How can i become taller??

Question:

i am 16 and im 5'4 i know im still growing but i want to be like 5'9, ok i can i grow taller?..i know ive heard people say that milk helps your bones and everything but i hate milk.eww..and i know people also say that its your dna that decides it but i know people who are 5'11 and their parents are shorter than me...well there has to be something else!!

Answers:
Well, your DNA friends are right. That's what determines your eventual height. It doesn't matter what your parents' height was. Lors of people are taller than their parents. And I, unfortunately, am 2 inches shorter than my mother and 13 inches shorter than my father! Nutrition helps only to the extent that starvation or really poor nutrition can stunt your growth, but I seriously doubt you are in that position. There is an operation where they cut rings around your leg bones and put screws in the cut which you crank a little further apart over time, but I doubt than any surgeon would be willing to do that to a person who is still growing. Who knows? You could end up 6 feet tall!

do alot of excersise thats what makes you grow taller but not in a drastic way either

Try a Yahoo search for "grow taller naturally" but beware of scams.

If you are still within the growing age then perhaps you can add a few inches by eating a balanced diet and leading an active life. A nutritious diet that includes fruits and vegetables, dairy, cereals, meat, and plenty of water will aid the natural process for enhancing height. A good and proper night’s sleep is also essential for the growth process. Taking part in active sports along with some stretching exercises can have a cumulative effect on human growth. There is not much we can do to grow taller after puberty. There are many products in the market today that claim to increase height of adults, but they are all scams without sufficient scientific evidence. Surgical options, though available, are EXTREMELY RISKY and of course expensive. This leaves us with basically two options.

1. Stretching Exercises: - These exercises will help you improve your posture. You’ll be surprised that how much of “Height” is hidden behind your slouched back. You can, at any age, add an inch or two of height by simply improving your posture. Follow the link below for information on specific height enhancing exercises:
