How do i get taller?
Is it possible for me to get taller? Im a 150cm teenager almost 17 years old. Im pretty self concious about it. I already looked it up on google (quora) and it says that girls stop growing at the age of 16 lol. If i do exercises to get taller now, will it make any difference at all? Just want to ask someone here with experience or knowledge about this stuff.
Also, sorry for posting this under "give life advice". I cant find any topic about height.
I guess you can't grow any taller at 16 but you can appear taller. I have problems with my height too since I'm a transgender ftm who's only 161 cm and 14 so I find these tips really useful:

What about your genetics? Sry if this sounds too personal but are your parents, siblings and other family members have similar heights too or r you the odd one out. This personally helped me figure out wether I will grow taller or not. Sry I don’t really know any exercises tho. Hope this will still kinda help you. OwO 1 reply
Umm. That's definitely a fake news. Cause from a reliable source(you can search it up again lol) height stops for women around 18 to 20 years old (tho the last one is rare). Fruits rich in vitamins for heights (lol im not sure so u can search for it) and exercises could help you. 1 reply
so i once watched a youtube video (from bright side i think; but other ones are also good) and there they showed different (stretching) exercises that you could do. (it didn't work with me tho but in my case it's because my fam's small)
i recommend swimming and volleyball. Some friends of mine really did gain height. oh and skipping ropes is also g...... 1 reply
