people start to shrink as they get older.

Yes indeed, my dad was 5-11" when I was growing up. I grew to just 5-7".
I saw his stature shrink after around his 70th year until at age 87 he was much shorter than me about, 5-4".. He lost seven inches!
I cannot explain my father's problem but I can tell you this, it happened to my mother too--- only not nearly as much as my father, she lost about three inches..
I am now 84 and have only shrunk about a half inch. It sometimes happens to oldsters.

no their is no way for you to get shorter.. but you will once you get older like 70's or 80s..
And why would you want to be shorter!! that's crazy so many guys would give anything to be taller and you were blessed with it and you want to be smaller now thats weird!.
People actually go through surgery to get taller. Be happy your tall!.

It's a bit too little too late for that. You should've tried to stunt your growth when you first began to get tall. They say that smoking a lot and drinking coffee when you're in your early teens prevents you from becoming tall. Also, guys who begin working out in their early teens cause their growth to get stunted.

males will keep growing untill they are 21 but when you hit 35 , slowly but surely you start to shrink again and by the way...
I wish I was as tall as you !

hmm that is a weird question

some people get their growth spurts later than other people, so you might as well be taller than them,
