how can i get taller?

Question

hi, i'm almost 13, and i'm 157, but i grew alot when i was 10-12, but i heard some people say that if you get tall when your young, you won't grow alot later, is this true? what I usually do is drink alot of milk, don't wear too flat shoes. Can u suggest someting else to do? do u think i could be 165?

Answer 1

It's all in the genes baby. If your parents or grandparents were tall you stand a good chance of being tall assuming you had adequate nutrition when you were young. Keep drinking that milk though becaue you need to build up calcium in your bones so that when you get older your bones will still be strong!

Answer 2

At 13, you're going to still get taller. There really is nothing you can do to actually gain heighth. Wear shoes and pants of the same color; make sure your pants just touch the top of the shoe. Also pointed toed shoes make you appear taller. Now is the time when you want to establish good eating habits so you can maintain a healthy weight as an adult.

Answer 3

genetics look do this test is to know average how much you will grow...look convert your height to centimeters and your parents. Then add your parents height lets say dad: 160 cm and mom is 173= 323 cm if you are a girl subtract 13 cm and if your a guy add 13 cms. So 310 centimeters then dvide by 2= 155 centimetes. It has a range of 5 cm + or - of margin of error. Its pretty accurate try it! Everyone... :D
