I wish to grow 5 inches too... *sigh* ... it's all genetic really there's nothing you can do
there is no way to make someone taller. just to let you know as a guy I am more attracted to shorter woman. tall woman scare me in a way
not going to happen
Stranger things have happened, but your height is based largely on your genes. Your mom is average height and your dad a couple inches shorter than average, so your sister is highly unlikely to get as tall as she wants to. She may even be done growing; girls tend to stop growing about a year or so after the onset of menstruation. She might be lucky enough to have another inch or two left to go, but she's probably not going to be tall.
Tell your sister height is not something we choose (like skin color or other genetic traits). Based on the height of your parents, chances are she will not grow that many more inches, but she could, time will tell. Why does she care anyways? Is she trying to join a basketball team?
There are many sports and good reasons in life to be shorter rather than taller. For instance, you can hide better. For example, shorter people can hide better when escaping predators or attackers. Also, being shorter means your center of gravity is not high up and this helps with balance and gymnastic sports. Most people on earth are shorter, so there must be a genetic or evolutionary advantage to this. Just be happy whatever height you are.
um,sadly - i doubt that will happen for her. she may gain a couple more inches - but she will prolly stay about the same height. it is genetic,and alot of people are at or almost at their height at 14,especially females. suggest lots of milk and a multivitamin - do yoga and stretch - also,practice good posture.
there is really no way to gain height - there is a surgery they do in china and japan that breaks the bones in the legs and inserts steel rods to gain height - i think up to 5/6 inches - but it is VERY painful,and the recovery time is a LONG time. you can look it up - i forget exactly what its called,but i saw it on discovery health channel.
i would suggest chunky shoes - that's what i do,they look better than heels i think,with casual clothing - and i get 3-4 inches,sometimes more. i am 5'2 btw.
good luck ! and either way, be happy with yourself (herself) because height is just a thing,unless you want to model - it DOES NOT matter. most guys prefer shorter girls.
