19 year old female wants to get taller

[p0p0]

Hi everyone,

Female friend is already of decent height (5'9") but dreams of reaching 6'0" or more. She believes she's still growing as she was a very late bloomer and that her growth plates have not closed.

She'd like to know the best way to maximize her growth while she still has that window. No known conditions or disorders. She's on birth control (Drospirenone I believe but not sure). Would HGH be effective for her? Something else? Hesitant about anti-androgens in a female that age.

Thank you all for your insight.

Most women are finished growing at that age. Willing to be her long bone growth plates are closed as well. Not much really she can do, except just be happy she's 5'9" and not 4'9".

The secret to life, young Grasshopper, is to learn to be content with what you have, and not covet what you do not have.

wow 5'9" is way above average for a female, she should consider herself very lucky.

I don't think you friend's going to grow much more at 19. It's just worth the risk to grow a couple more inches. She is thinking about putting things into her body that could change her glandular production permanently. Not safe.

This is what this thread made me think of.

She's going to get an X-ray sometime this month to determine if her growth plates are still open, but she's assuming yes since recently she's noticed that her skirts and pants have been riding shorter on her. She plays recreational volleyball and I've heard its not unusual for athletes (even female ones) to have late growth spurts.

For what it's worth even her breasts are still growing - she didn't start developing really until a few years ago.

Just for the sake of argument, let's assume she still is. What would one do if she wants to increase her height while her window is still open? I know 5'9" is already tall for a girl, but if she wants to take a safe and sensible approach to this, I think it's well within her right to pursue it. It's her body and her choice.

why would she want to get taller?! tall women are not attractive IMO, they have the tendency to slouch. besides they're heavy to carry

If she's hot she can sit on my shoulders.

But seriously, does she want to turn into Maria Sharapova?

Well to be fair she's pretty hot but shes also about 6'2, and unless she's dating Basketball players, will look ridiculous standing next to a guy.

Well man, it's not really about you. It's about her and what she wants. I personally don't find female bodybuilders attractive, but I'm not going to knock someone for a life choice that doesn't harm anyone else. Everyone has their own beat and they're free to march to it.

Ease up brother. It's just a little humor. It's a fun place here!

Being on birth control likely killed any chance of growing taller, as estrogen is responsible for closing growth plates. But most women are done growing by their mid-teens, so she should just forget this whole idea.

She can get her knees extended...learned that from the movie "white chicks"

be easy on your self kel!

I'm 5'10, and I've been this height since I was 14. I don't have any female friends that continued growing much past that age, I would say it is extremely unlikely she is not going to grow any more. 5'9" is a nice height for a woman, as someone else said, it could have been worse, at least she's not short. :-) But there is nothing to be done.

Can't talk. I'm in "time out"

Hmm take drugs to grow taller than 5 9" she should be put in a padded room if she thinks height is that important.

Thats my insight.

[bass]

actually there is but a long process. they do it in Africa, they add rings around the neck to make the neck longer, I am sure they can do the same for the whole body. I think they do that for elongating dicks as well. just saying

While she may still be "developing" to a degree that's likely more of a case of "filling out" but not actually getting taller. Very unlikely she has any capability of further growth at her age.

Actually there is another surgical procedure where they break your legs and put metal rods in between the broken bones but they can only add a few inches. When I read the article years ago this one guy added about 4 inches but he was off his feet for 6 months in a wheelchair. I forgot the name off this procedure but a google search will find it for you. For Christ sakes if this isn't someone trolling in all honesty 5'9 is a great height for a girl. Average height for most American women is around 5-5/5-7 so she would be considered tall for a girl. Hell she taller than me as I stand 5'7. I would still bag her though if she was hot and had a fupa

Wear heels?

[diabeticknowledge]

it doesnt matter what she thinks, an x-ray of the hand will be the judge of that.
if anything works then its growth hormone, you wont get it legally but through a doctor. its not side effect free and i doubt any doctor will ever help her with this goal. instead of doing 5k worth of gh, she could have high heel shoes in masses - and multiple hours with the shrink to deal with her obsession with getting taller

im a 28 year old male that wants to get shorter and make my muscles look fuller can you help me? .....seriously, lol don't take anything at 19 yo.

[GirlyGymRat]

Wear heels?

Bing bing bing. We have a winner!

OP. this your friend is probably not going to see 6 ft without heels. Seems senseless these drastic surgeries/alternatives for a few more inches.

As far as her boobs being smaller. Well that has more to do with genetics and bf%. Most boobs are just nicely packaged fat cells. Shush. Don't tell anyone else.
