Are you a guy or gal that usally depends on that. Anyway you could go to the doctors and get your bone in your hip (femor) checked. There are certain stages of growth that doctors can tell how many you have to go etc. Its not exact but more accurate than anything else.

sleep alot it makes you grow

no sorry...

how old are u, if your a girl, and your past 19, probably no, a guy past 25, no

how old are you?

stand on stilts

Well i dont think so if you had ur growth spurt then no u dont grow anymore

dude its genetics

r u a guy or a girl???
if you're a girl, wear heels (but 5'5 is a good height for girls)
if you're a guy, good luck.
theres no real way that works to make you taller.
sorry.
gl.

depending how old you are...most people are fully grown by the time they finish high school

there is no way to get taller than you will be. you'll probably get a few more inches taller depending on your age, though

iF YOU SMOKE, CONSIDER QUITTING.
IT STUNTS YOUR GROWTH !
(sorry about all the capitals!)

You didn't say how old you are. When you stop growing, you stop growing.

if the only person tall is your dad and grampa, then i doubt it!

Sure you can depends on how old you are but I know people who keep growing in their 30's

how old are you?
if your still a teen, then yes, you can grow and probably will. but you can do nothing that will assure it.

if your over 20 then you cannot because this is about the age when all women are fully grown.


hope that helps :)

You have a wide range of possibilities and since we don't know your sex or age its hard to say but somewhere between mom and pop most like.

hang on a tree branch for the rest of your life
gravity will help stretch you out

lots off loooove<33

5'5 is a normal height, you might grow just a bit, but depends how old are you, since u stop growing once u hit ur 20s

if you are a male and over 18 you will not get taller. If you are a girl and over 21 you will not get taller. But if you are either and under those ages prospectively, you will continue to grow. My son is taller than me and his father.

If you are a male under age 20, you can get taller with human growth hormone shots. You will need to ask your doctor about getting those.

If you are female, you would need to be younger than 14.

I'm 4'11" and i havn't got any taller for the past four years but its all about the genes and a matter of time. I think. Well drink alot of milk and you stop growing when you are 20, and it all depends of how old you are.

Drink alot of milk ^_^ (its what i did wrong)
but yea it does depend on how old u r now =_=

its really on genetics but also take daily vitamins to keep yourself strong, if youre younger than 18 you havent stopped growing, people say that you stop growing after you get your period, but the real time you stop growing is about the time after you turn 18

well there is not much you can do about genetics..but you can try to play sports that requires you to jump a lot like high jump in track and field or basketball. i know some people that actually ended up being taller than their parents by doing so..but it also depends on your age, as after 20 a human doesn't really grow anymore.

Depends on how old you are. If you are 16 or under you may get a tiny bit taller, but once you turn 18 you are pretty much the hight you are going to be for the rest of your life. 6'7 may be possible though. 5'5 is not short though, it is a normal height. if you were 5'2 or less then that is noticably short.

You achieve your maximum height with a well balanced diet. Sleeping only makes you taller for about 30 minutes, until your bones are compacted vertically again. Other than implants or special hormone pills, you cannot get taller past your genetics.

Yes. Have a look at this article...

Its very very extreme though......you are who you are...I wouldn't change it just for an extra few centimetres but each to their own.
