Hey guys, well im 17 years old, im about 170cm tall (5'5) and everybody is taller than me. i want to know if there is ways to get taller? id be happy with 5'8, is there things i can do in my diet? what foods should i eat? what excersizes should i do?

My parents are both shorter than me, id say there bout 5'3? or something, and how old do men grow till? i think im a late bloomer, considering ive been told i still look like a kid, going through puberty still i guess. anyways help would be appreciative!!
reply fast :P
 
How tall you will be is all genetics unfortunately. Your family doctor can tell if your growth plates are fused. There are two sets. One in your legs and the other is in your arms. When the plates are fused, then you are as tall as you are going to be. My guess is at 17 you are probabaly not going to get too terribly much taller, maybe an inch or more but that's about it.
 
i actually grew 1.5cm in a short period of time, seems that im still growing, was told that i may be in for another growth spurt ;)

ive been told streching and eatng good will help me grow, is dis true?
if so.. wat shuld i eat? ive been also eating less junk and more health as im trying to get abs.
 
Hi There,

Eating healthy and exercizing is what everyone should be doing. You cannot go wrong with that :) You should feel better, stronger and happier doing both whether or not you grow more in height.

(If only I could make myself do it LOL):D

Best wishes,

Males continue to "grow" until the age of 21, but there have been some cases that occurred until the age of 25, I believe.

Although it may feel awkward now (that's a part of adolescence), as you get older you'll find that women are attracted to healthy active men who are confident, kind, considerate, and fun! So eat right, exercise, don't smoke, and develop good solid friendships based on respect and good communication....and you'll find that height is not really an issue.
