good nutrition, better health systems to name a few. before people didn't have access to good food or any food at all. and if everyone is getting taller - they make children that are more likely to be tall as well.
Answer by AbeLincolnParty
My guess is no as your long bones have probably grown together by now and when that happens increases in height is stopped.
But then again I am not an endocrinologist, maybe you are different, but I would not wait long to see one as time is ticking.
Answer by Smiley Girl
"Growth is triggered in both boys and girls by increased levels of the sex hormone testosterone. This chemical also triggers the sexual organs to develop. In fact, the relationship between growth of the skeleton and puberty is so strong that a teenager's developmental age can be measured by looking at the maturity of the bones in their hand and wrist."
"Control of Growth
Hormones are chemicals produced by special cells in glands and other organs of the body; most hormones are produced by cells in the endocrine glands. These hormones, which are produced in very small amounts, are released into the bloodstream and travel to the "target organ" or tissue where they exert their effect.
Several hormones are involved in regulating growth. Some act directly on target organs, while others act by triggering the production of other hormones, which activate specific organ functions necessary for growth. This finely tuned system can malfunction in several ways, causing abnormal growth.
The pituitary gland is often called the master gland because it produces several hormones that control the functions of other glands. It is located in the middle of the skull below the part of the brain called the hypothalamus. The pituitary gland has two distinct parts: An anterior (front) lobe and a posterior (rear) lobe. The pituitary gland secretes its hormones in response to chemical messages from the hypothalamus, the part of the brain to which it is connected.
Growth hormone is an anterior pituitary hormone whose main effect is to promote growth of body tissues. Other anterior pituitary hormones affect growth indirectly by working through other glands. These other hormones include:
Thyroid Stimulating Hormone (TSH) - causes the thyroid gland to produce thyroid hormone, which regulates body metabolism and is essential for normal growth.
Adrenocorticotropic Hormone (ACTH) - causes the adrenal glands to produce cortisol (stress hormone) and other hormones that enable the body to respond to stress. Too much cortisol will cause growth failure in a child.
Luteinizing Hormone (LH) and Follicle Stimulating Hormone (FSH) - cause the sex glands (ovaries or testes) to produce sex hormones, which are necessary for adolescent sexual development and the growth spurt that accompanies puberty.
The major hormone produced by the posterior pituitary gland -is called vasopressin, or anti-diuretic hormone (ADH). It controls water output through the kidneys."
hope this helps a little

its genetics bro, not even HGH will make you taller. It'll make you pretty buff though.... If youre gonna be short, might as well be stout.
Answer by kt
Hormones control the reproductive cycle in both men and women. First of all, gonadotropin-releasing hormone (GnRH) is produced in the hypothalamus of the brain, and moves to the pituitary. The pituitary produces and releases lutenizing hormone (LH) and follicle stimulating hormone (FSH). In women, they cause the maturation of an egg in the ovaries, and cause the build-up of the endometrium in the uterus. In men, they stimulate spermatogenesis and testosterone production and release.

Answer by Angela
Yes, but unless you need it.. It can do some crazy, horrid things to your face & since you don't have tall parents, I doubt they will give it to you. Small people make small people (usually).
Answer by katie
So, I may be foolish bit I'll assume that you are not a troll.
Human height is determined by things like nutrition and genetics. Even though ancient groups of humans may have had, in general, differences in their height, they were still members of the same species. Cultural differences between groups of ancient humans were probably influenced by a whole lot of different things (environment, food, resources), height might not have been that important, overall.
I haven't heard of any evidence of "giant" humans in the past. If you are referencing the stories in the bible, I'm not sure they are all backed up by scientifically valid evidence.
Answer by Inferno
Nothing is going to help you grow taller because height depends on genetics.
Answer by secretsauce
For helping children with deficiencies in HGH ... yes.
For treating adults with deficiencies in HGH that would otherwise lead to decreased strength and bone density ... yes.
To help a high-school or college kid beef up to be a bigger linebacker ... no.
To help a professional linebacker keep up with other professionals ... no ... but for different reasons. They're adults, and can do whatever they want to with their own bodies (as long as they are informed of the risks). But (a) as a lover of sport, it is (IMO) missing the point of what sports should be about; and (b) far more importantly, professional athletes are models for aspiring college and high-school athletes.
Answer by izzy
You would need a doctor to answer this question and a doctor to administer it.
HGH taken orally is useless.
