Mechanical tension and bone remodeling, the holy grail of controlling bone growth at young age.
If you're young (13-17) I highly suggest reading this thread
I'm gonna try to make this as quick and easy to understand as possible
How do I take advantage of that? (not cope)
That's about it boyos, let me know what guide I should make next and good luck!

Mechanical tension and bone remodeling are closely linked through Wolff's Law, and this process plays a key role in shaping and maintaining the bones of your face (ex. the maxilla, mandible and zygomatic bones).
Bone is not static — it's a living tissue that constantly renews itself. This lifelong process is called bone remodeling:
Osteoclasts break down old or damaged bone.
Osteoblasts build new bone matrix and mineralize it.
This results in an addition of bone mass to the concerned area, as shown in the picture down below.
These two activities are normally balanced, but they can shift in response to needs like repair, growth, or changing loads. In facial bones (which mostly form via intramembranous ossification), remodeling continues into adulthood, though it slows with age.

Mechanical tension refers to applying stress to the bone, in a pushing or hitting way, directly being linked to Wolff's law, which in simple terms mean, bones in a healthy body will remodel and strengthen in response to increased mechanical loading, becoming denser and architecturally better suited to resist those forces. But, if loading decreases, bones lose density and become weaker. BONES ADAPT TO THE LOADS UNDER WHICH IT IS PLACED.
MECHANICAL TENSION (WOLFF'S LAW) LEADS TO BONE REMODELING WHICH LEADS TO BONE GROWTH
We all know about the iconic principle of bonesmashing, but it is misunderstood by 90% of people.
So as we already learned, applying mechanical pressure on your bones triggers bone remodeling, which after some time thickens your bones, but here is where most goys get it wrong : hitting the bone ultra hard until it bleeds, IS NOT BONESMASHING, what you see is a temporary pump up, like an after gym pump, that goes away after 10 minutes. Now following the REAL concept of bonesmashing, here's what you're gonna want to do.
HIT THE BONE WITH LOW TO MEDIUM INTENSITY (SHOULDN'T HURT TOO MUCH)
FOR BEST RESULTS, BONESMASH EVERY DAY WITH NO REST DAYS (CONSTANT STRESS : FASTER AND BETTER RESULTS)
WHAT'S IMPORTANT IS TO STAY CONSISTENT
MORNING : 15 TO 30 MINUTES
NOON : 15 TO 30 MINUTES
EVENING : 15 TO 30 MINUTES
(IF POSSIBLE) MIDNIGHT : 15 TO 30 MINUTES
IN WHAT WAY YOU SHOULD HIT EACH BONE :

When bonesmashing you should always take supplements as they help keep the bone strong, heres the main ones.
Zinc
Magnesium
D3
K3

Yes yes I know...
It's cope.
Or is it?
Did I not just prove that it works?
Why do people mew then?
Why are MARPEs a thing?
Because IT WORKS
Of course, it will take time, and it might not have the results you expected, but you need to realize that you have to do it while your bones are still malleable, so here's a quick guide, taken from Oscar's videos.
There's many way you can do it, depending on where you wanna place your fingers, I feel like Oscar explains it very well so go listen to this quick video, it's very useful and it will help you understand the whole procedure.
Another one (step by step)
Now I don't really recommend this one but ig if you want to you can watch it.
