Could I grow taller than my brother?!


Question: Could I grow taller than my brother?
Okay so both my parents are 5"2' without shoes (yeah I know that's short for a man) my older brother is 5"6'. Is it possible for me to be 5"7-8". I am 13 years and 9 months years old.

Answers:

There have been some studies that suggest that first born children are slightly shorter than their younger siblings. So, yes, it's more likely than not that you will be 1/2" to 1" taller than your older brother. In practice, results may vary. There are many variables, but chances are good you will be taller.

Sleep required varies by age. Some teenagers may require up to 10 hours of sleep. The calcium in milk is very important, but keeping your body in the best of shape with exercise and eating from all of the five food groups is also very important.

My brother and I are among the tallest in the family and we ate lots of foods most wouldn't... salad, broccoli, lima beans, kidney beans... with decent portions of meat, bread, etc. Basically, the five food groups.

But this one actually does. It Works as advertised. Also, this specific product advertises improved joint health. I injured my knee and could find no relief, but after 3 weeks of using it I no longer have knee pain. I have tried other height gaining products, but I have seen the best results from this product. My height continues to grow.



Anyhing is possible - but no guarantee's.
Genetics rule - you cannot re-program genetics.
You cannot MAKE yourself grow taller.
Don't worry about stuff you have no control over.



Depends. If your immediate and extended family are all short, you'll probably never pass 5'9-5'10.



Well, how tall are you now?
Chances are, you are going to be short.



My sister used to be always taller then me but when I turned around 15 or 16 I just shot up! we were all supprised when we noticed it.



Its possible. But there is NO way for anyone on here to answer that for you.



Yes, it's possible. Do you believe you're still in Kansas?
