Question

Answer 1

You are still very young! It is around 12/13 that girls start to grow.Unlike boys however, you may not notice it as much because boys tend to have a faster growth spurt in a shorter amount of time: girls grow more gradually over a slightly longer period of time. So don't worry about it too much. If your mum is 5'7 (as i am presuming from the stats you gave) then it is likely you will grow to that height approximately.

Okay things you can do to insure you grow to you optimal height is to eat healthily - by eating healthy, nutritious meals you will give your body the nutrients it needs to grow and develop.
Secondly, there is no specific sport that can make you taller (not significantly anyway), but any sport/exercise you do do can help you grow.

Thirdly do not smoke - smoking will stunt growth!

I hope these suggestions help. Though do bear in mind it is genetics that mainly determines growth. And that sometimes no matter how well you look after yourself, etc you will not grow any taller than your genes allow for!

>>>* Hey What's up Man, my friends call me Skippy. I know RIGHT where you are now, as I was once there, and I can tell you first hand that it is ABSOLUTELY possible to grow in height after you thought you were done growing forever. Perhaps my own story could be of some help to you...

My family has been in the aviation business since the 1960's. There has been pilots, engineers, baggers, stewards, and of course stewardesses. I never really had much of an interest in piloting or working as an engineer, but I LOVE the sky, and being on airplanes. I had already traveled to 12 different countries by the age of 21. So for me, being a Steward(flight attendant) was always my dream job. The only problem, however, is that there are height requirements for safety reasons. As I was exceptionally short in height- my college degree, and qualified resume meant nothing. I was denied my first job as a flight attendant because I was about 2 inches short of their requirements. This absolutely devastated me. I thought my dream had gone out the window. I was also embarrassed, it was sort of like not being able to get on a ride at an amusement park because I was too small. Which has actually happened to me, btw. Lol. But this was worse, this was my dream career, and future at stake.

At this point, I began scowering the web for help. First I tried seeing if there was a way, some way, to get around the height requirement mandated by airliners. The answer was a big fat NO. Once I had determined there was no way around it, I started feeling hopeless, and desperate. THAT'S when I started looking into the seemingly ridiculous idea that you could continue growing, even after you were finished with puberty. So, after hours and hours of research, reading countless reviews and testimonials, I did come across one website - http://www.growtall.pcti-system.com .. A natural height-growth program that caught my eye. Setting my inherent skepticism aside for a moment, I signed up for the site. Now, fast forward a few months after learning and utilizing all the material and support in the program, I actually grew 3 INCHES! That's no lie. Dead serious. I have since re-applied for the job I would have otherwise gotten if I had met the height requirement. They don't even believe me, lol! They have not set me up for another interview, but that's Ok. If not them, I will have my dream job soon with another airliner as this time I won't have to worry about coming up short. No pun intended! lol.

Anyways, I hope my story was of some help to you, and I wish you the best!

At 13 you are still changing every day.. might just be little changes... As you know your body turns Food into energy and muscle..
Most Kids like my grand-kids Skip breakfast have snacks for lunch and pick at there supper... If you are like them you won't change much...

Now to think more about what you want.... Drink Milk
Eat something for breakfast, drink milk and small OJ
Eat real food for Lunch
Eat real food for supper
Drink plenty of water during the day,
More when working out or playing...

Get into a Sport or 2 to make your body work better
Best 3 for a growing young person are BasketBall, Swimming, Soccer, Track isn't that great but the training for track is...

Answer 5

The human body is done producing growth hormone at age 25 (on average). You may already be close to your full height, and then again you may not.

To my knowledge, there is nothing you can do diet or exercise wise to grow taller. Doctors are experimenting with surgery to lengthen legs, but that's surely not the way you want to go.

If you ask me, 5'2 is both beautiful and functional. The best astronauts are the smaller ones. :)

Answer 6

Ha ha "practice" to grow taller. As if the taller people are REALLY GOOD AT IT, and the shorter ones just aren't trying.

Get as much sleep as you can. Make sure you have a good diet. That's it.

Answer 7

I actually used the program that "Skippy" person speaks of. It really does work. That same website, http://www.growtall.pcti-system.com .. I played basketball in college, and I used that to gain a couple in height. A total of 2.5 inches. After that, it seemed to plateau though. I could not gain any more than 2 1/2, no matter how hard I tried. But those inches really gave me an advantage in my games. Well worth it.

Answer 8

There's nothing you can do to grow faster. You'll grow taller in time; especially during the next four years.

Answer 9

Haha, no there isnt any unfortunatly!

Hey I'm older and 5'1 !!! But think of it this way... I could never date a guy shorter than me, so that means I got alot of potential guys out there!!! Embrace your height. And when you get older, if its still a problem, high heels will become your best friend (but save those till your older, else you will look like a sl*t)

Answer 10

You're only 13, you've still got a few years of growing left. If you're destined to be short, there's nothing you can do. Just wait it out and see. You can't fight genetics.
