is there a way for me to grow taller? i've been feeling really short
lately. i'm shorter than almost all of the people i know, and would like to become
a little taller. i'm like 5'0" or 5' and a half inch. i am at the age where i should
still be growing, (according to my mom) but for some reason i'm not. is there
some way i could stimulate another growth spurt? i had one last year, i was
4' 10" and i grew a couple inches. if there isn't, what are some ways for me
to have the appearance that i'm taller? i've been trying to avoid heels because
i have a bad knee. >.< yeah, i know it's stupid to ask, but it would be
awesome if someone could help me out. and if you could tell me things i
should not do because they might stop me from growing that would be very helpful too. thanks. C:

What kinds of foods have you been eating?
Have you been eating enough meat/protein?
Those are the foods that help muscle growth and repair.

Maybe it's something else?
Do you drink many fizzy drink? If you do, perhaps drink them less because they can affect your bone growth by taking away some of the calcium.
I also found this on a website:
What to Eat to Grow Taller?
To grow taller, your body will need a balanced nutrition of vitamins (especially vitamin A and D), minerals (especially iron and zinc), fats, proteins, calcium, and fiber. You also must consume enough calories. When protein and calorie consumption is enough, then other nutrition often fulfilled too. But, if the calorie intake is not enough, your body will use protein to produce energy, thus the protein which is supposed to be used in your body growth (height increase) process will be wasted. So, it's important to have a balanced diet. You should eat high nutrition food proportionally and fit your body need.
---------
Yet other things can affect your growth. Are you getting your 8 or more hours of sleep?
But do remember your height may possibly have something to do with genetics. If your parents are a little below average height, then maybe you will end up being a little below average height too.

Well.. I am 5 in a half inches and I am 17 almost 18 years old. And girls usually stop growing at 16. So if you are 16 and over you are pretty much going to stay that height. And at least you're a girl! So being short is cute. now for guys its a whole new story. And I am shorter than mostly all my friends but I'm fine with it. at least you won't look like a freaking monster in 5 inch heels.

if your bothered about looking short I heared that wearing clothes with vertical stripes makes you look taller and stuff like that
as for getting taller, it depends on who you are. Are your parents short? I'm short because my parents are short

i don't really drink many fizzy drinks now, but i have had a lot of
fizzy drinks as a kid. would that affect my growth?
thank you for that bit of information too. C: i should start taking care to eat
a lot of protein. also, i get at least 8 hours of sleep in a day, but i have sleeping
problems, so it usually isn't all at night. will that affect anything, or do i just
need sleep in general to grow?
my parents are both average height. my mom has shrunken a little bit, but
she says when she was around my age she was 5' 6" or 5'7". That's pretty
average right? My dad is asian, and i know they are shorter, but he is still
like 5' 8" or 5' 9". My brothers are all about average height, my oldest brother
is like 5' 10" or 5' 11".

Don't worry about it too much and maybe have a shower or bath before you go to bed because your body temperature going down after it's gone up in the hot shower/bath makes you feel sleepy and may help you sleep if you need the help.
You sound a bit concerned about it now and I'm sorry if I made you worry about it. sweatdrop
I think you sound pretty healthy and you will probably grow taller soon.

I know a girl who is really short and she is about 12 now. But lately she's been having growing pains and get's taller and taller. Mabe you will get this way or havee a growth spurt! If you don't you don't and you want to look tall just wear shoes that make you look tall. There are also certant types of clothes you can wear to make you look tall! So don't fear being short! You can always make your self look tall! heart heart heart

It depends on your age, weight, and how you treat your body.
