am i stuck as a midget?

One of my friends takes growth hormones, he shot up like super fast.

 

Speaking from experience, you are not stuck as a midget. I was 5'4" until I was 16, then I shot up to 5'11" and stuck there in a short time. Things will change, soon enough, but most men don't stop growing until they are 21.

 

I don't see why people care that much about how tall they are. If you are too tall you have to duck every time you walk through a door.

But seriously, don't worry. You probably will grow and stop somewhere around 5'8" to 6'. Also you might go through an amazing growth streak like my friend. When he was your age, he grew 14" in one year! From 5'2" to over 6'3"

 

I think you will grow some more as said above by a few people but if you don't being as short as you are now isn't that bad really. I know some people as short as you that are adults and are very nice and cool. Height does not matter.

 

I'm 14 5' 11" but know someone that was like 5' 5" until he was about 17 then hit 5 10

 

lol im 16 and 5'5 too its not that bad.... and your more then likely still growing as i am but i wont get much taller cause both my parents are short youll prolly end up around 6ft if not 5'11 or so youll be close but ill be around 5'9 or 5'10 considering the height of my parents.

 

Males grow until age 18 I believe, and 5'5 isn't that short.

If you were like 4'7 then maybe you should be worried.

It also has to do with your nationality, etc.

 

Not nationality. It's more of a genes thing. As he stated, his mother is pretty close to his current height, but he also said that his father is very tall. He could be taking after his mother.

 

alright, imma help you out

your always going to be taller then your mother, because you either have your fathers gene or your mothers.

stunting height growth is a myth. it only will happen if you do the excercise INCORRECTLY.

for example, your leg pressing and your locking your knees in thus putting all the weight through your bones, this will stunt your growth.

just before i get into your questions, im currently 14 turning 15 and im 6'2 (yes im young but trust me i have an education and i do go to the gym)
my father and mother are both short. 5'8 dad 5'5 mother.

So how the fuck did i get so tall? all i can say is you need to eat more. when i grew up my mother gave me alot of meat , vegetables, rice and MILK. you definitely want to drink alot of milk, and i mean alot ( im drinking 2L a day basically). and you need protein, calcium to grow, its all needed, i cant hesitate it enough. lets just say i licked my plate clean every meal.



2. are there natural exercises or anything that enhance your bone growth? im willing to go for stuff that requires long terms of commitment as long as it brings results

another thing you will need is to SLEEP atleast 8-10 hours a day. i sleep 10 hours a day and i love it. you need to sleep more because you GROW in your sleep. have you ever had a twitch in your bones when you sleep? like it jumps up? thats when your bones growing. just to prove this, measure your height when you get out of bed, and measure it later in the day, you will be taller in the morning because your body is laid out and gravity doesnt pull on your bones.

3. if all else fails, are there any kinds of hormones i can take to stimulate growing? (also if you can give examples to stuff that actually works)

there are things that can make you grow, but i dont suggest them at all. you want to keep natural as much as possible. i have a friend his 14 and his 6ft he took some special growing pills. and his muscles havnt developed enough to hold out his bones, he gets fractures easily, you don't want it

P.S. supporting the post above, im asian and im 6'2, its nothing to do with your genes, its more of what you eat etc, but it still has a LITTLE bit to do with your genes

 

well, for example, does weight-lifting (i lift 7 kilograms per hand) WHILE STANDING UP to work on Shoulders / Biceps / Triceps stunt my growth?


BTW- ill start drinking alot of milk from now on [=

 

well, 7kg really is nothing, thats ok to lift, excessive lifting can fuck you up ( lifting too much you can handle etc).

if you do excercises using your own body weight (push ups, calf raises) etc, the proper way, you will be fine

 

Guys keep growing until they are about 23 usually. Just make sure you have a balanaced healthy diet, ad get regular exercise. You'll be fine.

 

Macroman gives the best advice, BTW

sadly that website requires you to pay like 180$ to view all the good stuff XD

any chance you have a good guide for free? particularly with all kinds of stretching exercises that can help stimulate growth

or stuff that i should eat, or whatever, as i said earlier i'm committed to the cause

 

do that hgh stuff i know short kids that do it, just ask the doctor

 

Eh I'm only 5'. Think how I feel

 

I heard that working out stunts your growth, theres this one guy in my grade and hes very muscular and works out but hes really short so i dont know if thats a coincidence or if it has to do with the fact that he works out.

 

ull either be like ur dad or your mum's dad aka your grandad

 

That's odd, usually people are relatively close to the same size as their fathers. You could very well be growing late though, I've heard of that happen before. Other than that, it could be something related to the family genes, but I would doubt you're stuck at 5'5".

 

I don't see why it matters...I'm 6'3 and I'm 15, its got upsides and downsides, for example I hit my head on EVERYTHING if I'm not paying attention
