Height is determined by your DNA, mostly. Secondly, it is influenced by your nutrition.\n\nAny pill that could make you grow would have to alter your DNA - which those pills don't do. And even if they could, do you wanna risk your DNA to some entity on the Net claiming you can get a couple inches?

None.  Try increasing your activity level.

If you smoke, stop. U could be short, because you've been working out when you were young, which somewhat slows down your increase in growth in height.\n\nVitamins would help also. You can never take too much of vitamins, because your body takes what it needs..n throws the rest away.

Eat your vegetables.\nHow you sleep has nothing to do with it. Your growth is all due to  your genitics.

I had quite a growth spurt when I was young, and I was 5'6 by the time I was in 6th grade. I stayed that height for a long time and then was 5'8 by the time I was 17 years old. Nothing more after that.

It will only affect your growth if you're masterbating while drinking coffee.lol, j/k.   \nIt won't affect your growth.\nIt will just turn your palms hairy and make you go blind.

get some high heeled shoes or a box because if youve past puberty then you wont grow anymore its all down to genetics.this question has been asked so many times.All with the same answer.Its all down to how tall your parents were.

Genetic makeup is the most important factor. This will affect the hormones responsible for the growth of everything, including sexual organs.

Sorry but I think we stop growing around age 17 or 18, taller that is. Being small isnt so bad. Try accepting you height cause you are gonna have it for a long time.

cut down on junk food. just bike everyday for about 15 minutes. you cant make yourself grow tall. no food can make you grow taller than you are supposed to. but as long as your are not starving you will grow to full height.

You should drink your milk and eat your veggies....you shouldn't really worry about it b/c you really aren't too short even though you are 17.\n\nOther people are shorter

Everyone is different! there is no one answer to that. They can get bigger from weight gain as well as growth. There is really no norm just average. No children or hormones probably about early 20s. Some never get any.

Height is basically genetic - guided by Growth Hormone and other important hormones (Calcitonin, parathormone and so on ...)\n\nYou can not grow taller by consuming calcium (milk, ..)\n\nHowever, you can grow to your full size by avoiding lack of calcium.\n\nLets say your genes were for 6 feet. If lack Calcium you may end up 2 inches lesser. So you must take Calcium (milk) to make your 6 feet. But taking Calcium will not make you 6 feet 2 inches.

it depends on your height, your metabolism, how active you are....lots of things. \nplus since you are still growing you may go through periods of time where you gain weight and then have a growth spurt. \ntalk to your parents if you are worried that you are over weight or underweight. if you are really that worried you can have your parents make a doctors appointment for you and discuss whatever anxiety you may have with your weight. \n\ni wouldn't worry about it at your age, especially if your doctor doesn't believe it is an issue. just try to eat healthy (that doesn't mean to not eat junk, just eat it in moderation) and to stay active.

Your weight is fine and suited to your height.  You shouldn't diet while your body is still growing.  That doesn't mean however that you can't include more fruits and vegetables into your diet.\nYou can also take up things like swimming or power walking which are easy on the joints but help build strong bones.\nDon't stress over your weight because it's REALLY not worth it-- particularly when you are IN a normal weight range.

Nope, but malnutrition can delay pubertal development.\n\nSince puberty is hormonally regulated it requires hormones to adjust it.  Obesity can bring puberty on early. Anorexia can delay it.  Eating hormonally altered foods is suspected in cases of extremely early puberty, and in promotion of cancer especially cancer of the sex organs.
