Give me suggestions to grow taller at age of 17?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Grow taller: There are no suggestions. Given that your are a male you will still have some growth till about 19-20years of age. Your growth is determined by your genes, some environmental, dietary components. Unless you do something abnormal like take hormones - its a natural process.
