how can i grow my height? i am 14 and look like 10?

Answer 1

You are still young. Your height will increase in time. Let nature and your genes take care of it. You are just a young male adolescent who worries much of his height. Just be patient and you will see.

Note: I will rephrase your question. It should be "How will my height increase? I am a 14 year-old boy with physical features of a 10 year-old. The answerers will understand your question in this way.

Answer 2

Some people shoot up at 14, i know a girl who was 5'4 as a 14 yr old, now she is 5'9!! But it is true, some people really slow down at 14. Are you a girl or boy? If you are a boy then don't worry, you will have a growth spurt soon, if you are a girl then you should know that the later you get your period the taller you will be. It is true that your maximum potential height is in your genes, but to reach that you have to eat plenty of healthy food. Just look at your parents.

Answer 3

Part of it is genetics and the other part is your environment. I think your max height is determined by genetics and to achieve that max height is determined by your environment.

So bottom line - eat healthy, and get enough sleep and you should be able to reach your full height potential - especially when you're having your growth spurt.

And as for the old wives tale, milk makes you taller...not sure about that but the calcium does help but I'd say drink it anyways just not too much because of the fat/cholesterol if you're watching that or drink skim or whatever lol.

Answer 4

omgg same here.
i asked my oc today cu i went in for a check up.
he said that its all in the genes(hereditary) meaning you get it from your parents and your stuck wit what you got.

you can go to google and type in "height predictor" and you should find a site that will predict your height if you put in your height and your parents heights. it works too.

but like yah, i know it sucks being short but my ma says that like eventually i will like being shorter or i will hit a sudden growth spurt. but i mean height doesnt age us --our looks do.
so maybe try a new make up or wear your hair diffrently. maybe a diff style...

i hope i helped ya out =]


peace!

Answer 5
