I Wish I were taller?!


Question: I Wish I were taller?
I'm turning 18 this year, and I'm 5'8". Not that it's bad, per se. But my grandfather's 6'3", and my dad's 5'10" (and how on earth did that happen, I wonder). So going by that, would it be safe to assume that I will be stuck at 5'8" for the rest of my life? I haven't grown AT ALL in over a year now, so I wouldn't expect to grow much over the next few. My girl cousin is an inch taller than me, so it's weird how cleanly the tallness gene missed me - and a little depressing, for the usual reasons.

In this regard,
1. Is it true that caffeine stunts growth? I drink coffee every day. Somewhere I read that this is a myth, but you can never be too sure.
2. Can physical exercise and adequate sleep improve your chances of growing?

Answers:

Well to start off your already tall! Hmmm now to answer questions:
1. I don't really think that coffee stunts your growth but I do think that as you get older it makes you shrink. My mom is living proof! Once 5'6"...now 5'2".
2. I do know that the fitter you are the taller you appear. Try looking up some stretches as well that might stimulate growth.
Finally your only 18. Most guys don't stop growing until their 21-24. Just because your not growing now, doesn't mean you won't in the future. Hope I helped!!
