OK look I'm 15 right now and I'm 5'9. My father is 6'1 and my mother is 5'6. My one like weird goal in life is to be at least 6 foot something. I turned 5'9 like a year ago and all my friends are getting way taller than me. There parents aren't even as tall as mine. Ok look this is a weird question but I hear like guys don't stop growing till there wutever age and its ALWAYS a different number so it sounds stupid. AM I GOING TO GET AS TALL AS I WANT TO BE. Like is it possible to still grow even though I've gone through puberty and I haven't grown in a year... and if I'm not going to grow anymore is there ANYTHING I can do to help me grow... honestly is there

Brandon, I am sorry to say that height is not controllable.

I bet, though, you can find claims of "heightening" methods on the net but don't fall for any of them. None of them can be medically realistic.

Keep hope, though. At only 15 years of age, you are likely not done growing in height... and it is not completely uncommon for one to grow a couple, few or even several inches in a year's time.

... now if you start shrinking, then you can worry :p
