Taller

Most Asians from the Far East are generally shorter than Caucasians. This is natural, and genetic. But since height is considered a desirable characteristic, both in men and women, people now have the desire to have their children grow taller and maybe experience advantages of being taller than their parents. Like become a model or a celebrity. Or have an advantage in sports like basketball or tennis. Or simply be thought of as attractive

That's why there are supplements that promise increase in height in children. Parents do give these in the hope that their kids would grow just a bit taller. Growth hormones are also available, although human growth hormone side effects may be pretty tricky.

While it's all right to aspire for "greater heights" so to speak, it pays well to remember that in the end, we are what we are -- whatever our height is.
