However, nothing will make you taller. You will be the height you're meant to be - no pills can make you grow, no matter how much bullcrap they tell you.

yeah, it can be. i'm only an inch taller now than i was when i was 11. and that inch happened REALLY gradually, so i barely even noticed.
how tall are you? unless you're unusually short, i don't think it sounds like there's anything to worry about.
You don't say if you're male or female
your height and your parent's height
provide more info if you want people to help you.
Like everyone has said, you don't say if you're male/female or any of that other info.
Oh, and just a hint...if you smoke then stop! My [male] friend is only about 5'4" and smoked from the age of 13. It can have an impact, just sayin'...
I think having a good balance diet, eating lots of vegetables, drinking plenty of milk etc.. will maybe improve your chances, and defientley don't smoke! But there is no way to make yourself actually grow.
How i wish there was..
well if i get your legs..someone else could pull your arms. a bit like stretch armstrong.
Maybe somebody could buy me a rack for my birthday? ..
Well it is good for your bones, especially milk. It might imporve the chances of your bones growing, even more so in your teen years, when you are growing most.
Me? I'm 4"11..
I feel like such a midget at times..
woo you make me look tall! i'm 5'4".
Other than that though its all down to your genes but I didn't stop growing till I was about 20, so don't worry about it. xx
