your friend has a very common problem that can only be dealt with phsycologicly, what i mean is.....use cute slang terms as good come backs...such as.....i'm not short, i am underheight.....or.....i'm not short, your eyeballs are shrinking.....i know this is not the answer you are looking for but the only thing that your friend can do is try to tolerate mockery from others.....i mean, gee, im 5'2" and i am 30, short can be good and sometimes not, just tell your friend that those that you can't laugh at...you have got to try to laugh with them....cuz small minded people just don't know any better...

Dang, High school years are hard. Kids start looking akward and others are so mean. However, I believe that height is a thing you inherit. Some people just never get tall. Sometimes people are late bloomers. He may get a growth spirt soon. Either way, it's hard, but maybe he sould just learn to be ok with himself. I know realisticly it's hard for teenagers to think that way. So best of luck to your friend.
Well, you can tell him to not do things that will stunt his growth. (like body building or doing drugs!)

You don't. It's all part of the growing process and at the age of 16, he's not done growing. In a few more years, he may sprout more he may not. But you don't make yourself taller. It has to come naturally.

get new genes, thats about it, i suggest that he stops focusing on height and looks at some better aspects like whether he has a big ####. You know, some small trees can have big trunks.

if he goes to the gym or works out a lot to get himself a muscular look, that might be the problem, over-doing it does not help... take plenty of sleep, stretch etc. He'll grow...

Nope. Nothing can make you taller. It's ok to be shorter than average... people that make fun of him are probably not feeling too hot about themselves..
can you answer my question please since i answered yours?
