being a korean sucks

Aren't Koreans the tallest, on average, of all the Asian countries?

Anyway, this is completely unrelated, but there's an HG wells story called The Food of the Gods about people who figure out a miracle baby food that lets people grow to be like 20 feet tall.
Of course they are, South Korea is the most financially well off of all the asian countries- well, to be honest, I guess Japan would take that, but in general, the more prosperous the country you live in, the taller you will be. Nonetheless, I think its just genetics that make Asians shorter, even in Canada, its very rare to see an Asian who's above, say, 5'8. Though I have seen it once or twice.

rofl, I see 6'0 asians very much in the states
Really? Not in Canada, strange.
Can you dig it?

dont train so much i guess. one of my friends trained much when he was in a growing period
and it left him maybe little bit shorter than he would have been, without training.

eh anything you can do wont change your height more than a slight fraction. sept cigs, dont smoke if u want you grow.

my brother is 6 5 and he has been smoking/drinking/not exercising since he was 14, really doesnt make enough of a difference for you to change anything.

I'm Asian in California and 5'10... my brother is 5'11 and I'm almost certainly going to be taller than he is, I would think about 6'1 or 6'2, as I've grown 7 inches the last year and there's no hint of slowing down yet.

Oh whoops saw this in PX didn't know it was such an old thread! sorry for teh bump

my mom is about 5'2", my dad is about 5'7", my sis is about 5'2".


i'm 14, and i'm pretty close to 5'11"-6'

so it's not all genetics.

though i've only grown a total of about 2-3 inches in the past 2-3 years.

Adopt a more western diet that includes meats and dairy if you haven't already. Or take Human Growth Hormone, ask where to get from that pitcher and maybe that bicyclist.
SC2 was doomed from the start.

Don't think there's anything much you can do. Just drink milk, excersize, get a vitamin tablet, and pray for that growth spurt.
That human growth hormone sounds like an extreme but desperate idea! that or you'd have to change your genes which is even more risky!
I think in our modern age technology has evolved to become more addictive. The things that don't give us pleasure aren't used as much. Work was never meant to be fun, but doing it makes us happier in the long run.

Never drank milk, my parents told me I stayed away from milk like the plague.

I'm 5' 11". Apparently it's like a miracle to my parents that I grew so tall -_-

+ Show Spoiler +

A person's height is determined by how our genes interact with the
environment. If you live in a healthy way, you will achieve your
greatest potential height. The most important things you can do are to
get plenty of sleep, exercise regularly, eat a well-balanced diet, and
avoid alcohol and drugs.

Your body will continue to get taller until the growth plates on your
bones close. People stop growing at different ages. You might stop
growing in your mid teens. Or you might continue growing into your
twenties. How tall you get is mainly determined by how long your long
bones are.

If you believe you are not as tall as you should be, you might have
have an absence of a growth hormone. Your doctor can run tests to find
out if you lack this hormone. It's quite possible! I've found that
some symptoms of this loss of growth hormone include arthritis and a
severe changing of your facial features.


i typed this question into google and got the answer on the first result


google > random people on forums, unless u want to have a discussion, which means wading through crap

Yeah, sure, drink a lot of milk. But before doing that please read this.

"Everything you know about cow's milk and dairy is probably part of a Dairy industry MYTH. "
