I am 15 years old and 5 ft 2 inches. All of my friends and brothers and sisters are taller than me! My mom is 5'1 and my dad is 5'8. What can I do or eat to grow taller?

You're only 15. You will grow naturally within the next few years. Chill out.
You won't stop growing until you're 18.

Your eventual height is preprogrammed into your genetic code and you can't change it. Once you're out of your teen years you probably won't even think about your height at all. I'm 5' 10" and when I was your age I hated it. Now it's much later and I haven't given my height a thought for years and years. The same thing will happen to you.

I still grew about two inches after I was 15. You still have time to grow, in the meanwhile, eat healthy, take care of yourself, and don't worry about it because you can't really change what will happen.

TRUST ME. you don't want to be taller. I am 15 and 6 feet tall. I hate it because I am always looking down on my friends and whenever I meet someone new they always ask "wow how tall are you??" It gets REALLY old. Plus there are NO decent guys (unless you don't care about dating someone shorter than you) I am miserable because of it so I suggest being happy with your height.

I might no longer doubt it if there are efficiency enhancement medicines like that. For the tens of thousands of bucks they're paid, I am definite anything might be used to get an expertise.

Eat a healthy diet and take zinc supplements. Zinc plays an important role in growth.

Milk is good for the bones. Drink milk and it will help them grow stonger; bones are the framework of your body and stong bones will help you stand taller.
