I'm 21 n 5 feet

i'm 21 and 5' too! what a concidence... i have good news though. i'm still growing! slowly but surely. what's important is that you avoid falling into that dieting trap. once i stopped, i sprouted two centimetres (yes, this year). oh and stretching tends to lengthen those whatchamacallits between your spinal columns, causing your torso to look longer.

There are very few options to increase your height. If you have not finished growing, try to eat well and get a good mixture of sleep and activity.
If you have finished growing the only way to increase your height by lengthening your bones is through some specialized cosmetic orthopaedic surgery. A Russian specialist developed a type of external fixator now called Ilizarov rings where you can have your legs broken and the fixators applied and then the healing bone lengthened.
Hmmm looks like there might be a new thing on the market - the Taylor Spatial Frame?

Dear Candy, high heels are unhealthy and uncomfortable. Platform shoes are better, but I have also read of girls falling from them on their noses. A hat or a tall hairdo could add inches. Read in fashion textbooks about how to create the optical illusion of being taller. Try yoga or stretching exercises, because muscle tension can make you physically shorter. I hope some part of this advice will be helpful to you. Happy Feet

Its just the high heels and longitudinal strips pattern of ur clothes only can help...
Im sure you heard about the feet operation before where they break your bones to pieces and stick it up again w metal to get you taller...but its very risky, very expensive and it doesnt worth it at all.
How old are you?if you are under 17 years old, you are still growing...lots of milk and meat will help you grow taller
good luck:)

You can't. Are your parents tall? No? Then you will not be tall either. There IS very painful surgery you can get to lengthen your shin bones. Far better to learn to love yourself the way you are. Short girls are cuter anyways.

the easiest way is to stand up straight..watch your posture..no slumping over, rolling your shoulders, slouching or anything other standing straight up...shoulders down and slightly back...tummies pulled in...you'll be and look taller and very poised and confident...your mother was right..stand up straight!
