    Sleep a lot. Especially if you're going through your growth spurt.

    Every gym teacher i've had in school has told the class that working out at a young age stunts your height growth. I remember this kid in grade 7 who started working out hardcore.. now in grade 11 he's muscular and still the same height as he was in grade 11, so I believe it.

    So you can work out, just don't over-do it.

    I do think doing weights while you are in your early teens does stunt growth

    I was doing bench pressing, leg curls, bicep curls, weightless squats at 13-14

    at about 5'8.....by the end of high school I was only 5'10..I hardly grew after that...needless to say I come from a relatively short family, so in my case I don't think I would have grown to like 6'2 or anything

    A friend of mine did the same and he's been 5'8 since year 7 but he's from a tall family and all of his bros are 6'1+....he says its the biggest mistake he's ever made in his life

    By the time you ask this question, its probably too late. Sleep patterns assively influence your growth, as does diet. Its a little known fact that Asian genetics result in short folks due to generations of eating a diet that consists only of carbohydrates

    You can always getting that Growth Hormone injected into you. lol . It has a lot of side affects and you'll probably end up being disfigured. But hey, at least you'll be taller, right? lol
