Grow Taller?

Yup another topic now, im 5'5. from family genes my mom and dad is pretty short. but i dont wanna stay 5'5 ! i wanna grow ! i'm trying to find a way on how to grow tall, right now im cutting out on my fat. and tryna keep my commitment on playing basketball. does anyone have any tips of what may help me grow taller? Serious Awnsers only.

Seriously, I don't think there's a way. If your still relatively young you will continue to grow for awhile.

Nope ... Most males stop growing at around 18-20 years old... Once you reach a certain height during growth periods then you're stuck there for life...

Don't get down about your height though... You're not too short... and it definitely shouldn't stop you from pwning in bball !

do it the old fashion way get to friends u trust and tell damn pull hard

i think you should stand under weak lighting maybe youll stretch

There is a cosmetic surgery that can be done to make you taller. It is done by cutting your legs, breaking the bones, and then over months slowly stretching them by turning screws in braces in your legs. Very painful, but, it can be done.

yup get a 20w cfl, stand under it and hope you'll stretch


Hilarious !

Your body stops growing at around 21.

So if you're older than that, you're not getting any taller

break your legs in several places...when they heal new bone will come in, giving you a few more inches...keep doing this over 8-10 years and you can be 7foot if ya want

5'5" n u play ball? lol that's not even fair

the chinese have a great method for this.

HAHAHHAA
yeah i ball, and im only 18 . people say i stop growing at 21,
stretching may help me grow taller

There is no possible way just stretching will make you taller ... Stretching does not stretch out your bones. lol

Yeah those Chinese, renowned for their colossal statures

Oh maybe he was talking about getting the surgery ...

That would be SOOOO ridiculous though. A lot of pain and rehab I imagine,..He probably wouldn't be able to play basketball for a couple years after it anyway. and I bet insurance won't cover the costs of it since it's cosmetic.

Seems like way too much trouble just because you're unhappy with an aspect of your looks.
