At 14 you CAN do something about your Height!
You need to go to an Endocrinologist, have your parents make an appointment through your Primary Care Physician.
What they will do is give you regulated doses of Incumbent Human Growth Hormone. Along with some vitamin shots that are similar to prenadle shots some women get when they are pregnant. As well as a strict diet for the next year or so.
Girls puberty cycle ends allot sooner than a males does on average. But at 14 you should still be able to grow more, even for a girl the ends of your bones shouldn't have completely ossified yet.
Your Dr, should be able to tell you all you need about this.
Good luck.

Possibilities...
You have bad posture that could be robbing you of inches. If that is the case. Try alexander technique or pilates. Particularly pilates. Pilates make fat people look thinner because it makes you look leaner. Try it you might bring out the illusion that you have gained a few inches.
As for growth stuff if you start menstruating. there is pretty much nothing to do. In chinese medicine there is this stuff that translates to 3 7 that you could take to boost your height. But that item works in the time when boys voice change and women just start menstruating. Otherwise pretty much a waste of dough. And the stuff taste like ****. looks like it too. You could use the new capsules but am told not as potent.

as already been stated, you can't do anything about your height. Once you hit puberity and have your growth spurt, that's where you're going to be.
The only thing you CAN do it to help yourself LOOK taller.
1. make sure you stand and sit straight, good posture is key
2. wear shoes with heels or thicker soles
3. add a little volume to the top of your hair
4. wear vertical stripes

Can't do anything about that. You will stay 5'3". You grow 2 inches after 1 year you get your period. After that you stop growing.

If you do not grow taller in the next couple years I guess you are just going to have to accept your height. Sorry.

Lawrence of Arabia was about that height. Napoleon was about five feet six inches. Looking for something in the stratosphere?
