i've been telling everyone at school this so...i shall tell everyone hear....

i think they should have some operation for people who want to be taller (i'm not talking about an 11 year old who has not started puberty, i'm talking about like a 15 yr. old who's stopped growing and will never be 5 feet).

they have operations for people who want less wrinkles, smaller boobs, bigger boobs, bigger stomach, smaller stomach, smaller legs, bigger legs, smaller bottay, bigger bootay, better vision, and even for people who want to change sexes! ok! the medical people need to find an operation. i know everyone thinks it's impossible but like a couple of years ago, before technology had improved, (like say in the 60s or 70s) people doubted there would be operations for taking fat away and all...so you never know what is possible.

but if they don't come up with an operation then i have decided to devoted my life to finding one...:D

OMG!!! I know what ya mean. I'm 15 years old and I'm 4'11 and a half. I cannot stand being soo short. My social studies teacher calls me an Oompa Loompa. Its soo annoying!! And I cant reach anything thats taller than me. Its ridiculous.

For my 21st birthday next week, I want to grow at least 8 inches taller. I'm only 4'10" tall! <sob> :crying: :crying: :crying: My 15 year-old sister is taller than me :bash: :bash: :smash: :smash: :angryfire :angryfire

That is really possible. I don't see why someone can't come up with something!

Come on guys, being short isn't THAT bad. I for one like being short. By the way, most people are not completly grown at 15. I'm twenty and will never be taller than 5'4. So what? I'm happy with my height. Come on guys! Judy Garland was 4'11! 4'11! And yet she accomplished a heck of a lot and a whole lot of people looked up to her. Michael J. Fox isn't short for attention either! Be happy with the way you are. :wave:

:lol: How about using some stilts! :lol: :lol: :lol:

Just think girls, if the surgery never becomes possible, there's always 4" heels! ;)

I'd rather have the surgery than wear those things. Heck, I'd rather be forced to watch every single episode of Friends (which I hate) one after the other than wear high heels :lol: :lol: :happyface

I just dont see how that would be possible. What can they possibly do? I mean they cant cut off your feet, make the bones in your legs longer and put your feet back on! Any type of surgery to make people taller just seems unrealistic to me. But maybe they could come up with some pill that makes you grow more or something like that... that seems possible. Or if all else fails like Dawsongirl said, just wear some big shoes!

We need stuff ta make you taller and stuff ta make ya shorter I guess. :D


I like my height though........ 5'5'' and growing, doctors say I'm supposed to be about 5'8'' :D

Doctor said I'm supposed to be 6 feet. :lol: What a joke

But I mean they could come up with a pill to speed up your growth...

I wear those things and I m 5' 7 1/2''...ppl hate me when I where those heels...hehehe...:D

Interesting...I had never really thought of that before. I'm sure it could be done, either by a pill, or with surgery. I bet you they could do it surgically by lengthening your legs with either plastic or metal (and hell these days they could possibly do it with real bone, I betcha they could grow a bone in a petri dish! ;) ) and using skin grafts to lengthen the skin of your legs to accommodate the extra length. It'd probably be a difficult surgery, but there's no doubt in my mind someone could find a way to do it.

I'm pretty happy with my height (5'6") except for when I go to concerts, and I can't see a dang thing. I bought a pair of 3" clunky heeled shoes specifically so I could see more at concerts!

I think you're right!!! I actually enjoy being short... and I hope i don't grow TOO tall. I'm 13 now and 4'11 so growing a few more inches would be OK, but mostly I enjoy being short! don't as me why, please.

Isn't there something called like, Limb Lengthening, or something? I dunno, but I was watching something on tv.....and they like turned some nob so many mm's a day, and after a really long time, it makes you like taller or something. A Friend of mine took pills and got shots like every morning to grow.....I didn't ever notice a difference tho.

Oh, don't even get me started on the height thing! I've had a height complex since I can remember. I'm 5'4 1/2'' and was SO pissed when I learned I'd never be 5'7'' and could NEVER be a Rockette. LOL Ugh. I'm 18 in 3 weeks and there's no way I'm getting any taller. I was 5'4'' for a while and grew a half inch... that made my day.

