You take one of his arm, another friend take his other arm, then two more friends take a leg each. Then you all try to run in opposite directs thereby stretching his limbs and making him taller. *wonders who will actually try this*

As far as I'm aware, you are the height that you are and all you can do to increase it is to strengthen your back and practice wlking as uprightly as you can. Why do you think you're friend is too small, has he some sort of problem? Danny Devito is 5 foot tall, Warwick Davis is 3 foot 6 inches tall, and as far as I know niether of them has a problem. But I do know of a few people who are over 6 foot 7 inches tall who have problems getting clothes to fit and problems with low ceilings.

I wasn't saying that he should try to become a giant, I was simple pointing out that everything is relative. He feels that he is too short, lots of others think that they are too tall, but without extensive surgery we are the way we are and that's how it will stay. The best way of becoming taller is to look at the good points about your height and learn to be happy with the way you are, there's usually some else with the exact opposite problem. Just tell your friend that he is who he is, he is as tall as he is, just stand up straight and enjoy it... and lots of girls like short men ;)

I think the best exercise to increase height is playing basketball. I have a few friends who played basketball in the primary school. Later they were so tall already in high school. This is not a coincidence. Playing basketball is really helpful.

first of all if his parents are small dont expect him to be taller than them. but exercise and right diet might help him get taller. yes,stretching exercises can help him get taller by a few centimeters. just do it at least three times a day and some vitamins for the bonescan also help...i hope this can help him....

Most exercises that involves jumping and rigorous stretching of the joints does help with one's height. However, the most assured exercise I know is rope skipping and there have been studies conducted with a 75% success rate. Sports like basketball and swimming are known to help as well being that the activities involve exercising the entire body. So, your friend may consider engaging in them besides rope skipping. Or, better still participate in all of them. Disclaimer: Please do not stress or participate in these activities if you have any underlying medical or health conditions. Kindly consult your physician to certify that you are physically fit before engaging in any strenuous activities.

Stretching early in the morning according to the Chinese will make you grow one inch every year. You do this lying down on the bed, then stretch your arms over your head as far as they would go, do the same thing with your legs, hold that position for 60 counts or so. There is no harm in trying.

I'm also short for my age, and I also want to get taller. :( Here in our country there's a superstition that when the clock strikes twelve and it's New Year, you should jump and that will make you taller. I don't believe that though. It's just a superstition. I do believe that stretching exercises work. My history professor told us that when he was a teenager he wanted so much to gain height so he did stretching exercises. And right now he's really tall. Once when I drank a chocolate drink that claims that it can make you taller, I did gain some inches. I also make sure that I sleep well.
