    How can I get taller?

    Hello people. I'm 6 feet tall and my goal right now is to get 2 to 3 inches taller. I am 17 years old and I know 6 feet isn't that small nor tall but my goal is to be 6'3 and I would like some ideas from you guys on how I can reach that goal. Thanks in advance!

    Very expensive, riksy, and painful surgery. Or shoe inserts to fake it.

    I do not think there is a healthy way to get taller. My guess would be to eat a balanced diet and stay very flexible, and /if/ your genes will allow it, at least you will not stunt your growth.

    PS- I'm 6'4" hahaha, I'm taller than yooouuu :PP jk

    Just hope you grow a few more inches? If you're still in High School it's not uncommon to still gain a few inches after you get out.

    Just wait, you will either grow or you won't. At 17 you probably still have some growing time left in you. There aren't many feasible ways to force yourself to get taller.....

    Go back in time and selectively breed your parents ancestors to be taller.

    It's all genetics, unless you are severely malnourished you will grow to height that your body is programed.

    Or the risky, painful, debilitating surgery.

    Sorry.

    well im 6,3 and i achived that by using an apparatus that streched my limbs for hour and hours a day, results may vary. LoL

    On Topic, being 6 feet tall is probably going to be your limit give or not take an inch or two. And dear god please dont be trying to grow 3 inches for a girl.

    How tall are your parents and relatives? Cuz if they aint taller than 6'3" ur prob just sol realistically.

    You can't. Though most boys continue to grow until they are 20.

    Bar me. I stopped when I was 14.

    Only other option is thigh lengthening surgery. Which is expensive, painful and causes brittle bones.

    Lol, this shouldn't be a goal. You have no control over your natural height. If you want to appear taller, wear some high heel shoes or.... get the surgery where they break your bones...

    nah dont do that

    edit: why do people still believe in that milk growth myth? all it does is make your bones stronger thanks to calcium. it's not even the best source.

    The only way to actually surgically make yourself taller is to break the bones in your legs and set them so they grow longer, which takes a long time and I hear is very painful. I wouldn't recommend it. Instead eat healthy, milk, and don't smoke or drink caffeine, which can stunt your growth.

    I always heard Human Growth Hormone can be given to people who want to be taller. Though its generally for "little people" who want to be normal sized I think. Anyway, height isn't all that great, I'm 6 ft 4, all I get for it is back problems, constant recommendations that I should play basketball (I'm by no means athletic), and people commenting about having to look up at me all the time.

    Yes, the rack is the quickest way to gain inches in height, of course, it is also linked with debilitating pain, possibly lethal, and will dislocate many joints.

    but the best healthy choice is get sleep and exercise daily. If you don't get taller, I suggest a good pair of elevator or platform shoes.
    The people with the most to say generally know the least.
    I prove the above statement.

    Luck of the draw. Playing basketball and drinking milk is a myth.

    Height is set by your genes. You can't just google some surefire way to get taller. If there was a way to get taller, everyone would do it. Unless you like excessive strain on your legs and joints and an early case of arthritis, be content with how tall you are now.
