NEED HELP How to grow taller?!! =)

[uncouth]

sometimes us tall people envy you normals because you fit in a lot better. Being taller than 6'2" can be really ackward when talking to people, sitting in desks, or working in a submarine. Bear this in mind when you wish for height.

 

[Emulex]

dude 5.7" is fine. Just gonna have to date girls that are about 5.4" or less (due to 3inch lift that girls wear).

Also, get yourself a pair of DOC's (1" heel) and put a 1/2-1" lift-insole in, voila. 2" lift you're now 5.9".

Stop jerking off so much...which will delay the onset of puberty, and may give some extra time for your bones to grow. This is assuming that you are not taking anabolic steroids as part of your body building workouit.

i'm 6' and i have these Caterpillar(like the company that makes bulldozers and such) hikers which add another inch or so because the sole is so thick. i'd look into some boots like that but besides that and exercisint like vi_edit suggested, nothing you can do

 

[ltk007]

I'm 5'7" and 16, I'm hoping to grow a few more inches but I haven't grown more than a tenth of an inch in the past year so it looks like I'm stuck being short Its not that bad, at least I'm slightly taller than my parents.

 

[GiLtY]

im 15 and im 5'7~5'8, i wanna be 5'10 or taller. Due to the sport im playing(basketball), the taller, the better! (simply because i want to block someones shot once in my life )

 

[cxim]

99.5% of guys age 19 are not going to grow any taller.

no more growth sputs left... if you have developed secondary male sex characteristics, adult male groin & underarm hair patterns, voice change, etc, you are done growing.

 

[Pyro]

Sorry, you're outta luck. Unless you do as vi edit suggested, you're not gonna grow more and artificial hormones are not gonna help you.


I wish I was a little shorter though. I'm 6'4" (17 yrs old) and if I grow another friggin inch I'm not gonna be able to ride any more roller coasters! Already I can only fit my legs under only a few desks at aschool (most of them time I hold the desk on top of my knees so I can bend my legs )

 

[osage]

Just take off every Zig !!

 

[max105]

~sigh...i was afraid that you guys were gonna say something like no more growth after 19. i'm not really into the growth because of girls, but i would like to be taller than most girls. i'm definitely not really into trying to impress a girl at any moment right now, after an incident with a devious girl :|. Kind of anti-girls still, but don't worry....I'M STRAIGHT and still enjoy looking at pretty girls.

 

[veryape]

I'm 5'10" and am the shortest of 4 men in my family. All my brothers(3 of them)are over 6'3"(fathers 6'6",brothers 6'6",6'4" and 6'4&quot and i'm the oldest at 27. I guess I just fell in between as my mother is only 5'1".

Don't worry about it,unless of course you are horizontally challenged,if you know what I mean. Then you are inferior because size does count,at least i'm told.

 

[veryape]

By the way,milk does not help you grow taller,it just helps to strengthen your bones. So you'll still be short,but you'll be solid as a rock and won't break bones as easily.

OK. Can you quote a single source that can back up this claim?
You sound like a complete moronic idiot with that statement, which made no sense, especially because he said he is 19

 

[reitz]

Don't worry about it. People focus far too much on height anyway.

I'm 5'7&quot; (well, not quite, but I like to round up ), and I'm happy with it. I'm by far the shortest in my family (my mother is 5'8&quot;, my father is 6', and all of my uncles far exceed that). Relax, the average height for adult females in the US is still only about 5'5&quot;, and you've got that beat. If a girl won't go out with you because of your height, then you really don't want to date her anyway.

 

[bonk102]

stop smoking crack and drinking coffee and you'll grow big and strong

 

[max105]

Eh, I'm more discouraged about my height because of my friends, not because of girls (although they do have a small factor). I just saw some friends for the first time since we graduated, and they have grown a few inches still!! That really made me a bit envious of them, since they were still able to grow that much the past year at this age.

