I'm 17 years old.my hight is 6 inc can i decrease my hight?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
No, but...: A normal person cannot normally decrease his or her height, but do realize that the AVERAGE male adult height in Denmark, Norway, Sweden, and Finland is 5 feet 11 inches or so. That means a 6-foot tall guy there is just a tad over average height. For normal people, we just let nature be, and not try to mess with their heights. An annual check-up with a pediatrician can see if everything is normal.
