot of water. /thread PS: I'm 5'3
17 --- 6'1 I was always a healthy eater...
[QUOTE=BCell;20342173] 3. Stealth fapping[/QUOTE] Pardon?
I'm 16 - 6' 3" or something. It's alright, sometimes it's annoying being so tall or weighing so much, I'd rather be like 5'11". You get plenty of attention when you're tall, though, especially from the laydeez.
I'm 5'11 and I just ran the webMD height calc on my son, he is estimated to be 6'2". He's already planning on beating me up.
don't worry about your height so much unless you are shorter than most females.
I'm 16 and about 5, 5. I fucking hate it.
I'm a year younger than OP, and slightly taller, and still growing.

Pssst... Don't advertise your age if you under 15.
[QUOTE=Smasher 006;20320492]You can't get any bigger than your skeleton. I suggest drinking milk and eating yogurt loads.[/QUOTE] LOADS /caps :smugdog:
[QUOTE=Hellduck;20353040]Pssst... Don't advertise your age if you under 15.[/QUOTE] You're 15.
Consume lots of calcium rich food, just don't get stones.
I notice that you guys posting in this thread are mostly taller than average, I don't think you guys are lying, I think threads about hight make people who are tall come in and post their hight. Just an observation
19 and 6'4" I love being tall, every time I have to duck under something I like it, except in some trains in england the roof is like 6'3" so I have my head pressed against the ceiling when I have to stand. There are no ways to considerably alter your height other than things like shoes.
