Our seem a little depressed with your height which you think is very short as compared to your peers or your parents. However, I am sorry to say that at 21 years of age it is almost impossible to increase your height. Your hormones and genes will not allow your body to grow. A person's height is mainly influenced by his genes and also by nutrition and environment. But, why do you want to so desperately increase your height? I know there are disadvantages of being short in height and sometimes a huge confidence buster, however, you should be proud of what you are or who you are. I am sure that a little increase in height would not make any difference to your personality. I have known people who are 5'8 and yet depressed of their height and wish that they could be 6'0. What I am trying to say is that you will never be happy and content if you are not content with what you have. Make the best of what you are.
