I am 20 and I am only 5'8. I do not like this.

Is it possible to find out if I will grow any more? (go to a doctor or something?) I've heard of something called http://www.heightclinic.com, but it's probably a scam.

I hate being so short.

A surgery that many Asian countrys perform can increase your height. They saw you leg bones in half and then put in pieces of metal and your leg bone grows back longer. You will not be able to walk for about a year and it is very expensive.

You could get the shoes that give you and extra 2-3 inches and look very inconspicious.

At 20, you're probably as tall as you're going to get.

No, there isn't a way to get taller.

Date short women. :D

I am 20 and I am only 5'8

you've got o be kidding, right?

puberty, remember..that's when you grow up...and become an adult...like at least 4 years ago..

you need to be worrying about all sorts of things at your age.. but your hight is certainly not one of them..

by the way, i'm 48, and only 5'6" (and wouldn't change a thing)

It is set in stone. Nothing you can do about it. Pure dumb luck.

the only thing i can see is that you have a smaller selection of women... other than that i don't see what's so bad about it. i am about the same height... i'm probably around 5'9. meh... i don't really think about it.


money trumps everything :D

Not necessarily, I didn't grow much (if any) from 16 on. I'm 6'2 now, this is as big as I'm getting.

6'2 is a nice height, I can't complain. I have a full 11" on my g/f, just the way I like it. :)

Except for when I want an MR2...

I'm 5'8" also and I'm perfectly fine with it. Your personality is that matters, not the height. As far as women, I do not have any problems in that area neither, since at least 80% of women I meet are shorter than me. Trust me, don't worry about your height, like yourself the way you are and you'll be a happy person.

being 5'9-5'10 seems to be average for guys, and right where i want to be. anything taller becomes a little too- tall. Also, most girls are under 5'8'' anyways.

You don't honestly think that you can just do something and grow do you?
