You're also a girl. It's expected that you would be shorter.beentherdunthat said:my bro is 185 cm.... and he drinks a lot of milk. So yeah what they said
on the other hand i'm 175 and i don't drink that much milk......
heh, thats what i was gonna say, or he could ask someone to pull his arms too.SpinCobra said:Tie your hands to a table or something. And get your brother/sister to pull your legs for a few hours a day. Bound to get some results.
This is true, well, i don't know about 4cm, but yes, you are taller in the morning. Being horizonal has taken the effect of gravity of your spine and discs. They get to over hydrate and become thicker over night. Gravity will pull you back down over the day. You can also hang from a bar or tree and kinda re-create the effect.GreenLeaf said:You're apparently ~4cm taller in the morning than you are in at night, because gravity shrinks you.
Stretching does not make muscles longer. They do not change in length (noticeably), You are merely removing tension and your capacity to handle the stretch. I could go deeper, but i am lazy.GreenLeaf said:Do some leg stretches every night before bed, and hope you get taller. Theres also the theory that you get taller if you hang around groups of tall people, based on evolution haha. Do more jumping exercises, like basketball - why else are basketballers so tall (?)
Sport may lead to greater testosterone, which in the growing years may effect height - but it is more likely that taller people are simply better athletes (in most sports, and i'm not counting super-lanky freaks, post 6'6" you typically get weaker due to long levers. Again, this varies on the sports requirements.)leoyh said:yeah theres a great association with doing sport and being tall, but like, sometimes it just doesn't work because of genetic make up. and sometimes, it just does. some ppl grow way taller than their parents, even if they don't play sport, whereas others play heaps and are still as short as their parents
in year 8 i started hanging out with a lot of azns, who were all pretty much the same height (short). half of them started playing basketball with me at recess, lunch and after school, and the other half played nintendo and watched us. the ones who played nintendo didn't grow much, but the ones who played ball with me all grew to be tall (for azns), and are a about a foot taller than their dads. they wanted to be/had to be taller to play basketball.. which makes sense to me. we have a lot more control over our bodies than people think.NinjaSauce said:And basket ballers are tall because of basketball? You serious? Maybe, ya know... tall people are attracted, or have success in, basketball? You may have the correlation backwards.
how tall are you?aMUSEd1977 said:You are an idiot.
weed's proven to slow growth i think. particularly in younger people.Russdog said:in year 8 i started hanging out with a lot of azns, who were all pretty much the same height (short). half of them started playing basketball with me at recess, lunch and after school, and the other half played nintendo and watched us. the ones who played nintendo didn't grow much, but the ones who played ball with me all grew to be tall (for azns), and are a about a foot taller than their dads. they wanted to be/had to be taller to play basketball.. which makes sense to me. we have a lot more control over our bodies than people think.
i'm 6"5, i recommend a lot of milk. i always used to drink a shitload of milk, and since i've stopped drinking milk i've also stopped growing. weed helps too.
are you kidding me? leg stretches stretch the muscle, not the freakin bone, and no the muscle length DOES NOT change, elasticity is improved.. And i'm going to assume, by that evolution comment, you don't have the slightest idea how evolution occurs, or it was a bad joke. Basketballers are tall because they are genetically that way, and find that basketball best suits their frame. You think that a short kid starts playing basketball and hey, he's 6 foot 6? PLease....have some sense.GreenLeaf said:You're apparently ~4cm taller in the morning than you are in at night, because gravity shrinks you.

thats interestin, do you have any evidence?miegoreng said:Also, I have no idea why but has anyone noticed if you compare siblings of the same gender, the younger one tends to be taller in the end?
i'm 6"5, you're not. don't argue. plus you're in year 12. you know nothing about life. don't argue. same with the other guy.Nat3skiz said:no...just...no

you're right i'm not, and i play alot of sport and drink alot of milk, i've smoked chronic in my time too. i'm not sure that as you grew so tall, your brain grew with you. Nothing you said was correct, and putting it down to my age shows your pathetic lack of intelligence. Not to mention the fact i know more than you, knowing nothing about life and all at my age, should be motivation for you to learn about the real reason for growing. nuff said.Russdog said:i'm 6"5, you're not. don't argue. plus you're in year 12. you know nothing about life. don't argue. same with the other guy.
your boyfriend is/was still growing.melsc said:I stopped growing in year 7 and I am 155cm. Unfortunately girls don't keep growing like most boys do. (That said my b/f stopped growing in year7/8 and he is only 165cm). Its mainly genetics I believe. My brother is 180cm and 15 so he's still growing but it just depends, I got the genes from the short side and he got the genes from the tall side. I don't think there's much you can do about it.
Dude, you only finished year 12 last year you know, lol.Russdog said:i'm 6"5, you're not. don't argue. plus you're in year 12. you know nothing about life. don't argue. same with the other guy.
