Your friends were right about this. The only way to gain height at your age is through surgery. The surgeon will have to break your leg bone and then use an adjustable stretcher to separate the 2 pieces of bone by a tiny amount, and then you will have to increase the separation little by little. This is a very painful and tedious process. They use this only for extremely short people.

you can't gain height

5'7" is not a bad height at all.Be happy in whatever you are.Exercise regurlay and keep yourself fit.

like your friends say, you are most likely done growing. girls finish around 16, guys finish around 20. a doctor can take an x-ray and determine for sure if you are done growing, but 2 more inches seems highly unlikely.

Put lifts in your shoes. Alternatively, you could find a vocation or avocation that makes good use of your height. You are a little tall for a even a jump jockey, but it is always useful for plumbers, electricians and HVAC contractors to be able to fit into small spaces. You could learn to be proud of yourself as you are and grateful for the size you have. Hating your height and trying to hide it is about as attractive as hating your head for being bald and trying to hide it with a cheap toupee or a bad combover. It is always much more attractive to be comfortable in your own skin, like the guys who shave their heads or keep the little they have neatly trimmed and put on a smile instead. Would anyone say that Michael Jordan or Howie Mandell is unattractive? What about Donald Trump? It is the same with height. Ever notice how jockeys often attract models? Maybe it is because they are proud of the size they are and make good use of it.

Dude, we already answered your question. (SEE I knew he was 5'7" and exaggeratign his shortness.)

Stretch your spine. Ask a physiotherapist to show you how to do it properly. If your lucky, you can get 1-2 inches out of it. If not, later on in life, you wont shrink (yes, you do shrink).

you actually stop growing at age 21 which is why that is the drinking age because alcohol stunts your growth

You are already of normal height. Your best, least expensive and least painful option is shoes with a good sized heel. Nothing personal but there's an expression that goes something like "If you were 4 inches taller, you'd still be an asshole." So seriously consider whether being taller is the only and best option to feel better about yourself. By and large, tall guys are every bit as insecure as short guys, they don't have better love lives, if they're not fretting about height they're fretting about acne, believing they're too fat or too thin, wondering if their hair looks right, and so forth. But if you don't care and feel you must become taller, see an Endocrinologist and arrange to get human growth hormone injections. It will cost a minimum of $10,000 and it's not covered by insurance. There's some risk of heart damage too.

At 22 you've probably stopped growing and won't gain anymore height. You could either get lifts in your shoes or have an operation to break the bones in your legs, separate them and join them together again with metal plates. Or are you just being vain?
