Answer 1

wear flipflops more and flats

Answer 2

No, there's not. I am 5'8" and I always wanted to be shorter. I slouched my whole way through school. I ended up w/ back pain and lousy posture that I still have to exercise to improve/ maintain still as a grown woman. As you get older, you will find most all women will envy your height. I get, "I'd kill to be as tall as you" all of the time. Just embrace it. As long as you maintain good posture and walk proud, it really is an advantage on life- though some will be intimidated by it. I am very thin but would hate to be really short AND thin as I wouldn't feel I had as much presence. NO offense to those that are, that's just how I would personally feel I believe.

Answer 3

I don't believe so. I know that they can make people taller by operating on their legs. If you are still growing you can talk to a doctor and perhaps stop the growth. However, that is usually in rare cases where it is part of another disease. The better question might be why don't you like being tall. Being tall is awesome! Many associate the image of being tall with being assertive and knowledgeable. People might take you more seriously as well.

Answer 4

im a girl and im 5 foot 11 inches. there is nothing that will make u shorter, but honestly, y would u wanna be. be thankful that u r tall. maybe u could be a model if u wanted to. how many short people can say that? the best thing u can do is just wear clothes that r more flattering to your body shape/height

Answer 5

Coffee MAY stunt one's growth, but it won't reduce height that one has already reached. Slumping won't help, either. So tell yourself you're a goddess, stand up straight, and wear high heels, big prints, and clunky jewelry that would weigh a smaller woman down! And remember what Margaux Hemingway said: Men may be six feet tall, but girls are five foot twelve.

Now if you're WELL over six feet, it might be a good idea to have a check-up to make sure your height isn't connected to any medical problem.

Answer 6

Give it a few years, don't drink your milk, make sure you keep clear of anything that has calcium or vitamin D. Osteoporosis will kick in and you'll start shrinking.

Get real! My sister is nearly 6 feet tall and she loves it. There is an organization in Texas called The Tall Texans Association. Maybe they have something like that where you live.

If you ask any girl, she will probably tell you that she only WISHED she could be taller. Enjoy your blessings.

Answer 7

lol sorry hun drinking coffee will not help your height, you are stuck at however tall u are at the mo. Ive heard its great to be taller and now more guys are looking for that taller 'someone special' so keep your eyes peeled ;) :D have fun x

Answer 8

heroine will break down the structure of your bones.

drawback is by the time you notice the shortening you will be addicted to heroine or already dead.

you could chop off your legs at the knees and get short artificials.

edit - try tackling a brick wall or 300 lb lineman a few times until you compress a few disks in your back, I lost an inch of height that way (although I now have problems working in places with concrete floors due to excessive shock on the lower part of my back, and carrying things for extended periods of time ie... children and construction materials, or transporting electronics without carts/dollys)
otherwise I wouldn't worry about it, most guys like taller women. means longer legs to admire ;-)

Answer 9

Nothing will make you shorter. Haven't you ever heard of tall women embracing their beauty? Don't waste time beating yourself up about nothing. Learn to love yourself, even if this does sound cheesy and cliché.
Do you think people would actually love you more if you were shorter? of course not!

Answer 10

Coffee doesn't work, honey. Time will - we all lose an inch or more as we get old and our spines compress. But in the meantime, you need to learn to love yourself. Tall people get noticed more and find it easier to progress in their careers. Short people hate being short (a lot of them - not all). But most important, stand up tall or else you will look awful. Be proud of yourself; you're lovely.

Answer 11

you can't get taller or shorter by any drink or excerise. be happy you are tall: you can actually block people in basketball, you will be able to reach the shoulders of the person you're dancing with, and most importantly you won't have people's butts in your face when they walk in front of you. embrance your tallness!
