My mom is 5'2, dad is 5'7 or 8 & my brother is around 5'10 - 5'11. When I was 12 I was 4'9. I am 16 now and I am still 4'9. I know that everyone is different and I am someone who takes prise in individuality but I am haunted everyday with the fact that everyone is taller. (yes i know that some ppl are even shorter and that i should count my blessings.) Im not vain or at least i dont think its good and i dont act as such, but i am plauged with guilt each day about wishing to change my appearance (height). I guess its because everyone else always brings it to my attention. Ppl still think that I am 12! . I was checking the internet but Im smart enough (and poor enough) to not believe evrything I read. If there is any professional who can point out any exercise routine or diet that could enhance my growth pls help! I feel like my hieght is inhibiting everything - i want to do so much but i feel so self concious and inferior. Do i need a medic, a charlatan or a psychiatrist?

OK, long answer. One, there is no diet and exercise that will make you taller. period. Two. If you are that self confident, you can go to your doctor and ask for human growth hormone, which is injected into you six times a month (approximately) and you will gain maybe an inch or two. - it also comes with a boatload of side effects and risks attached- Three. there is a procedure that surgeons can do, it involves breaking your legs and attaching screws into them that every day you have to turn and keep re breaking your legs over and over so that the bones will fill in the gaps. It's a costly procedure and very painful and you only get about one or two inches and there is the risk of infection. I think you need to learn to be happy with what you've got. You can try and seek psychological help for your problem but really, in the long run it's not the height that counts, it's the person and hopefully you come to see that.

confident, that's possible you will advance greater, yet no longer plenty. adult men in many circumstances do no longer stop turning out to be till their late young ones, early 1920s, even with the undeniable fact that when you consider that your mom and dad are short, you likely would be around their height.
