How can you stop growing or get shorter?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
You don't: Sorry, learn to love the height you were blessed with. Can't make you stop growing toward your potential . Can't squish you back down or saw part of you off. Although steroids may impact height, they would not be taken for this purpose. Take care.
