Hello, None N, Your height is determined a lot by the height of your parents as well as the height of THEIR paents!. You will keep growing till you're 25!! It's true! Females stop at age 21!. Here are a few tips to help you along the way:
Drink 3 glasses of any kind of milk a day!.
Eat lots of protien!. Lean meat, chicken, fish, eggs, cheese, nuts!.
Eat your veggies! Whatever you like!. Frozen, steamed, canned or raw!. V-8 Juice is great as well as V-8 Fusion!.
Stand up straight! Good posture can add 2 inches!
Don't be a couch potato! Jumping rope is good, but playing basketball is the best!. And walking is wonderful!. Gradually work up to 25 minutes or more, without stopping!. Walk briskly, enjoy the scenery, the you be the first to say "hi" to other passing walkers!. It'll make you feel great!. Getting a walking partner is fun, but not necessary!.
You probably have a couple growth spurts coming, as well as gradual growing!.
Your future is looking brighter now, right!?!?! Good! Just always be thankful for all you've been given!. Bless you and Good luck! :)Www@Answer-Health@Com

No!. You are stuck with the height that the disease of genetics gives you!.

There are some surgeries that can be done, but they are both expensive and painful- breaking the legs, opening the gap a few millimeters to heal, rinse, repeat until desired size!. However, this kind of approach is done when one bone is damaged (like a femur or leg bone) and can no longer grow in order to match the height- and it isn't even done in most cases due to the pain, costs and inconvenience!.

You can STUNT your growth through malnutrition, but it has to be some pretty serious malnutrition!.

I have a friend who was 4'11" until the beginning of senior year!. At the end of senior year he was almost a foot taller- 5'10"!. So you may still have a little left in you!. Understand, you are at about average adult male height right now!.Www@Answer-Health@Com

No!.

Height is defined by your genetics!. You can limit your potential growth by eating poorly (since food is the raw materials your body uses to manufacture itself, if you short yourself in vital nutrients, you can, literally, short yourself), but you can't make yourself grow taller!.

You could just as easily go back in time and make your mother marry someone taller so you have access to taller genes -- yes, that's impossible, and so is doing something that makes you grow!.

Don't worry too much though!. It's rare for people to have stopped growing by 14, so you likely have some growth yet to go!. If you're male (can't tell from your name or lack of avatar pic) then you nearly certainly have growth spurts yet coming to you; guys keep growing longer than girls do, many on into the college years!.Www@Answer-Health@Com

No!. Theres nothing you can do about that!. When youre born, the Doc's can already tell how tall you are going to be, it's just something thats already made up for you!. You are already taller than me :(!.!.!.

The average person stops growing at 27 years old!. I stopped getting taller about late high school!. Then i just got wider !!!Www@Answer-Health@Com

If you are a male, you are still growing!.
Some males continue growing into their late teens or even early 20s!. But, growth spurts come at different times for different people!.

As for jumping rope, it will not make you taller, but it will make you healthier and more fit!.Www@Answer-Health@Com
