handlebars on a Mongoose XR250

So I understand that this is possible, but I tried one of the
descriptions I've found and kind of did not work.

http://www.socalmtb.com/messages/mtb/messages/2257.htm

They were saying unscrew the screw on the handlebars and move it left
and right to lift it up. Yeah, they are not moving, but my actual
handle bars moved and the component under the handle moved making the
handlebars wiggle. I had to unscrew the handle bars to lower them to
keep the component in place.

Is this even possible. I love the bike, but the handlebars are very
low for my height and I'm desperate to make this bike perfect.

If you have an answer, please help. Images would be so great!

Thanks

I can't find your bike on the Mongoose website, but if you could provide
a link to a picture of it, I (or many others in this newsgroup) would be
happy to let you know what's practical, what's not, and how to do it if
it is.

You need either a stem raiser:

or a taller handlebar:

or a taller stem:

So choose one, and proceed.
