So fit I am 20 and short, only about 5'8".
Is there a chance I could grow another inch or two, or am I boned?
Is there any exercise that would stretch me out?

I'm 18 and that height. I'm also wondering if I'm done growing because I look young as fuck.

5'8" isn't that short, even for an American. You're done, most likely, just don't get a complex or people will make fun of your height just because it bothers you.

22 and 5'9". I'm not taller than many of my friends, but I'm not shorter than the girls so it isn't obvious. I was told by the doctors that I would be well over 6' but the doctor was a dumbass. I'm only mad because I can't dunk.

thousands of dollars? not a big deal. if that were tens of thousands I'd be BAWWWWing

Also to OP:
I'm 5'8'' as well. it's average in the country, but I'm in university right now (66% white) and I feel short.
I'm south-asian and taller than both my parents and relatives, but shorter than most of my friends (brown and otherwise).

Just learn to live with it, nothing you can do really.

The world is against you as a short man. You will try harder the even the odds and people will say you have a Napoleon Complex.

Don't worry about it and don't focus all your attention on it. Try to enjoy the perks of not banging your head on things and not looking retarded in small cars/motorcycles.

You can't grow an inch, but you can definitely lose an inch if your bones are weak (happened to me thanks to a medication), so be sure to take your calcium and eat properly.

FUCK'S SAKE

MOST HUMAN MALES ARE IN THE 5'5" TO 5'9" RANGE. THE OTHER SMALL AMOUNT OF PEOPLE THAT ARE ABOVE THAT ARE USUALLY SKINNY FUCKING ECTOMORPHS ANYWAY. THERE IS NO SUCH THING AS A SHORT MAN - ONLY TALL ONES. MESOMORPHS AND ENDOMORPHS HAVE AVERAGE HEIGHT. NOTICE HOW MOST BODYBUILDERS ARE 5'4" TO 5'10"? YEAH. DON'T SWEAT IT.

5'9" is the average height for the American adult male. Asian countries it's shorter, Scandinavian countries taller. If you are smaller than the average height, really the only problem I've seen is picking up women, most of whom prefer taller guys. And 5'8" might as well be average, it's only an inch shorter than 5'9". So if you are 5'8" you are not short. 5'6" is really pushing it though, and less than that, you better have a big dick.

Having a big dick is nice, but very few women will see if they're not interested in you because of your less than sufficient height.

I'm not mad, because at 6'4" I can dunk.

But honestly, don't let it bother you. 5'8"? That's only a mild deviation from the average American male height, if I remember correctly, it doesn't matter. Even if you're noticeably shorter, it's only a problem if you make it one.

This is true. I can't believe how fucking shallow people are, it makes me want to go on a psychotic killing spree. Call me bitter if you like, you're right, I am bitter, how can I not be if someone equally qualified gets ahead of me in the world just because he’s a few inches taller?

>You will try harder the even the odds and people will say you have a Napoleon Complex.

I want to vomit with rage every time I hear a person described as having a ‘Napoleon Complex’. It seem the only criteria for people to make this diagnosis is to be short and but ALSO have some form of life ambition.

So basically, short people are being discouraged from ever seeking a position of power or respectability or even doing anything meaningful with their lives because the ONLY reason they could possibly be doing so is to compensate for their lack of height.

Lurk moar.

Anyway, so from what I've read after lurking, males stops growing taller naturally around the age of 18 but there are a few things that stimulate further growth.

Idk, I'm a bit skeptical with the exercises on the site but try it anyway since its not my problem. Personally I think 5'8" isn't that short although its slightly less than average. I'm 5'9" and I'm cool with it. I'm taller than most people I meet anyway (inb4 AZNS).

There's this funny stuff that a friend of mine (he's 5'2" I think) told me, which he said it was from his grandmother (lol), how tall guys die faster than shorter guys. His point was since the heart is pretty much the same size amongst everyone and it pumps blood with varying work depending on the size of the body. A tall, larger guy dies faster compared to a smaller guy because the heart needs to do more work and thus *expires* sooner compaired to said shorty.

His bullshit made me rage. I was like FFFFFFFFUUUUUU- but I could understand that his granny meant well by trying to make him feel better about his height.

I would think heightism is barely common in most places, at least. The shortest U.S. president was 5'3. Sarkozy, the current president of France, is like 5'5, which is also about normal for French guys...when I went over there for vacation, it surprised me how short most people were.
