    it is incredibly random, if ur parents r tall, then ur chances of being tall are the same as someone with parents who are short, yao ming for example :p

    nothing proven

    I had friends who don't play any sports and they are taller than I am. I am 5'8" and I am very active. So nothing proven. I agree with drinking milk and rest enough.

    Yao Ming's parents are both 6'2+, they are not short to begin with.

    basketball with plenty of groundnut root soup cooked with chicken feet, you will be tall very soon.

    i believe it's mostly genetics that works (even if ur way shorter then ur parents or the opposite, it could be that u've got the genes of ur grandparents or something), but eating healthy foods and doing jumping sports could help too.

    Besides fantasy sports (LOL FANTASY SPORTS) try sports that make you jump like volleyball and basketball b/c I know some friends who grew like 2 inches over the summer playing it everyday. FYI you have to jump alot ALOTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTt stretch out your back too.
