Height / How tall are you?

[Organic]

I just have to say that it doesn't have to depend on your mum and dad how tall you're going to be. I'm taller than both my mum and dad, but my grandpa was very tall.

My grandfather on my mum's side was 5'7", and my grandmother was only 5'1", and my mum ended up at 5'5", which I think is quite good. My grandfather on my dads side is 5'8", and my grandmother is 5'1" too, but my dad ended up at almost 6'0", my aunt at 5'11", and my uncle at 6'4".

Odd really. I'm hoping I got the tall gene! I'm 14 soon and about 5'3", almost 5'4", so that's only 3-4 inches to go!

So how tall do you guys want your man to be?
How does 5'10''-6'0 sound?

I like them to be the same height as me so when I wear heels im taller than him and I'll be the boss on the relationship shorter guys are really sexy to me (if they're cute)
ok so I'm 5'9 so my boy should be 5'9 too if nnot then 6'1

You;re only 14! There is probably a change that you're still growing, all I suggest is proper sleep, eating nutritiously (make sure you recieve all of your daily intakes of vitamins and minerals!!!), and milk. There's some information you can get off the net, but don't believe in the scams such as miracle pills and stretches. BTW: You can ask your doctor to see if your bones have fused completely... if they have you can't grow anymore

I agree with everyone. And don't worry about height.

I grew 5 inches when I was 15-17 and then between the ages of 18-20, I grew about 2 inches.

Thanks, guys! I really appreciate it!

So what type of foods and nutrients should I be consuming?

ALL of your daily intake requirements (A,B,C, etc, you know?... I hope you've learnt them in health class?). Nutrient deficiency = mal nutrition = height stunt = AHH! From what I've read, I don't think a specific vitamins makes you grow taller, eating balanced nutrients = allows you to reach your potential height.

Good sleep is essential because: HGH (the hormone for height growth) is released when you sleep.

I'm not a doctor though, but I do read a lot about height growth (Im obsessed), I'm sure there's lots of sites you can google up

Average Heights

Here's a chart of average heights in the world (thought it would be interesting)
Source: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Human_height

There's also a height calculator:

BUT, i wouldn't depend on it! Since my height was 4 inches off from their estimation

I'm 5'3" and just turned 18 in April. I'm dying to grow another 3 inches but i seriously doubt i will. I was even considering buying kids multivitamins like Dynajets because they always advertise kids growing on them hahaha
but i know rediculous!

I wonder if i might grow more even though i've hit 18...

i'm 14, and about 5'4 I think. I've heard of the "you stop growing once you've gotten your period" thing, and I got mine when I was like 12. I also heard you stop growing when you're 16. lol, Anyone know which is actually true? I want to grow at least 3 inches!

I've noticed at my high school that many of the girls around my height (5'7) have older sisters that are 5'11-6'2. Which means there is a really good chance that you will grow more, too- you can never depend on stuff on the net, or even doctors- whatever will be will be!

I'm wondering that too, I'm almost 14, 5'4" and got my period when I was 12 as well. I also want to grow atleast three more inches!

My friend did. In GENERAL though, I heard that too. There are always exceptions. I also heard that some people grew till 20, so I'm not sure. Ask your parents when they stopped growing, maybe you'll stop around the same time?

OHH, you can actually go to the doctor and ask, he or she can check if your bones have fused together yet! (to find out if you can grow anymore) Doc's the best way to go.

I think so. You are basically 5'6" already, it's just another inch. I don't see why you couldn't make 170

Yeah, I've been wanting to go to the doctor and getting it checked out. Thanks!

Lol, that's cool. You should ask your doctor like I'm planning on doing! Hopefully we're not done growing
