I am 19 years old. My problem is that I look like a 16 years old boy. I am only of 5-5 feet
& my weight is only 52 kg.my chest measures 35inches & my waist measures 30inches please suggest me some tips,so that I can increase my height up to 5-10 feet(my father is 5-8 feet tall & my mother is 4-10 feet tall) & can gain weight.I have another problem also (nocturnal emission 5 to 6 times in a month)please tell me how to cure it.

You just need to be patient. Your body will continue to grow and change until you are in your mid-20s.

Nocturnal emissions are quite common during puberty, and more than eight in ten males will experience them at some point in their life. Your height and your weight are well below both of your parents, which also seems to indicate that you have not yet completed the growth spurt that accompanies sexual maturity in males.

If you wish to gain weight in the meantime, I suggest you start a program that begins with a diet that focuses on good solid nutrition (rather than exotic supplements). And no matter what, don't give anyone money for "growth pills" or anything like that, they're just snake oil. If one really worked, it'd be the big news, like when they finally developed Viagra. Couple that with a weight training program and you can add a few kilograms with just a little bit of effort.

But I feel like I have to say it again. The main thing you need to do right now is be patient.

Don't change anything about you. Jesuse made you to be you. And why do you want to change yourself any where.

Hi lbaven,
You know I am taikwando player. So I have to be tall,healthy & stronger.

For martial arts, if you are serious about it, right now you need to take advantage of your body's natural attributes while you slowly add weight and power. There is nothing you can do to rush this process, but at the same time, it won't take anywhere near as long as you think if you stick with it.

In the dojo, instead of trying to do more powerful breaks, focus on more difficult breaks. Ask to do the one where someone drops two boards, and you have to hit them perfectly, and power almost doesn't matter because you have to hit them with enough velocity to get the break.

You need to focus on your core body strength training, your abs and obliques. Check out...

... and look at what that guy is doing. He's not very tall and he's not very big but he has taken advantage of his naturally lighter frame to become incredible while he can. And in a few years, when he adds weight and power, just imagine what he'll be capable of because of the time he put into it now.

Hi jayman419,
Thanks, thanks a lot for your suggestions.
I have listened that weightlifting or gym stops height. Is this true?

Exercise can be a factor, but it's generally considered to be a positive rather than negative. There's no evidence that strength training stunts your growth.

The biggest factor that affects height is your genetics. Nutrition is also very important, especially proteins. A diet high in sugars and fats can be detrimental to your growth because those things are a poor supply of energy, which your body needs a lot of to grow.

If you have a height chart kept from the time you were a child, or if your parents remember how tall you were at age 2, that's generally about half your adult height so if you double that you can guess where you'll end up. Another way to calculate it is take your mother's height and add your father's height, then add 5, then divide the total by 2. That's usually a good estimate, between two or three inches either way, of how tall you'll be when you stop growing.

Eating well, exercising, getting plenty of rest, and staying healthy are the most important things to do towards attaining your maximum possible height.

I meant add 5 inches, by the way.

So 5'10 is 70 inches. 4'10 is 58 inches. 70 + 58 + 5 = 133, divided by 2 is 66.5 inches. Or about 5'6 give or take 3 inches. So you're still growing, and probably will be for another year or two.
