Answer 1

Best thing you can do is eat plenty of protein and calcium, avoid all junk food, stay healthy, and get plenty of exercise and sleep (most growing takes place when you are asleep).

But really there is nothing wrong with 5'8", and you're only 16, so you will probably still grow at least another inch or two.

If growing taller is important enough to take medical risk, you could go to the doctor, and have them do an x-ray of your growth plates in your wrists/ankles and see how much growing time you have left. Then they can give hormones to keep the plates open (if they are still open) so that you can grow more than you would have naturally.

But that is risky, (and expensive since it isn't a medical necessity, no insurance covers it) and since you are obviously reasonably tall, I doubt a doctor would want to risk the potential side effects for just wanting to be a tall man, rather than an average height man.

Finally, you can easily get an inch lift with special shoes that have the lifts on the inside. On the outside, they look normal, but they have like a reverse heal inside, that makes you taller. Given your height and age, and your parents' heights, you will probably get to around 5'10". So a regular dress shoe with one inch on the outside, and a hidden inch on the inside, will get you to 6 feet.

Answer 3

You are just sixteen so i believe with time you grow ton be the 6'0 you want. you stop growing taller when you are about 21. don't worry you have about 5 years to be the giant you want to be

Answer 4

If you are a male, you probably have some growing left to do. Some men still grow taller in their early 20's. However, there's nothing you can do to control how tall you get, other than avoiding things like caffeine and cigarettes, which are rumored to stunt growth.

You could still grow taller, but if not, it wasn't meant to be and there's nothing you can do about it, so be happy with who you are.

Answer 5

Sorry kid, most of that is genetics. Just eat healthy foods (lots of veggies and fruit), and be very aware of your posture. If you curl your shoulders in or slouch, it will affect your spine and make you seem shorter. If you work to make sure you sit and stand up straight, you can gain an inch or two in your height. And of course, wearing shoes with a thick sole will give you a little bit extra. ;)

Answer 6

Hang upside down from a monkey bar 1 hour a day.

Guaranteed to give you 2 inches a year.

Answer 7

Keep hanging like a monkey, and I promise u to get taller by the days...

You will still have a chance until u get 21 anyway...

Your height is NOT BAD AFTER ALL...

Answer 8

although you might grow a couple more inches, you can't do anything to make yourself taller. how tall you get depends on the genes you inherited. make sure you eat healthy so you can grow as tall as your genes are programmed.

Answer 9

you cant really do anything to affect how tall youll be - except get your legs broken and put in special stretchy things, but thats painful and expensive

just eat well and exercise for the best chance of reaching 6ft

Answer 10

hang upside down for a loooooooong time. just kidding. you can't MAKE yourself grow. it's already pre-determined in your genes. so good luck, you can always make yourself grow out, just not up. or you could put heel lifts in your shoes.
