People grow at different rates. And every person has a different max height. Girls that are younger than you who are taller simply have taller genes in them.
You're not going to get any taller than your genes dictate. However, if you eat a healthy diet and get enough exercise and are as healthy as you can be, you'll probably grow to that maximum height.
You can't grow taller than what your DNA determines.
yes it is possible for people to grow taller than 8 feet.
Your genes do control your height. Your doctor is correct. Most likely, your friends were going to grow taller anyway and they grew those biologically-determined inches after they tried the system you mentioned.
There is nothing truly proven to make you taller and it mostly depends on your genes. Although during puberty if you eat well and exercise you may grow more than you would of you sat at home and did nothing.
It depends upon genetics. Some people will grow again taller and some will stop growing.
Yes. Any number of reasons might have caused your parents to grow less tall than they might have; nutrition or environmental factors, for example. or your parents might have had a mix of genes for tall and short, and you got the "tall" genes from both your mother and father.
It has to do with her genes, and her growth spurt. I may be taller than my older brother and almost taller than my mom, but that's because my dad is tall.
You know when they are taller than they were!
Drinking plenty of soy milk everyday will not make you taller. Your height will e determined by the genes you inherit from your parents.
the height you will grow to is dictated by your genes. the only way to alter that final height is to grossly undernourish yourself, and in doing so make yourself grow shorter - this would bring with it substantial serious health problems though, and is definitely not recommended! (for example, undernourished bones may not grow to their full length, but they will also develop osteoporosis, and be more likely to break.)there is no way to grow taller than your genes have determined. even human growth hormone will not make you do so - it will simply bring you to your final height more quickly. but it will not make you grow taller.
