Honey, you are not short especially considering your age. PLus theres nothing you can do to magically increase your height. Its a waiting process. Your only 16....guys continue to grow up until the age of 20. At this rate you'll be pretty tall by 18.

I feel you i was was 5'11" since i was 16 and i'm now 22 and still 5'11" i always wanted to be aaround 6'3" to be a good height to play point guard but once reality sets in that your only gonna be 5'11" your whole life, it is a good height. Plus remember height doesnt have to do with 1% of the big picture when you look at life. Unless you wanted to be the next Yao Ming or Manute Bol.

Well 5'11" is a flattering height and I wouldn't worry about not growing taller. I am 5'3" and I love how tall I am, wouldn't want to change that for the world. But if you think it is important for you to increase your height I found some interesting sites to look at. Good luck, and I want you to know that you should be happy with your body, because eventually you are going to grow old and shorter...

Sorry, yet there is truthfully no thank you to try this. it would purely be achieveable if say... there have been some thank you to characteristic greater bone into your legs and backbone. At this age, your growth plates are closed, and it incredibly is thoroughly impossible for you to earnings anymore vertical top. whether you have been given human growth hormone, you does no longer advance in top. As for workout, stretching frequently can upload incredibly top, yet no longer the quantity you're searching for. it incredibly is greater a count of improving your posture, and does not incredibly upload top. there is an incredibly average probability which you will advance slightly greater, yet transforming into even yet another inch could be an unusual element at this age.

first of all your still growing, and you might even grow another inch or two. Second, 5'11 is TALL, there are guys out there that are 5'7, 5'8 even shorter. Be happy with ur height, even if you arent 6'5...and if you really think about it, there are a lot of set backs to being too tall!

5'11 not really short..... if your parents are not exactly the tallest people then i don't think you can change. Guys generally keep on growing till 18- 19 even till early twenties you shouldn't stress. your pretty normal.

*cries* I'd love to borrow a few of your inches. Being 5'1 isn't all that much fun. Anyways... don't stress it too much. You won't stop growing until you're in your 20's. Just eat right, exercise, and sleep properly.
