I'm sorry to have to tell you but there is no way that you can lengthen your spine. Your growth is controlled by the posterior pituitary gland located deep within your brain. There is no way to alter that or speed up your growth patterns.
Sorry :(

You haven't finished growing. You are twelve years old and you won't hit your maximum height until your early twenties. There is no safe way to alter your growth patterns.

How previous are you? as quickly as you're youthful than 20, do now no longer undertaking approximately it. only enable puberty take its direction. as quickly as you're a grown guy the only ingredient i'll think of of of must be to artificially seem taller, eg. with the shoes you place on.
