Well, I'm pretty sure there are calcium pills or something that you can take but if you're several years past puberty already, you may as well give up trying to grow naturally.

That being said, I've heard that sports like volleyball, badminton, basketball (sports that require you to stretch upwards) can add a couple of inches...but I'm not sure how useful that would be if you're already past your growth spurt.

It also depends on how tall your parents are and genes etc...you could try that surgery thing....they put something in your bones? :s I never really understood the technicalities but apparently it hurts. A LOT.

If all that fails, hang yourself from monkey bars for 10-15 minutes. :smile:

Or you could just accept your height you know...:P

More **** in your shoes.

Other than that, the only way is a painful surgical procedure that lengthens your theigh bone bit by bit with implants and screws.

Some people say medical hormones help also.

If you've been through puberty, you should have stopped growing by now (up until 21 they think, anyway) so there's no magic potion or device that will change your genes. Not what you want to hear, but it's the truth - you can't grow any taller than you are, without a major surgical procedure and even then, it's rarely performed unless your height is a disability. Some people are short, some average and some tall, the best thing you can do is embrace what nature gave you.

apparently workign your back muscles and core muscles help strengthen the spine, improving your posture, and hence giving the impression that you are taller.

As well as dislocating your shoulder, breaking your wrists and ankles, and dislocating/breaking your elbows and kneecaps. OP this is definitely the best method for getting taller, you just might not be able to walk or even stand up afterwards.

Edit: I was editing my wording, I was using past tense for some bizarre reason.

Lmao, i was always the shortest in my class. It really got to me at one stage and always asked "how can i make myself grow" but the honnest answer is you can't, you have to let nature take its course.
