Answers:
What is your age.? It's very improtant. I would recommend you think about your eating habits and consume products with lots of vitamins. Get enough of sleep (8-9 h) and do exercises regularly. You can find out what exercises to do in the links in the resource box.Health Question & Answer
There are numbers of reasons why a person is not tall, and most of them do not
have any effective treatment.
Probably the commonest cause is genetic, that is to say that one or
both your parents are below average height, or that short stature runs
in your family. There is really nothing that can be done about this.
The other cause that most people know about is a deficiency of growth
hormone, which is produced by the pituitary gland situated at the base
of the brain. If a deficiency of this hormone is discovered early
enough in life, it is sometimes possible to give treatment with
injections of growth hormone to increase height. However, by the time
you get to 17 years of age, your bones may not respond to the effect
of the hormone. The only way to find out if you have this condition is
to discuss it with your doctor. Blood tests an X-rays to see how your
bones are growing can usually make the diagnosis, but for treatment
you would need referral to a specialist. These investigations should
also show if there is any other cause for your short stature.
But you should not think that it will definitely help you. Medical
science can not make you the way you want to be - and it is true not
only for height - so it's better to accept yourself as you are. Tall
people are not necessary happier than short people - look at the
tallest man in Ukraine, who was stripped of his title, lives alone
with his mother, and has constant legs pain!
The exercises they advertise on-line may increase your height
temporarily for 0,5 - 1 cm, it's hardly noticeable and does not worth
the trouble: your height varies during the day on its own.
Very occasionally, surgeons will try an operation to lengthen the
bones in the legs. This is very difficult, and takes many months or
even years, and a series of operations. It is a dreadful operation,
and I mentioned it only because you may have heard of it. Never
consider mutilating yourself for a miserable increase in height, and
be happy as you are.

I hear that some people go through an operation where they pretty much break the leg bones and keep them seperated a couple centimeters until the bone grows back together... they do this over the period of a few years and gain an inch or two.
Other than that there is no way to increase your height. Girls generally stop growing around 16-18. Guys around 20.Health Question & Answer

There's really nothing you can do. You can appear taller with lifts in your shoes. The only real way to make yourself taller is a painful surgery where they break your legs...pull the bone down some and wait for new bone to grow. Very time consuming, very painfulHealth Question & Answer
The age you stop growing depends on your genes, really. It can be from 18-21 and it's not something you can speed up or increase. The best thing you can do is drink plenty of low fat milk to help your bones get strong.Health Question & Answer
