Could I Grow Taller?


age: 14 (will turn 15 in 2 months)
height: 5'6 1/2- 3/4" (depends on if i did a few exercise classes or whatever)
weight: is normal and healthy

i'm female- got my period @ 12 1/2 (height was 5'4 or so)

fam's height:
mom- 5'10
dad- 6'2
bro (13)- 5'9 (told he will be 6'4 or so)

grandparents:
g.ma 1- 5'6
g.ma 2- 5'7
g.pa 1- 5'8
g.pa 2- 6'

my family on my fathers side is averaging around 5'8

my family on my mothers side is averaging around 5'9 or so.

my doctor says i have another inch or two to grow...

how tall do you reckin' i will be and when?
any ideas? i'm stressed out about this due to activities at school...anything you reccommend i could do? pills? insoles?

if i lost weight?
i'm pretty healthy- i don't eat out much and i drink a lot of calcium, i take tablets for vitamins...did i do something wrong?

it just bugs me that i want to be taller, and am following a healthy childhood/teenage years and i feel short against my fam. it just bites...

ur almost 5'7! What heck are u complaining for? That is pretty darn good if you ask me! Try being 5'1 like me, my bro at the age of 16 is 6'5, imagine how I feel next to him! I think I should be the one complaining here! From what you wrote ur whole family seems pretty tall so you likely will get taller. Girls keep growing till they are at least 16 or 17. Ur actually tall for your age, god when I was 14 I was only like 4'11 so ur doing pretty dam good don't worry!. I'm 27 and its way too late for me so count ur blessings that ur still growing!

You still have plenty of time.
Usally women dosn't stop growing until their mid 20's.
My little sis-in law shot up when she turn 16.
She is now 5' 12" / 6'

You'll probably finish growing before you're 18, but some people still grow after that. My doctor said i might grow some more, but im only 5'4 and i guess it's shorter, but i wanna be taller. haha...Yo'ure lucky! You're doing just fine too!

More than likely you are near your full height. Generally girls stop growing just a few years after they begin their menstrual cycle.

I am shorter than you are. But I do pray every night that I wake up with an extra 6 inches to my legs. That way I can smooch with my sweetie better..and not have to strain my neck when I yell UP at my kids. LOL...they are 6'2" and 6'

make the most while your still growing. drink growing up pills, but do not overdose because it might reverse the effect (not grow anymore). exercise, and focuse on stretching. try swimming. drink milk to make the bone strong, get proper and enough sleep. :)

hi dreamer
I found this site on the Internet,
http://gettallerforfree.googlepages.com/
It's a free site which claims that it could increase your height by many inches whatever is your age,
first I didn't believe it then i decided to try the program as i wont lose anything( it's totally free) now after 3 monthes i gained 2.5 inches and i am still growing(i'm 22yrs old)
The exercises are easy and very effective for any age(As they say),it can increase your height up to 5 inches, every one who wants to get taller should check this great site .

The average height for a 14 year old girl is 160cm - 5'3" so your a little over average and shouldnt worry.

yes u can grow taller, your only 14 almost 15, some people dont stop growing until they are about 18, some carry on growing into their 20's.

It's about this age that you will probably have a groth spurt which means you will grow a lot faster than normal, puberty has started and has a big effect on your growth.

Losing weight isnt going to make you grow, starving yourself of food will actually stop you from growing, the body needs food to grow, just carry on eating healthy an dont worry about it.

I'm only 5'3" and 28 years old so i've got no chance of growing any taller, so be happy about your height.

I have been 5'4" since the 5th grade. My family members are 5'10"-6'5"--even my grandma. Everybody thought I would be tall, but nope, just average height. Brothers and cousins (and my children) like to call me shorty, etc, and I tell them somebody in the family had to get the brains. LOL

Yes, you will grow taller you don't stop growing until your 18 yrs old. I don't know how much taller just know you haven't stop growing yet.

women dont stop growing till they're 21 sometimes as late as 24 so you have lots of time you could hit a growth sprut in the next couple of years

lol girls grow for 4-6 years after they get their period.
