I'm currently 15 years old and I'm 5'4''. I really want to grow taller, and it doesn't seem like I'll be having a growth spurt anytime soon. And when I'm standing next to my friends, I'm really short. Does stretching and exercising help? What about eating healthily? Is there any way I can "improve" my growth development? (if that made sense) I swim alot, if that helps. Thanks ):

You're born to be a certain height. Only way to stop your growth is malnutrition and lack of sleep, things to mess up your health.

You're not short.. compare yourself with Snooki and you'll see. On the serious side.. don't freak about it. Eating healthy is important, and so is stretching and exercising, but nothing really makes you grow. Time is the best medicine.

well your center of growth is your abs. And have healthy ones does help a little. And eating healthy can't be bad. But no matter what you do, you won't be growing instantly, so don't worry, it'll work on it's own time. EDIT: please, know that this won't make you like 4 inches taller, it might not do anything

Assuming you're a girl, you're at a good height. but if you do want to grow taller, eat lots and lots of meats and veggies, and excercise like 2 hours a day

If you're a 15-year-old girl, you're pretty much done growing. I'm 15 and I haven't grown in a year or two. Also; It's pretty much just plain ol' genetics. My mother is 5'10", my father is 6'5". I turned out.. ugh, 6' even. Being short is better than being freakishly tall. :l

For guys on the other hand, they go through a huge growth spurt sometime during the teenage years. I for example started Freshman year at 5'4", then at the middle of Sophomore year, I was 6', now Midway through Junior year, I'm almost 6'1".

it depends on your genes, if your family is short then well your gonna be short to. my family tells me basketball is a good sport to get taller. i played for a year or 2 and went up 8 inches in height. but that was probably cause of a grwoth spurt but still.

It's genetics. Sorry, but exercise/stretching/sleep/milk/good nutrition won't make you grow taller. A girl will only grow about as tall as the mother and the son will grow as tall (or a few inches more) than the father. Lets be realistic here, a 5'5 kid with 5'7 parents will probably only grow to be 5'7 - up to 5'9 if lucky.

Well.... I have a friend. When we were younger, he used to be pretty short. So, when we were young, we got a whole bunch of people, had my short friend hold onto a post, and we pulled on his legs. I swear to you, he got taller.

there is probably nothing you could short of an expensive an extreme measure that may or may not work (not to mention they have to break your legs to do it) so just wait, try to eat healthy and wait eventually if you are gonna grow more you will, if not then eating healthy will have no effect on your growth.
