How to grow a little more?

Im 15 years old.. Im only about 5 feet tall, & I weigh about 115 pounds..

My friends told me that I should stretch before & aftr sleep, and I do, I stretch a lot every night.. My legs are short, I want them to be longer, any tips ? .. Btw, I heard that you can get growth hormaones injected in you by a doctor ?

Answer #1

How tall you get is basically a genetic/hormonal result, although some medications such as steroids for asthma do “stunt” growth. Diet may have some effect, but it hasn’t been proven.

A specialist can give a growth hormone, although it’s used rarely as there are side effects and being 5ft tall, you arent really a candidate.

Please do not fall for any over-the-counter remedy promising to make you taller, as it is not only a waste of money, some can damage your health. You may also hear about doctors outside the US who will do a very radical, very dangerous, experimental surgery that involves breaking your legs & inserting steele plates to give you less than an inch more of height. Several of these ‘experiments’ have resulted in death & the benefit is not worth the pain & risk involved.

On the bright side, you may still grow some up until you’re around 20. I know this wasnt much help, but at least you have the information. Being petite is a feminine thing to be embrassed. Ignore the short jokes & love your high heels!

Hey love..I’m 18 and barely 5’0 lol..I stopped growing in 6th grade, they like x-rayed my hand and saw my bones wern’t growing anymore..they suggested the growth hormone thing to me, and said I would grow about 3 more inches, but you have to inject it into your stomach everyday and I could not handle that. So my best advice to you is just embrace your height!!..no one is ever truely happy with their height, tall people wish they could be short lol..And the plus side of being short is you can wear heels alll the time and you’ll never be taller then a guy! lol…your beautiful no matter what height you are =)..I didn’t like it at first, but I couldn’t imagine myself any other way!
