text: any advise on how i can grow in height im 5ft5 and hate it?   i looked at about a dozen sites on the web but they all were trying to sell something and there were none that were sponsored by a reputable medical organization.  the one thing you could try that could not hurt you (except your pocketbook if you don't like them) is a pair of elevator shoes. http://www.increasingshoes.com/?source=hiscouk  sometimes a short man rises above others because he works diligently to show that he can accomplish something and, thus, overcompensates for his height. bob corker, a former chattanooga mayor, has just been elected to the u.s. senate, the only new republican senator elected this november, despite his opponent's mocking him for his height. http://www.newsmax.com/archives/ic/2006/11/6/223949.shtml?s=rss  you didn't say how old you are but it is possible that you still have a growth spurt to look forward to.
