I'm 14 and 5'3". it's ok and maybe average(is it?). but still I do have a passion for modeling and really want to get taller because in order to be a model you need to be around 5'7".
So please help me.
oh and I can't join a volleyball or a basketball class because I'm TOO busy.

First of all, you are only 14. You aren't done growing yet. There is nothing you can do to make yourself grow any taller or have it happen any faster. But it will continue to happen until you are 18-21 years old. So just be patient.

I don't see how joining a volleyball or basketball class is going to help you - your the second person I have heard say they thought playing basketball would make them taller. You are still in the growing stage and may still grow - it's depends on your genes and if your parents are tall, then you most likely will get taller. But don't worry if they are not. My parents were both 5ft and 5ft 1 and my brother and I are both well over sex feet. But our grandfather was tall and we figure we got his genes.

Eat a well balanced diet. You'll never reach your maximum height without getting all he nutrients you need. Make sure your bones are strong to, so drink at least 3 cups of milk a day.

Sorry hun, but it all depends on genes.
All you can do is to try and eat healthy (make sure you get lots of calcium) & exercise a little too. You can also be a petite model too you know. Good luck :]

Your genes and your nutrition determine how tall you grow (mostly your genes). It is unlikely you will grow much taller, if at all. There is nothing more you can do than to eat healthy and be sure to get all the nutrients you need.
People play basketball because they ARE tall. It does not make you taller.

you cant just make a wish and get taller, Im 14 and Im short and ive accepted the fact that Im not getting any taller. playing sports will not make you taller, by the way. So, you arent gonna get much taller, sorry.

Yep, it's all genetic. You're going to grow as tall as your genes let you, but don't dispair, you've probably got a few more inches in you seeing as how you're only 14.
