i've found that the general consensus says that swimming helps a lot, as does yoga, and other exercises that help your flexibility.

i hate being 167cm.

im as tall as my dad and a head taller than mum, so no hope in getting much taller.

FML.
that does suck.

my dad is currently a little taller than me, but i'm just taller than my mum, so mayyyyyybe i might grow a tiny bit taller.

okay, so i'm in year twelve [obviously] and i've grown about a centimetre since i was in year six. i waited and waited for a growth spurt but it seemed to never come. i'm now seventeen, and i neeeeeeed to be five centimetres taller.

is there any hope for me? or anything that i can do that would encourage growing?

please don't say that i should get my legs broken and extended or something, cause that's just a little drastic for my liking.

your opinions are appreciated =]]. thanks heaps.

not sure if this is in the right forum, didn't really fit anywhere else i don't think.. ? thanks.
Take heavy drugs, Suggestions include coke and ice.

Alternatively you could just stretch yourself with ropes and hope it stays that way..

maybe you can have one too!!! then you will be taller than your dad:)
