at 18 you are 5' 4 1/2. Males grow until 21 in majority cases. Growth will be fast only up to 18, then becomes slow and stops around 21 years. Eating healthy food is OK. Apart from this you have to do some exercises. To gain height, best option is swimming, and cycling. If you follow both (diet & swimming) you are expected to reach 5.7 to 5.8 at yours 21st birth day. Good luck my boy. (please do not take growth hormones).

ignore tommy. I was the shortest guy in my school year for years (ok well second shortest) and i hated it. I only started growing when i hit 17 and now im 5'8. Dont worry about bein short mate you hate it now but you will get used to it.Get yourself a nice short gf and mates who arent 10 foot tall and u wont be paranoid about it as much. I know what ur goin through though but dont worry about it.

well, the good news is, youre only 18, and some males continue growing after that...but, I don't think there is a way you can gain height after you stop growing. But 5'4? Damn. I thought I was short at 5'6.

definite, stretching workouts do help. a marginally regular concept is leaping or skipping. Its incredibly hassle-free and doesnt consume plenty time. bypass/leap approximately an hour or 2 in the previous nutrition time. initiate with approximately 50 or hundred in the previous each meal (approximately thrice an afternoon) and gradually boost it to approximately 3 hundred or 4 hundred over each week. follow it for extra or less 6 months.I used to do 3 hundred in line with consultation-900 jumps in line with day and further inches to my top. it works in case you r in ur boost spurt. Even in any different case its properly worth attempting! ideal needs!

You can waste your time reading all of that long-winded tripe above, but in the end you have to realize that there is nothing that can be done to increase your height.
It is a natural process.
