My family is all tall. And by tall I mean 6+ feet. I am a 18 year old high school senior male that is currently 5'4 (163cm) and i am the oldest of 2 siblings. They are all already 6 feet. I checked my doctor a few days ago and he said I'm only going to be 5'5. Naturally, I was devastated. I don't care if people think I should get over myself because I won't. I have tried for 18 years and never a day where I never thought of height. I need to get to at least 5'8 or 5'9. I have horrible luck with girls even with the ones that are about 4'11-5'4. I see many of them dating guys over 6 feet. My younger brother can get girls easy and makes fun of me for it (and im in better shape than him wow). So my question is how do I get taller? I will take growth hormone if i have to.

You can't do a thing about getting taller.
A doctor can prescribe growth hormone, but unless you are severly deformed, chances are he won't.
Learn to live with it. Lots of guys love shorties!

Tink~ GO TO SLEEP! Get more rest cause that is when your body gets a chance to grow. If you don't get enough sleep, sorry, you will grow...short!!!!!
Lil' Red~ I completely agree with Tink. But I also want to add that eating lot of protein, expecially peanut butter, will help a LOT!!! I used to date a really short dude, and all he ate was sugar! I'm 5'4" right now and just started growing, but I don't get much sleep. But ever since I was 3, a constintly ate cheese, peanut butter, cottage cheese (one of the best sorces of protien on earth!!!) and stuff like that!
P.S. Those girls must be silly to make fun of you because you're a bit on the short side....you're taller than an 8th grader!!!!

It is possible that you can grow taller. You can still be growing in your 20's. I knew of a guy in my high school (many moons ago) that was about your height. Well, at our 10 year reunion 2 years ago, he was about my height and I 5'10". Anything is possible!! You are still a growing boy and by the way...short men are SEXY!!!! I used to date a guy that was 5'4" and he was a HOTTIE!
