The question of tallness is determined by genes (genetic). Therefore, there is nothing you can do to make yourself grow taller. Instead get yourself a good dose of self-esteem and be proud of who you are and what you accomplish in this life. That way, your height will be totally immaterial. Good luck.

Tell your family that, statistically, tall people die younger than short people! You can't do much. Just stay healthy, keep the weight down, and the abb and back muscles strong, so you stand erect.

Wife had a nephew they gave growth hormones to. He was a little kid, now 6 feet tall.

You can still grow. My son grew 5 inches when he was 18.

I'm sorry but there is nothing you can do, and another thing why did you say cm at first then said ft later when describing your parents?
