New Year Revolutions

For one part of my new year revolution, I have decided to try to grow a plant.
And so when googling what plant would be easy to grow I came across a article on ehow, it was about "the best way to grow taller as a teen". When I saw it I immediately read it, although this is only because I am abnormally small, I am just under 5ft and 16 years old.
There is 7 steps to growing taller and some of them are common sense such as eating an apple or exercising, although I'm not sure this has anything to do with height...
Although there was one step which caught my eye and this was to hand from a pull up bar for 5 mins, something to do which elongating the spine. And so adding to my new year revolutions I shall hang for 5 mins a day, until I get bored of it.
