14-yr-old shorty - way to grow taller?

You are only 14, you have years of growth left. Some men grow until their early 20's so don't worry about anything yet.

I stopped growing at 14, I was 5'10 though, but still shows how it can occur. Much of it probably contributed to my semi-vegetarian diet, poor sleep, poor eating habits, yadda yadda. If you aren't going to drink milk, find other means of obtaining calcium. Some orange juice, etc are calcium fortified and whatnot. Don't do too much heavy lifting though, you aren't at the appropriate age for that. Calistenics, machines, light dumb bells are fine, but I wouldn't suggest doing power cleans, deadlifts, etc.

So you think milk is nasty, no pain, no gain =) Suck it up lil bro, and chug.

1. Calcium is important, drink it! If you don't like milk, try yogurt, I know someone whose parents were short (both under 5 foot 9) but ate a lot of yogurt and grew to be about 6 foot 2.
2. Just eat a lot in general-Ur body needs food at ur age
3. Exercise-Exercise stimulates the release of natural growth hormones
4. Sleep-7-9 hours a day is recommended by doctors
5. Avoid heavy lifting-Although it does stimulate growth hormones, it can also destroy ur growth plates if too great a strain is placed on ur joints or if u lift with bad form

my advise to you is go and buy yourself a basketball and play basketball every day or as much as possible. my cousin was shorter than me we have the same age, when we were 14, his doctor advised this and he is 6'4" and I am 5'10" I did played basketball but not often he played everyday of his life until he ended college.

i was small when i was 14, now im 16 and im 6"2,

people grow at different times in their lives

you have nothing to worry about


*im no doctor but i dont think working out is good for a growing lad, and im pretter sure heavy lifting can mes up your growth
