If you're still at puberty, fear not - there are tons of opportunities still. But as you're most likely done with puberty, it gets a little trickier. But as you should already know, I wouldn't write this if growing taller at your age was impossible, would I?
When we get into puberty, growth plates at the ends of the longer bones lengthen gradually. This is a small part of why most people grow quickly during puberty.If you're young and want to increase your height, a good diet and exercise can work great.

If, on the other hand, you're already done with puberty, your options are few. Using special clothes and accessories can make you look taller, if that's all you need. Wearing for example pinstripes makes you look taller, and it also adds a slimming effect.

It makes you look taller as well as it prevents backaches, neck aches and so on. Doing this might not help you grow taller but learning these Grow Taller Tips will help you look taller. And that can be enough for most people.
