Lithium

That's where the line between just dating and boyfriend/girlfriend relationships lies... I've read several posts asking about it. I think it's not wrong to see them both, because you're not committed to either of them. So, I guess it comes down to getting to know them better, and then choosing who is the one you want to have a serious relationship (you know, the real deal, boyfriend/girlfriend...) with. I hope that helped. It's just my opinion. I hope it goes well

Ok, I'll pm you. But I'll also try the monkey bars... I'll tell you in a couple of months if I've had any results at all (whether it's natural growth, or monkey bars won't matter as long as there are results...). Thanks you.

What do you mean? That I probably won't need that?

Hmmm, well, I guess it simply would be to hang from them... Maybe try to do some chin ups/pull ups.

I do want to play in college. Now my question is: Is it too late to use the monkey bars? If I get to at least 6'3" my chances of making it happen will be less slim (ok, I'm not that optimistic about it, but hey, I want to try... Besides, I've got the talents, all I'm missing is a little bit of height...). So, should I try the monkey bars?

For more info, take a look at my post in: link removed . I'm 16, and will be 17 in like 5 months... I'll be a Junior in High School. Well, the truth is: I'm into basketball big time. The problem is that my pals tease me because they're all taller than me. Well, they don't tease me, but they're as good as I am in the game, except that unlike me, they can even dunk it (the smallest one of them is 6'4"...) I think that if I were at least 6'3" (maybe even 6'2") I'd be able to dunk it as easy as them... I have worked on my jump like crazy, but still... I can't get as high as they can (they jump a lot too, so I'd like to put up more of a fight...), so they are good on blocking my shots because I'm not even 6'1". Well, my question is: Would hanging from those "monkey bars", or whatever you want to call them, or from anywhere in general, for long periods of time everyday + a more decent calcium intake help me? Or is it too late? My older bro, the only grown-up brother I have, is 6' tall and I'm a little bit taller than him, which makes me that tallest in the family... He never hung from anything and I don't think he had the most adequate calcium intake, which makes me think he could have been taller if he had taken more care... Just tell me what would help me... I know being 6'/6'1" is not bad, though... But I'd always want to be taller (at least 6'2"/6'3", which I think should be attainable... after all, I'm not asking to get to 6'9"...). So, I'd like to hear all opinions, thank you.

Yeah, I do want to play basketball better, but I just know that it would be hopeless to even wish to get to 6'9". But 6'2"... It seemed so attainable... Does hanging in those... how do you say it... Monkey bars? Hand bars? Would it help me a little? About how much time a day should I hang from those? I would love to get to 6'3" but would be more than glad to at least get to 6'2"... I always was told I would get to 6'3", even by doctors (An Endocrinologist that prescribed me a medicine over 3 years ago, because I used to be obese b/c my thyroid gland used to not function properly. He said it would help me grow more too... oh and that I had to take the medicine until I was at least 18 ). But now it doesn't seem like it will be possible... Or can I do anything to help a little? Would the calcium + monkey bars/hand bars (or whatever you want to call them...) + basketball and maybe a little swimming help?

You've got talent! I like your poem a lot =D>.

Well, I think most people would consider me of a decent height (6 ft, which is 1.83 meters). Well, I'm actually at 6' 1/2", but not even 6' 1" (1.855 meters)... I always wished I could be taller than that. I thought I would at least reach 6' 2" (1.88 meters), or maybe 6' 3" (the height I really really wanted to get to, which is about 1.90 meters). Is there anything I can do? I'm 16 and will be 17 later this year. I know that the older I get, the less chances I will have to grow more. Also, I think I'm at an advanced stage of puberty already (Or maybe even past puberty?... The pitch in my voice started getting lower when I was mid 14) and I already have a low pitched voice by now (well, some people that hear my voice in the phone know that I'm a teenager still, though). Well, I don't know if it has much to do with how much I will grow... But here's what has happened: When I was 14 I grew like 4 inches in only like 6 months (maybe the famous growth spurt?), and then when I was 15 I was already at 5' 11". 6 months after I was already 15, I had just grown 1 inch. Now, they measured me quite recently and I have grown just 1/2 an inch since then. So, I'm at 6' 1/2". Is there anything weird with me? I mean, I just finished my sophomore year in high school and I just grew 1/2 an inch. I mean, isn't it in high school where you're supposed to grow a lot and change a lot (not just psychologically...) in those 4 years? I thought I would be 6' 3" by my senior year. But I'll be a Junior already (11th grade) after this summer, and I'm only 6' 1/2". Everyone thought I would be taller, but I think I won't grow much more... Well, enough about the "story", my question is: Does anybody have any tips on how to grow just a couple of inches more? What do I have to change in my diet (should I drink more milk and less soda?), work outs (Does weight-lifting affect me? I don't lift very often, in fact, I almost never lift, I do mostly the lat pull-downs, because I want to strengthen my back muscles + upper chest...), or anything else?
