If you are a 14 yr old boy and you are already 5'10", then you are going to be tall! Boys bones don't fully develop until they hit about 22, and they can grow until about 19 or so. Girls usually stop growing earlier. If you are only 14, you still have lots of growing to do. Drink your milk and eat lots of protein. And don't forget to eat your vegetables for the iron.

Dont worry about it! Women usually stop growing when there 15/16 years old and men keep on growing until there 21. And besides your only 14 and your 5'10. Actually I think that's a pretty good size for a 14 year old. Again, you have nothing to worry about. Also, milk does help you grow taller.

Yeah, drinking milk is gonna make you grow taller!!!!!
Oh my gosh! And you want a college scholarship for basketball?
You cannot force your body to grow taller. It will do it IF/WHEN it's ready. Just because you haven't grown at all in 7 months is no reason for concern.
And just because you're tall, does not guarantee that you'll get a basketball scholarship. Talent plays into it too!

5' 10" is not all that short. I'm only 5"1" and I was an inch shorter when I played basketball. You will probably grow a bit more before you turn 21 but there is nothing you can do to make yourself grow faster. People are not like plants that you fertalize to make grow.

You can't do anything about your potential height. It's determined genetically. You can eat right, exercise, and stay healthy. This will allow you to reach your maximum potential height. Unfortunately, if it's not as tall as you'd like, there's nothing you can do to change it.

Milk is bad for you. Milk is actually pus from cows. Eat a lot of protein. 5' 10" is plenty tall. You don't have to be a giant, and actually, you not being that tall may be a blessing in disguise.
People always want to be the opposite of what they are. Learn to see the positive in all negative things. Remember Ying Yang. For everything bad there is something good.
