I'm a 17 years old girl and my height is 157cm and sometimes 156cm because measuring my height at school is not accurate. I got shocked when my height decreases but that was just some dumb inaccurate reading. Is there a way to naturally get taller? Some people say that when you reached 15 or 16 years old, you're done growing up. I don't believe it as my height still slightly increases as I age after 16. I really, really want to get taller! cry.gif I felt like my self-esteem is really low when I saw some girls taller than me and NO they are not wearing high-heels, just slippers. So how do I get taller?

Actually, I'm now 158cm when I measured back because of school's stupid measuring way! The height I desired is at least 162cm. Maybe thats impossible for me?

You are taller if you measure yourself just after waking up from sleep, as during the day your spine compresses a little, causing that small decrease in height.

Girls generally stop growing at age 14-16, although there might be exceptions. Nutrition, rest, posture can affect your height. Some say playing sports like basketball may help, though that may just be 'broscience'. Don't forget genetics play a part as well.

That being said, coming from a male point of view your height isn't anything to be sad about. I know plenty of girls around your height range and proportionally they look fine.

Yeah. But there are some fools like to talk behind my back about my height and I find that irritating.
