my mom sez i grew a lot when i was in track.

Did you happen to be in jr high then? Going through a little something called 'puberty'?

I'm convinced this thread is a parody or a joke.....

serious answer: no you can't take growth pills. for those to ideally work, you need to be about 7.

semi serious answer: you take after your mom's koreaness. is her family short? then there's your answer.

mean answer: my goodness, even if you're taller, that penis won't get bigger.

hehehe

Did you take like ritalin as a kid? Any ADD medicine? Generally people who take ADD meds as a kid (relatively young), it will stunt your growth significantly.

no it was my jr year in highschool (i stopped growing in 8th grade).

my pop is 6'4...im 5'9

6'4 is huge for armenian men...hell even 5'9 is above average for them... the average armenian man is about 5'7

genetics are weird like that. My father, a good man, has the hardest time fitting places. There are moments I wish I were tall, but the realization is that im stalky...can't do much about it

jarring excerise that puts stress on your skeletal system (such as running or jump roping). it increases bone mass and density over time.

whatever.. i give up. i'll just stick to asian women (white girls are practically taller than me).

Limb lengthening really does work. I got roughly 2" put into my right leg.

that is a problem right?

no, it's not a problem, unless you're only goal in life is to be a basketball player.

if you are really worried about this, you could go to China or Russia for leg extension surgury, they slice through your leg bones, hold the bones together with a metal splint, and then each day gradually increase the distance between the two bones. New bone grows in to fill the gap. You could get an extra inch, maybe two if you really pushed it

[aidanjm]

be honest, are you worried about your height or the length of your penis?

poor short people
i have also heard that cofee stunts your growth, but i drank a mug full a day from age 12 and turned out to be 6'3

 

[aidanjm]

stop worrying about it, OP

just learn to deal with what you've been given.

get on with your life, stop worrying about something you can't change

Stop hunching over and playing video games/surfing the internet, you sporked your spine.

 

[mryellow2]

You've probably stopped growing for the most part and there's not a damn thing to do but get on with your life.

ok.

i don't really care that much about height..

i just realized im short like a couple months ago and seeing what solution ATOTers might come up with.

edit: oh and ppl from middle school that i towered over are taller than me now. so they're like "what now bia"

a little advice though:weight bearing exercise is the most important factor in determining height aside from nutrition. i wish i would've known that in my teens. i'd probably be a good inch or two taller now if i'd gotten more weight bearing exercise. i guess 5' 10.5" isn't exactly short but...still it sucks standing next to people who are 6+ feet.

Dude shut up I'm like 5'4"

well it would be injections. And you should have seen the doctor long before you were 18, with a wad of cash in hand. Try $1000/month.

Your growth plates generally close around age 18-20. But there's always hope, an uncle of mine grew an inch at age 22.