 

[HomeBrewerDude]

dude i wouldn't worry about it regardless, you get chicks with your personality anyways except for maybe the really superficial ones and who wants them anyways? BUT I think you can continue growing up till about 25 or so.

 

[max105]

i remember going to the naval academy at annapolis in 8th grade, the tour guide there told us that David Robinson used to go there. There's supposed to be a height range that you must fall in, in order to attend there..something like 5'6&quot; - 6'5&quot;, not sure about those numbers, but David Robinson came into Annapolis, but eventually outgrew the height quota and turned to pro basketball. Not sure if that is entirely true, but gives me high hopes (although this is probably an extreme, once in a lifetime situation)

 

[mpg]

max you are missing part of the story...

I'm vertically challenged also, O well it's a good way to start a conversation, more positions in the sack, to get younger chicks (if you are into that), all sorts of things.

 

[Pocatello]

Don't sweat it, I've seen guys with your height get tons of dates without trouble. Just be nice.

 

[Impact55]

It's sad how society can cause people like max105 to be sad about their outlook. Be yourself.

 

[GoldenGuppy]

I'm around 5'7 and I get all the chicks.. must be me

Title: I Wish


Hey this is radio station W S K E E
We're takin' calls on the wish line
Making all your wacky wishes come true

Hello

1 I wish I was little bit taller
I wish I was a baller
I wish I had a girl who looked good
I would call her
I wish I had a rabbit in a hat with a bat
and a six four Impala

I wish I was like six foot nine
So I can get with Leoshi
Cause she don't know me but yo she's really fine
You know I see her all the time
Everywhere I go, and even in my dreams
I can scheme a way to make her mine
Cause I know she's livin phat
Her boyfriend's tall and he plays ball
So how am I gonna compete with that
'Cause when it comes to playing basketball
I'm always last to be picked
And in some cases never picked at all
So I just lean up on the wall
Or sit up in the bleachers with the rest of the girls
Who came to watch their men ball
Dag y'all! I never understood, black
Why the jocks get the fly girls
And me I get the hood rats
I tell 'em scat, skittle, scabobble
Got hit with a bottle
And I been in the hospital
For talkin' that mess
I confess it's a shame when you livin' in a city
That's the size of a box and nobody knows yo' name
Glad I came to my senses
Like quick-quick got sick-sick to my stomach
Overcommeth by the thoughts of me and her together
Right?
So when I asked her out she said I wasn't her type
(rpt 1, 1)

I wish I had a brand-new car
So far, I got this hatchback
And everywhere I go, yo I gets laughed at
And when I'm in my car I'm laid back
I got an 8-track and a spare tire in the backseat
But that's flat
And do you really wanna know what's really whack
See I can't even get a date
So, what do you think of that?
I heard that prom night is a bomb night
With the hood rats you can hold tight
But really tho' I 'm a figaro
When I'm in my car I can't even get a hello
Well so many people wanna cruise Crenshaw on Sunday
Well then I'ma have to get in my car and go
You know I take the 110 until the 105
Get off at Crenshaw tell my homies look alive
Cause it's hard to survive when your livin'
In a concrete jungle and
These girls just keep passin' me by
She looks fly, she looks fly
Makes me say my, my, my
(rpt 1, 1)

I wish I was a little bit taller...
I wish I was a baller...
I wish I was a little bit taller y'all
I wish I was a baller (3)

Hey, I wish I had my way
'Cause everyday would be a Friday
You could even speed on the highway
I would play ghetto games
Name my kids ghetto names
Little Mookie, big Al, Lorraine
Yo you know that's on the real
So if you're down on your luck
Then you should notice how I feel
Cause if you don't want me around
See I go simple, I go easy, I go greyhound
Hey, you , what's that sound?
Everybody look what's going down
Ahhhh, yes, ain't that fresh?
Everybody wants to get down like dat
(rpt 1, 1)

I wish, I wish, I wish...
