Eat your greens.

But in all fairness that won't help and the chances are you'll always be short. Wouldn't worry thought, you can still be beautiful etc - and wear heels!

Well 5ft 3 is petite but who cares, why worry about height? If your parents are short then obviously you'll be short too, but if they're tall, then you'll grow... How old are you anyway, and what gender are you?

Men tend to grow faster than women up to the age of 21 (I think anyway).

The problem is that i'm late on developing everything...like my baby teeth are still not out, my eyes r not fully grown, my boobs r still growing form a b, my face looks young...maybe it will be a few years late for me than everyone else.

You need a rack, try the Yellow Pages as UtterNutter69 suggested.

Eat well; vegetables, minerals, vitamins, water and meat (if you're not a vegetarian) etc. Try to get plenty of sleep too as it's then that your body grows. Apart from that, you could invest in some platform boots from Japan. They look hideous in my opinion but the minimum size on the platform is 6 inches.:biggrin: Plus Japan invests billions of their currency on fashion each year, if you wanted to take some inspiration from all the different styles there. However the first 2 sentences that I've written are essential anyway and will help you needless of whether or not you become a model or not. Why do you want to become a model?^o)
Wear some special cloud shoes to elevate yourself
you will see when you ar older that you will grow taller

Oh please.. just stop worrying. Yes, it might seem like a huge problem now but there really isn't anything reasonable you can do about it. I'm about the same height as you and I've learnt to accept it. You can wear heels if you want.. but really I'm sure the people around you don't care that much. As for wanting to be a model, you either need to find an agency that accepts people who are shorter than the 'average' or find another career.

does it really matter that much, we cant just give you a miracle growth syrum that will make you grow 4inches more overnight, i mean we give advice but were not that amazing. if you grow you grow and if you dont well find another dream.
personally i think the stress caused will stop you from growing
and for goodness sake stop rolling in self pity, if you grow late you grow late get over it

I will give you a formula for a growth serum is you leave 10,000 pounds of unmarked notes in a brown paper bag outside tesco

Your height is your height.

You just have to learn to deal with it.
