    Well, he can't exactly grow taller. Tell him not to worry. Wait a couple years, he'll grow taller then her (probably.) Tell him to eat healthy, and get enough sleep so he's healthy and he grows at a regular pace. FYI caffeine and sugar stun growth so stay away from coffee, soda, sweets etc.

    EDIT

    How old are they? i'm talking for a teen/child. If not, i agree with the answer above.

    You can't grow any taller after you are done growing. There is nothing that can make you taller or stretch your legs to be longer. My boyfriend is pretty short, he's like exactly my height. So sometimes I feel werid like people may think I look taller than him, but then again I don't really care what people think. He could maybe buy shoes that have a thicker soul which will give him like an extra 2 inches. I'm not saying platform shoes or anything. Just something with a thicker bottom to it, that will add a bit to his height if it bothers him that much.

    Get Taller Today

    Do you want you grow taller? You’re not alone. Thousands of people

    around the world are unhappy with how their height and seek to change

    it. Fortunately, there are ways to do so.

    If you want to make yourself taller, it’s best to start when you’re

    young. When your body is still growing, you can enhance the process by

    maintaining a good diet and exercising regularly. In fact, it’s very

    important that you do both of these things, lest your health suffer.

    By this I mean that if you eating nothing but junk throughout your

    teens, you actually risk stunting your growth. When you don’t get

    enough nutrients such as protein, calcium, calories, and amino acids,

    your body starts to take these nutrients from other sources, including

    your bones. This can cause weakened bones as well as other health

    complications.

    Exercising to make your height taller does work to some extent, but you

    must do so when you are still growing. There are many scams on the

    market today that claim to know exercises that are able to stretch your

    bones after they’ve stopped growing. This does not work. Nothing can

    make your bones grow again once you’ve reached adulthood.

    However, by exercising, you increase muscle mass, which in turn makes

    your bones stronger as they carry your additional weight. Exercising

    also increases a height growth hormone when you’re younger, which helps

    in speeding your growth spurts. Exercising when you’re young can also

    prevent bone weakening diseases as well as much of the shrinking that

    sometimes occurs when you grow older.

    If you’re an adult and wish to grow taller, there are many methods you

    can try. Dressing to make yourself look taller is an effective method.

    Wearing solid colors, pinstripes, and shoes with height enhancing

    insoles can be very useful. Exercising makes you slimmer, which also

    increases the illusion.

    Some adults resort to limb lengthening surgery to make themselves

    taller. This should only be considered in an extreme emergency, as

    doctors who are qualified to perform this surgery are hard to find. It

    is a very expensive, painful, risky procedure.

    Tell your friend that he should be thankful he was not born a dwarf.. But even having said that, drinking plenty of milk and jumping really helps.
