I think you def. can get taller if you are only 13. But don't worry if you don't, you can just be the point guard! That is a hard job on the court and if you become the best pg you can be well, need I say more? As for those who mock you because of your stature, I would say, I'm sorry that your insecurities about your body image leads you to make fun me. I am very happy with who I am so I see your mocking for what it is. ----- And let me tell you something I learned about people who make fun of others. They are hurting or they are being hurt. One of the worst people who made fun of me and I later learned many many people in high school, was being sexually molested by a brother and physically and verbally abused by an alcoholic father. (this family looked so perfect on the outside) noone had any idea what was going on. It is very sad that these things occur but it helps to know why people may do and say the things they do. Now back to your potential for growth. I will say that my husband is 6'2. I hear that he was about 5'6 in high school and did not grow until he went to college. He was a late bloomer. Are you eating your dairy? I believe that when Japan got access to more dairy products the average height in that country got taller. good luck.
do pull ups, or just hand on to the bar for a while, and deal with the tension and the pain, your body will litereally slowly stretch. youve gotta give it time though
Well I think you can realistically grow more...yor still very young...and uve not said youve had your growth spurt either
Im the tallest in my family (6ft) which to some isnt all that tall but everyone else in my family is around 5ft some taller some shorter...i wasnt much taller at your age and grown quite a bit over the past few years so theres still good hope for you
I also used to be really short :)....I drank lots of milk, and did tons of exercise like basketball and football.....(Also if you dont like milk, make a milkshake....its got otns of calcium too.)
Plenty of protein, calcium and zinc will help your DESTINED NORMAL growth and a deficiency can STUNT it. There is plenty of zinc in red meat, oysters, mussels, nuts, sunflower seeds and pumpkin seeds.
You will probably grow another 2 inches in the next 2 years.
