Working out at the: gym will not help you grow taller. The more important thing is to get help so that you do not measure your self-worth by how tall you are. A mental health professional can help you sort this out. He/she may also do some assertiveness training w/you. Be a good, clean, and positive person and you will do best. Peace and good health.
