Is there any way that I can get taller because I'm short for my age , I'm barely even 5 feet and most people in my classes are about 5 feet 5 inches. I don't feel like I'm getting any taller. I know that you have to get at least 8 hours of sleep so that... But I usually sleep about 5 hours. Is there any way that i can get taller NATURALLY? Not like in a month, but just like in 3-4 years. I'M DESPARATE!!!!

Oh yeah, and my mom is about 5 feet and 4 inches; my dad is about 6 feet (he's the tallest out of his family); my younger sister is about 5 feet 4 inches or more!

I'm 13 and I'm 4'11! lol, not even 5 feet. i know how you feel. my friend is 11 and she's 5'2. I don't think I'm growing at all, either.
I've been the same height since 4th grade... I wish I were taller too. I don't know any natural ways to get taller, sorry! :(.. Do you eat healthy food? oh ya... that 8 hours of sleep thing. Lol, i probably get only 6. If you have a petite body, then being short is cute!

Im 13 years old, 5"9 and going into 9th grade. I don't think you're that short, also you stop growing at like 20, so don't worry.

People grow at different ages. You will grow and probably be as tall as the rest of your classmates. 13 is early for growth. I grew 7 inches in less than one year between 13 and 14. How tall are your parents? Do you have brothers and sisters, and if so how tall are they? You should be about the same height as the rest of your family.

You could be lacking a certain nutrient or protein in your glands that help your growth.
Your genes say you don't get taller 'till much later. (You're only 13)
Enough calcium and fiber, vitamin C, B, K or deficiencies?
More sleep? Try staying off myspace for a while huh.
Gdfrbd, thyroid problem.
Dwarfism? Unlikely though.
Again, you're only 13.

Some people are just short, dont worry about it! Im 17... a senior in highschool and im 5'2. I was only 4'11 when i was your age. Its nothing to worry about. Look at it this way, Guys dont like girls who are taller than them. It makes them feel insecure. So you will just have a wider rage of possible dates.

Sweetheart, when I was 13 I would have killed to be only 5 foot!
There is probably little you can do to naturally increase your height. Except to use human growth hormones or had leg lengthening surgery.

you should go see your Doctor and a blood test to check your growth hormone level they might help
but if already have had your period you might not get any taller
usually once you have had your period you stop growing
hope this helps
( don't worry i am also very short and around your age)
