some doctors say that you can grow about a 5th- a 8th of an inch taller by staying bed for a month as much as you can (meaning ay down) only get up to use the restroom or something nessacery
it reliefs stress on your ankle muscles allowing them to extended a little bit not much but a little but if your past your growing phase you can only gain back what you lost.(its been noted that a marathon runner can actually be 1/2" shorter than they where after running a long marathon)TAKE YOUR VITAMINS EAT HEALTHY

Well you don't really say how old you are! Milk doesn't make you taller, it just makes your bones stronger because of the calcium. My boyfriend is 5'4 and he's 18. I seriously don't think you have anything to worry about! Besides, shorter guys are cute =] Don't feel bad about being short. My mom said some boys she knew in high school were short, then she ran into them after she graduated and they were way taller! You really aren't that short, anyway.

Sleep as much as you can. Stretch out alot and like everyone else says, if your friends call you short, they arent good friends. Trust me, im 15 and 5'10 and i was concerned about my height when i was 14 (5'8 At the time) so i decided to sleep more and eat healthy and i think it worked..

Hmm...i think stretching ur legs day and night will help cuz that worked for me,really.Of coz sports games such as basketball,badminton work too but i never do them instead of stretching hehe.Ah and my dietician friends also claimed that lack of sleeping will surely effect ur physical development.So head for bed on time.

Your genes make you who you are Physically.
Be thankful for who you are.
I want to be taller than my dad, but I am not because my grandparents are short.
Be thankful that you are who you are. If your friends say your too short, then they aren't good friends.
Please don't make you life's goal to make your friends happy. You are who you are. A true friend would accept that.