What made me feel good about my height is learning Bebe is exactly the same height as me. I thought that was so cool and it's okay I'm short now. Ginger Rogers (whom I've adored since I was 4) was also 5'4'' but supposedly Bebe is 5'4 1/2'' which kicks ass. Gotta add that half! LOL

All you short people, just find someone you look up to and admire that is your height. It will make you feel a whole lot better, believe me. Kristin Chenoweth (she's mainly a Broadway actress... had her own sitcom for a SHORT run, no pun intended) is 4'11''. Bernadette Peters is no more than 5'1''... um, SO many Broadway actresses are SHORT! I guess the stage must make you appear taller or something... they all seem to flock there. :lol:

I remember seeing something like that on tv too. The doctors attached this metal frame to the person's leg and gradually made it bigger. It looked super painful.

They do have growth hormone they give kids who aren't growing. I think you have to take the growth hormone before the growth plates in your bones close, though.

I'm happy with my height. I'm 5'6", which seems to be about average.

At least you guys aren't 15, 6'0" and still growing. It's so annoying to be so tall. I'd rather be short.

Hey guys,I guess i can relate to you guys on another level since i,m trying to lose some weight,I know this is about height and i can,t really relate since i am such a tall person,I HATE BEING SO TALL,I know that I may seem hypicrtical,but I,M NOT AND I WANT YOU GUYS TO GET YOUR WISH,I completly defintlly agree that there are ways to make yourself taller,but i,d be very careful since there are alot of crappy sites and products to buy on the internet that promice to make you taller,but they don,t since i have friends who are that tall,Anyways my I,m a big person and theres lot,s of me.I,m somewhere between 5,10-5,11 and a half i don,t really know my weight as of now,but i am defintlly a big girl and i feel strange about my weight,I used to be picked on alot in grade school because of my weight,I have lost alot of that extra weight,but i will always be a big girl.People say i have a pretty face,still i,ll never be thin like Claudia Shiffer or any other supermodel,but then it, seems so many people want to change their apperacne like us and i think if it makes the person happy than they should go for it,but i also agree that we should like ourselves for who we are.This is just my own personal opnion,to each his or her own,Still being short can be pretty cool to,I know i can,t relate to your problam,but hey you can still have fun,I always wanted to be pettie or average height,but anyways.Short people can have just as much fun and you so many more advatages over us. 1.You can usally run quicker and move alot faster then us.2.This applies to both sexes,but maybe more for girls-you seem to get more guys3.you can fit through doors and tunnels and other things that i seem to have trouble entering along with other tall people.4.Buying Clothes is so much more easy because more clothes fit you.5.I find shorter people tend to be somewhat more graceful,Espeacially if your a dancer or an actor you can have fun.There are so many things you can have more fun with and there defitnlly should be and are more reasons why being shorter is so much more cool,but then again i guess you can probably think of many more ways to be cool.but being the way i am i see so many cool bigger people who are happy with there weight and i really really really wish i could be like them,but alas i still feel upset with my weight,Still keep on dreaming and i bet it will come true someday,Keep on having fun and be good to yourself and take care,best of luck,THANKS CHEERS!

I am 5 feet tall, and it took me years to accept the fact that I have stopped growing.

I believe that the reason why it is difficult to come up with a method to make a person grow taller is because they (the surgeons) would have to stretch the person's bones (although I think it's been done on rare occasions).

It's your skeleton that makes your height.

hey ya'll girls im 18 and 6'0 and i would rather shorter girls than me.. like 5'0 and stuff like that and there are lot's of guys like me so be happy the way you are i know i am lol well buh bye!! ;)

Yeah, I saw that too. It looked very painful. I think I would rather just stay the way God intended me to be than go through that. It seemed uncomfortable and there is always possibilities of it not working so I don't want to go through pain for nothing. Although, the method has done positive things for people...I dunno!
