I hate milk but everyone tells me I'll get taller if I drink it. I don't see why because I'm not that short anyways? P.S. I'm 4'11 and 14 years old.
Thank you all for responding and I'm sorry for replying so late I forgot my username
I never really cared for it myself, sometimes a chocolate milk would taste good for a treat.
Drinking milk is very western thing, furthermore, there's enough micronutrients in a normal diet to support growth. As long as you aren't starving yourself your growth should be fine. Milk has a lot of calcium, which does promote bone growth, but so do most green vegetables.
If you mean cows milk, it's perfect for calves but not for many humans. What's more, it doesn't make you taller, that depends partly on your general nutrition and your genes.
It sounds as if you have some bullshitting grownups in your life: try and ignore them and focus on a healthy diet. You do need calcium for strong bones and teeth but it doesn't have to come from dairy milk: do you eat cheese and/or yogurt?
