this is probably too late for me (im 17 turning 18 in june) and im 5'3.5"

as i was looking through some vert program websites i noticed some of them mention "Growing Tricks/Techniques" and saying how people have grown an inch a month using their "Growing Trick".....

when do males generally stop growing? is it age 18? hopefully its not 18 so then i have a chance at a couple more inches.....i am asian so it's probably genes (short parents) but my friend is asian and his parents are shorter than mine and hes 6ft (coincidentally he was born in africa)

what diet should i be following and exercises (if any) to grow more....ive also avoided weight lifting my whole life cause ive heard it slows/stunts growth

no growth pills or surgery suggestions please

thanks

Don`t have any suggestions...........but who would unless ur like an Angel or a Saint or sumthin

lol but anywayz I know the age that guys and girls stop growing most of da time gurls stop at around 16 and boys won`t stop ( a big percent of the time) until between the ages of 18-25 my Health teacher told me that I didn`t know boys could still grow until they`re 25!!! I was like dang I just thought it was 18 but........ but yeah & girls grow/mature faster than boys but boys eventually catch up and that`s why they grow even longer

yea it is true. I dont know of any growing tricks. But men continue to grow into their 20's. Their are always exceptions and so on but the general trend is such. Girls stop growing alot earlier because they started maturing earlier. The exact age is unknown but alot of males experience growth between 18-21

Check this out:

It can supposedly increase your height by up to 4 inches. I've just been doing some suggested stretches sporadically over the past week and I've gained about 1/4"
halls.md has interesting stats on height and weight of US citizens.

And what proof do you have? You should read a little before positing opinionated "facts".

If you're really crazy about growing taller, just break your shins, and you'll become taller from the added bone meant to fix them. Or you could spend $15,000 to have surgery to do basically the same thing with a gain of up to 5 inches. Of course, there's a high risk of deforming and ruining your legs forever, but just to let you know....
