Answer 2

when i was 17, my height was also same, but i increased it by some excercise, now i am 29 and my height is 5f 8inch.
i was doing three excercises daily.
1. stand straight near a wall or some thing else, stretch your hands upward upto maximum height but the toes should not be lifted, then mark the wall where your fingers had.
daily do this but keep it in mind that you will have to raise the fingers at least 1mm or more from the previous day mark.
by doing this 2 times a day and at least 10 tries per turn.
after a week, you will see a visible difference between the first mark and the last one. carry on unitil u r satisfied.
2. stand near the wall, but your face should not be towrds the wall but look parallel to the wall .
raise your two hands in the air and remember that both thumbs of the hands should be touched and the fingers should be straight.
now bend in such a way that your feet are straight and your upper part above the hips bend and try to touch the wall by your fingers and and adjust your distance form the wall in such a way that your finger tips just touch the wall and mark that place on the earth where your feet are. do this for sever times.
next day in crease the distance from the wall by 1cm or more and try to touch the wall until u do, and carry on this practice regularly.
3. adjust some rod in some supports in such a way that you can vary the distance form the floor in small steps.
hand on the rod and adjust the height in such a way that you your toes just touches the floor, remember that you fingers and toe should be parallel.
next day increase the height of rod form the floor 1 or 2 mm and again try to touch the floor.
after few days, change the distance and repeat the steps and you will see a visible difference.

Answer 3

Generally speaking, your height is determined at birth. Usually your height is indicated by your parents (although, not always). I am 5' 2" (39 years old) and it isn't that bad. Guys tend to like small girls. I can tell you that at 18 years old I was only 4' 11" (like my mother) but I continued to grow until I was 21 and I reached 5' 2" and now I am the tallest female in my family.

There isn't really anything you can do at this point to make yourself grow taller, but you can ask your doctor if you are done growing or if you still have some growing to do. The normal age to stop growing is somewhere around 18, but some people still grow into their 20's.

Whatever happens, learn to use it to your advantage. It is really easy to flirt with guys when you are a petite girl. You can ask a taller guy to get something that is to high for you to reach and you have already started a conversation. See how easy that was. Being shorter really has some great advantages. You should embrace it.

Answer 4

Hey now I am 31 and 5' 2'' what's wrong that height???
You can use ancient methods of stretching the body, very painful, usually used in torture.
Sorry to say your height is based upon your genes, look at your mother and father, you will be somewhere in between (in most cases) you may be as tall as the tallest parent.
Oh I heard if you hang on the monkey bars by your hand and let your feet dangle you may grow.. but that would take hours a day and years..and your body is almost stopped the growing stage...

Answer 5

You didn't say whether you are guy or girl but I am assuming female.
At 17 years, your growth has likely finished, probably much to your disappointment.
Average height for women is between 5'4" and 5'7" if I remember right.
There is nothing you can do to grow, but of course, you can wear shoes with some heels for the illusion.
Hey, nothing wrong with your height as there are lots of women of 5'2" or even less. Visit Hawaii and you will tower over most of the gals there.

Answer 6

Honey I'm 28 years old and 4'11" There's nothing you can do about it. Besides small is good. I've learned to live with it. Plus, I'd rather be small than too tall. I wear "big" shoes all the time. Not platform shoes but shoes with a heal. It's very rare to see me in sneakers but I do wear them too. Guys like small girls. There's nothing wrong with being small. And when you get older you'll look younger and people will card you! haha..I like it now, I didn't when I was your age but I do now! You're you and that's just how it's going to be...Live and Love yourself! Brandi =)

Answer 7

If you are a girl and 17, then you probably won't get any taller as you are finished growing. No worries though - average height is 5'2" to 5'4"

Answer 8

Too bad for you. You can't, even if the moon was to fall today. Check ya pop's and mom's height, then compare to yourself. See something similar???

To bad man, height is genetically determined!!

Answer 9

Average is 5'4" to about 5'7". At this point there is nothing that will make you grow if you're done growing. Get used to walking in high heels if you want to feel taller!

Answer 10

i don't think there's really anything you can do to increase your height...but you are still young. i grew an inch and a half in college so there's still hope. otherwise, don't worry because being short is a good thing :)

Answer 11

well you need a lot of calcium, like milk,, but that doesnt work much. the only way is growth hormone drug. average height of a man is 5'10 or 9
