Grow taller in your mind. Tom Cruise, the "sexiest man alive" for umpteen years, is short. Ditto for super-athletes like Spud Webb and Walter Payton, and super-entertainers like Prince.
"Tall" is all about how you carry yourself and how you feel about yourself. Here's hoping you top out at 6'3", but make no mistake: you can be 5'5" and still have everyone looking up to you.
If you're still stuck on literal physical tallness, just eat healthy.

Your maximum potential height is determined by your genetics at the moment of conception. Malnutrition, accident of injury, drugs and toxins may prevent you reaching that potential, but nothing can cause you to exceed it.
Growth ceases between 14 and 20 years, after that the growth plates or epiphyses of the long bones have fused, and no further increase is possible.

one person above said growth hormone which is also what i was thinking, i want to grow taller aswell, and this website is useful- it talks about the growth hormone called somatropin which increases growth i think, but i dont know if your doctor could prescribe this to u or if it is even allowed, but heres the site anyway.

in my opinion,the best way is to sleep well and consumed any foods that comtain high amounts of calcium.
before the i've always been sleepin at 2-3a.m daily but since the exams, i slept at 11.30 and i've grown 1 cm in just like 2 months..
calcium helps to. growing kids need 1000mg of calcium daily..
