Getting taller!

Skyline4life · 05:10 PM

ok so i'm 5'5" mabey 5'6"ish and i hate being short..my car is stick and i need to have the seat all the way up to push the clutch in and i hate it, all of my friends tower above me..and my gf is like a half to an inch taller then me..

so my question is what can i do to become taller..I'm not talking about like implantes..

lol i hate being short, oh btw i'm 17 turning 18 in a few months..if that helps in anyway.

edit- btw my mom is short, but my dad is tallish and my brother who is 21 is about 5'8"ish maybe taller.

It's genetic. Don't worry about it. Other people don't care about it as much as you do.

don't worry about it. you have a girlfriend and friends so it's obviously not really a problem to anyone else.

there's nothing really you can do that's healthy other than accepting yourself.

i'd gladly give you three inches.
but i'm like 6'4"
and my dad's 6'6"
so i'll probably grow to that, maybe more.
i'm 17.

Atleast you're not me.

I'm 5'8" and in one of the, if not 'tallest' country in the world: The Netherlands.

this reminds me of that Simpsons episode where Bart wants to get taller so he can be Fallout Boy, so he ties his dog to his head and his cat to his legs and have them pull him apart

Men don't stop growing until they are 21. You still have time to have a growing spurt. My cousin was 18 and he was 5'2, when he turned 20 he was like 5'8 and everyone was trippin. The next year he was like 6'1 and he's tall as fuck now...It was wierrd.

You can talk to a doctor about injecting hormones. I know someone who did it in high school.

Americans stopped being the tall ones once immigration cut our genetic pool from the tall, white races down to a more diverse mix...the down-side of this being, we're not as tall any more, but we've a lot more variety.

(So, around the 1920s.)

Trust me, being tall isn't fun.

yep im 6'7 and its annoying sometimes, but i assume being really short would result in the same things, just opposite.

and theres nothing you can do about it.. so you just have to get over it..
