I believe girls stop growing taller at 18. To be honest there isn't much you can do to increase your height. My suggestions that probably won't work but what do you have to lose right? Drink more milk and take some sort of Vitamin. Usually height is genetics. So I think you will be around 5 foot to 5'1" at best...Good Luck

stretch, drink milk

Id have to say if you have had a period, chances are you wont get any taller, but please dont worry about it, I bet your as cute as a button!

Why would you want to? Short girls are hot!

i think growth stop at 21 or 22 , i don't think there is away to be taller , oh but did i tell u that i like short girls ? :)

I heard sneezing helps. Apparently when you sneeze your bones and muscles stretch, ever so slightly of course, but when you sneeze approximately once a day, it all builds up and you should become taller.

And to answer 'how much longer will I grow for' - as long as you keep sneezing you should keep growing.

Unfortunately you have grown about all you are going to, most women stop growing around 18 or 19. The only way to truly get taller is a very painful procedure that will add a couple of inches. They go in and break the bones in your legs, then they insert a device and every few weeks you go to the doctor and he turns this thing breaking your legs again. What it does is keeps your bones apart and new bone material grows in between the bones lengthen your legs. They can only do it a little at a time so it take awhile and it hurts. You are also in a wheelchair the entire time.

people sayy to drink lots of milk before bed

n have more den enuff sleep

my cuzin tried it she went up 3 cmzz

I would suggest high heel shoes.Who wants to be tall anyway? I think you are the perfect height.Stop worrying

I am exactly the same and i HATE it!
I have been to a doctor and a naturopath and both have recommend i could take hormone growth supplements.
I chose the natural ones because the medical ones are injections that yoo have every month. The natural "drops" i am taking now are ethanol and growth supplement. Every morning and night i put ten drops of it under my tongue and cant eat for ten minutes. It has worked i used to be shorter then 4 11" but have grown since taking them. Consult yoor naturopath =]

I'm 16 and I'm only 5"1, and truthfully speaking, neither of us is going to grow much taller. Maybe one or two inches or so, but that's about it. 18-21 is when most girls stop growing and since you're already 17, well the highest you're probably going to reach is around my height. Not to be negative, but you know, that's how life works.

If your parents are short as well then just resign yourself to the fact that you aren't going to grow much taller. But if they're tall... well, you might have a chance, although it's unlikely that you'd have a growth spurt at this age.

Drink a lot of milk- calcium helps bones to grow, and strengthens them too- and exercise and keep yourself fit and healthy. :)

well....i suggest u to have enough sleep, eat a balance diet preferably grow foods, and take some vitamins particularly "cherifer " ...i'm not just really sure of the spelling......heheheh

Tie your arms to one car, tie your legs to another, then get the two cars to drive off in opposite directions.

I heard you could take a pill or something and then you start growing.im not very sure.Since your 17 you might not get any taller.

you should always happy, go to yoging daily...
