I'm short, is there anyway i can grow?

I'm an 18 yo male and short compared 2 most of the other ppl i know. I think i have reached the end of my growing days :frown:

. Is there any thing that i can do to help me grow taller such as supplements etc. Any help would be much appreciated.

Um, well it depends if you're short because of a medical condition or whether you're just short.

If it's the latter, try the rack.

If there was an easy way like that I'm sure a lot of short people would use it.

If you have a medical condition, which I strongly suspect you do not have considering that 5'5 isn't really that short, you can get growth hormones. But I doubt you have one.

The best thing about being a short guy is your penis looks bigger on you.

Eat your spinach

Unfortunatly you will have to live with being 5 feet 6, it's not a bad thing being short anyway. If it's any consolation I am only 5 feet 7.

Dude,

I am 5'6'' and I have plenty of friends who are both taller and shorter. Don't know about sports, as I rarely play anything team based, but I can take down most of my friends who are taller. And I will bite the sheens of anyone who can kick my ass! My best friend is 5'4'' and the ****** gets laid more often than any 6 footer I've ever known. Anyways, the point is, it's not your body that needs to grow, but your sense of self esteem. Yeah, I know that feeling short makes you less confident and feeling less confident makes you feel short, but the point is, one of those can be fixed... without the use of a rack (that wiki link was genious btw).

i dont feel intimidated its something you grow out of.
you stop growing at 21 so till then get your calcium in to allow bones to grow.
if it still bothers you go read 'school of height' its a russian book all about growing.
if it still bothers you see a doctor

What's wrong with being short!? :hmmm:

I know both men and women who are shorter than you, and there's nothing wrong with it. At least we don't bang our heads on low beams and things :p:

i used to be tiny a year ago (5ft 2) & then about a year ago i started eating/drinking loads of calcium from milk, yogart, eggs, porridge etc that mite just be a coincidence, but i really think it helped me grow taller (im 5ft 5 now btw)
Also i have an identical twin, but she has a very poor diet & she's still 5ft 2, i really think the change in my diet made a big difference.
