natural height increase??????

Hi, i am currently 5"5' and i am beginning to feel bad about my height. Ever since i was young people have been joking about mi height and up untill i was 12 i used 2 get upsset about it.

Since then when people have been joking about it i would turn n say a better joke just to show that im not bothered. i used to think that i would have a growth spurt to become a more average height. But now the closer i get to being of that age when we no longer grow any more i realise im still going to be short.

It doesnt help that the fact that everyone i know mi age is at atleast 4 inches taller than me. and when i get the **** taken out of me its begining to upset me again as i have had to put up with it all my life.

but THE MAIN REASON I AM WRITING is to see if anyone knows any way to increase growth naturally i.e no supplements or just to stimulate mi pirtuirty ( soz bout tha spellin) gland 2 produce the hormone??


by the way my GP was considering GH injections a few years back but decided against it due to the fact that he thaught i may have a hell of a growth spurt


Best Regards
