Any way to make me taller?

Question

I'm 13 years old and 80 pounds. I stand at 4'8, and I really, really hate it. I'm always teased about my height and it really sucks because height isn't something I can control, but people are always calling me midget, shorty, ect.

Is there any natural way to enhance my height? I'm in 8th grade, and next year I'm going to go to high school and I don't want to be teased even more there. I know diet and good exercise "helps" but there is there anything else?

I'm the shortest of all my friends...I'm not even 5'0 yet! I don't think I've hit my growth spurt yet, and I may never will...(how much do you grow in a spurt anyway?) Please, PLEASE help!

Oh yeah, I've hit puberty and got my period 3 months ago....I've heard that once you get it you only have a year to grow, is that true?

Answer 1

I reached puberty @ age 12 & didn't grow, I'm 5'0.
I'm sorry kids are teasing you, I know Middle School can be hard. I have to say in High School, I got all the tall boys.
Opposite attract, I was never short of boyfriends. It will get better. Check & see how tall your female relatives are (mom, sister or aunt), this will give you a better idea...how tall you will get... :)

Answer 2

ok im 14 and ive already hit my growth spurt i think i grew about 5 in ... not sure,,,, i am currently in 8th grade and standing only 4'10 ive already been told that i will not reach 4'11 so i no exactly how you feel. recently i have become perfectly fine with my height and accepted the fact that i will always be small...i dont know if there is anything to make you taller... if yu havent started puberty or just started you still have a few more inches to grow... heyy also i have looked at it this way ,,,, being small you can fit into like any small place, guys tend to like shorter women, little children tend to relate to you better nad like you much more.... adn about you being teased i get it all the time... i just look the person stern in the eyes(looking up of course lol) and say dont you dare underestimate a a short person, we may be small but short people have to fight more battles and become stronger,,,, i may be short but i aint weak

darling ur only 13....u got morre years to go and u might end up being taller than the onez that have teased you/teasing u

first look at ur family....if they are ALL short then therz a massive chance in u being short...but if they are average hieght then u will be as well

you can do stretches every morning and drink milk to strenthen bones, so it will grow..and its also ur diet...so dont eat the baad stuff (it will slow your growth down).

but i wanted to say this from this begining....be gratefull for what you have got...ther are ppl who havnt got legs, and u are complaining that ur not tall, at least you can walk,run and play...so plz plz be gratefull for what u got. u dont know how much something means to you until it is gone.
