Question:

If yes plz give me some tips....

Answers:
Probably not.

Your height is determined by many things, but once you are out of puberty, you're pretty much done growing. Your bones have what's called growth plates at the ends of them. These growth plates respond to growth hormones and produce more bone, which, in turn, causes you to grow. Once your body stops producing growth hormones, your growth plates close and go away permanently. Even if you did take growth hormones, you will not grow any more because your growth plates are long gone by now.

My mother is 5 foot tall. She says since the air is thicker towards the bottom, she is smarter than everyone because she gets more oxygen than those tall people in the upper atmosphere. Height is just a number, enjoy who you are.

I really doubt it
