Can stretching really make you taller?

I've been doing stretching exercises for some time to increase my height. Well I've seen no results. I'm kinda desperate to get taller by at least 2 inches and all that I've done had no results. I'm 14 but I don't think I'll grow anymore.

    I don't think so, but when I was 14, I grew about 2-5 inches taller (I'm 17 at the moment). So I'm pretty sure you'll grow more, even if you're a female or male. Unfortunately, there's really nothing you can do to make yourself grow now that I've heard of, but a growth spurt can happen at any time. Female friends (even some guys) I knew when I was 14 were really short, and then when they turned 15, the next year in school they were quite tall, if that makes you feel better.

    Seems have a big turn in a person's life. The external form of a person is ideal in the eyes of the planet when every feature is assembled in flawlessness or very nearly there. Of all of them, height represents an important role.

    Height is not just lots is one of the critical standards in plenty of areas: sports, being a part of the security force, wooing someone, obtaining a work or just bolstering one's assurance therefore, if you want to be slightly taller you just have to use this program https://bitly.im/aOqlU , grow taller 4 Idiots.

    The combination of proteins with growth hormones, could certainly lead to a taller stature and this really is what you would study on this book, how you can set this mixture used because this system really work for nearly all people.

    "Can stretching really make you taller?"

    No, it cannot.

    "I've been doing stretching exercises for some time to increase my height. Well I've seen no results."

    Of course not, because it does not work.

    "I'm kinda desperate to get taller by at least 2 inches and all that I've done had no results. I'm 14 but I don't think I'll grow anymore."

    Iodine in your diet, and cow's milk has hormones that would tell a calf to grow, and tells human bones to grow longer. You are young enough if you are male, to get more height before you hit 18 or so. If you are female, maybe not.

    Iodine will tend to make your zits act up, so take it easy there. Maybe just increased seafood intake.

    [EDIT:

    Here the ninnys that want to niggle details want me to say:

    If you do not eat properly, you can artificially shorten yourself:

    http://www.oarsijournal.com/article/S1063-4584%280...

    ... and so if you don't eat these things, and have not up to this point, you may be shorter than you'd otherwise be had you eaten them. And it may or may not be worthwhile to try boosting your diet over these next 3 -4 years, to see if you can get more height.

    It can stimulate blood flow and assist in growth. You will have another couple of growth spurts.
