Baby I'm a school full of Asians and most of them aren't 165. There's 160cm max for the most of them. At 169cm there are about 5-6 girls that are taller than me.
What!!:eek: A school of MIDGETS!

I've heard that people are taller in the mornings cos gravity has stopped pushing down on their heads once they're asleep, lying (?) flat. So maybe just sleep lots.

If that doesn't work, notify me - I'll just break your legs, then let you chill on one of those old timey torture racks for 6-8 weeks. Bound to work.

apparently stretching helps, and im pretty sure a injection of HGH is out of the question

being short does indeed suck a lot, but genes man............

Look it all comes down to genetics really. If your parents are both tall then you have a greater chance of inheriting their height gene and so on. BUT if you also have short parents it is possible for you to inherit a gene from a diffrent member of your family which may have skipped your parents. like i have a friend which is 196cm and his parents are around 170cm. long story short it comes down to genes PLUS good nutrition.. so eat those vegies xD


ps big things come in little packages.

You can get shin implants, longer shins but youd only get about 1cm before your shins looked slightly stupid, thigh inpmants may be possible as well but upper body doesn't work, unless you wish to be paralysed, ur not that short anyway.

Well you should of done some exersie when you where young lol =D
was this directed at me? cause, throughout my life, i've played netball [ten years], touch football, [six years and at times five times a week], danced [nine years], done acrobatics [one year], gymnastics[ten years], nippers/surf club [ten years], waterpolo [one year]. so umm pretty sure i did exercise when i was young.

well when we all need to run to the caves to save ourselves, at least you shorties will be able to fit.
must spread rep =[[.

You're taller when you wake up in the morning because when you sleep, gravity is no longer compressing the intervertebral discs and they reabsorb water. Over the course of the day obviously they are compressed and then you go to bed and etc.

Sleeping won't make you taller, I'd be a giant if it did :]
