May sound silly, but is there any way to make yourself taller?

Question:

I play volleyball and height seems to be so important in it, or at least such a great advantage. Is there any way to increase your actual height, not vertical jump, by some sort of exercise or something? I'm also just curious, not gonna use them, are there such pills that do make you taller like a steroid bulks you up? Thanks =)

Answers:
well, there's a torture device... (lol)

seriously i don't know, but check out inversion tables. they simply hang you upside down. seems like the best bet to me, though i don't know that they will actually make you taller.

maybe there are vitamins that will, but i don't know, so don't count on it.

pills wouldn't be a good idea

No...silly wabbit

nope..you are predisposition genetically to be the size that you are. It is based in your skeletal system. There are no pills. There are plastic surgeries that can but I would not recomment it because you would be laid up for a year just to be 1/2 inch taller

Swimming wull make you taller. And steroids kill you.

platform shoes.

ask your doc but i doubt it

No, sorry...some young children can be given growth hormones but at your age you are the height you are and if you are over 18 you've probably hit your max...

there are surgical procedures to lengthen your legs, but I wouldn't do that, doesn't seem worth it.

They break your legs and you turn these things they implant to keep your legs from completely healing until they are long enough

im not sure about exercises. but i do know that if you have like a height problem theres pills/injections that you can take.

ummmm... NO!!!

Haha, after reading the actual question, I was about to say heels, BUT since this involves sports. UH NO you cant. But you can wear longer shirts to make you look taller. Maybe shorter pants/shorts to make your legs look longer. I dont think stretching or excercising will really help your height! lol. Drink lots of milk for strong bones?! LOL! Good Luck though =)

if u r young enough, jumping should help increase height
well i am short though, cant help it

You could try doing pullups. Just hang from the bar.

well in the mourning ur a little taller so u can show that off...
