I think it has more to do with genetics I've never heard of anyone who could stop growing just because they thought about it hard enough..........Happy New Year

I think the mind can have an incredible amount of control over the body, but I do not believe it extends to the control of height. It's a good question, though. I have heard that people who have spent years training in meditation can alter their heartbeats and such.

I think you can stunt your growth with unhealthy activities, for sure. Smoking and not eating well are big ones. Mostly it is genetics. Please be good to your body... you get as big as your organs need it to. I don't know if you are unhappy with your height, but if you are - know that you are what you should be. Don't change your destiny. It may serve you in ways you don't know.

No. Growth is a body process that the conscious mind cannot control. Love yourself, love your height. The world lives tall people.

I think it is genetics how tall your mother is and how tall your father is and also parents siblings and your grandparents. However sometimes you do tend to grow in sperts. So you may still grow. Eat healthy as they say.

Your body won't stop growing, If you want to stop growing you have to smoke and do drugs.

its partially genetics and partially nutrition and how much you excersize. you can't 'will' yourself into stopping growing, unless you will yourself so hard you get all depressed and stop eating and you're so unhappy you're body starts to suffer.

It is genetic and diet.
If you refuse to eat at a young age then you can stunt your growth.
