I have the same problem. I am 20 years old and about 5' 3" in height. I don't really mind my height other that not finding jeans short enough for my short legs. I've heard that a person grows in hight up until age 21 based on family genetics. I am guessing you are between 16 and 18. I find nothing wrong with being short. In fact, one of my favorite quotes is, I'm not short, I'm fun-sized

That is going to be difficult, you can't get taller in a week or 2 unless you buy stiletto shoes!!! The only way is standing straight, good posture and high heels or platform shoes. I saw on t.v. once an extreme operation that a person had; they stretch the bones with screws, the person grew about 4 inches higher and kept stretching some more, but this person was a midget and needed this operation. It was very painful because he has to stay with those screws for months.

Sorry honey to have to break it to you, but I doubt there's anyway you can shoot up within a couple of weeks. It's okay to be petite. Or you can have an op, but it'll be darn painful. However, my coach used to tell me, girls can still grow taller till the ripe old age of 20 if you excercise regularly. I can't prove it though, cos I haven't tried it. Or you can try drinking lots of milk, but I'm not sure it'll help. In any case, all these 'methods' take a pretty long time to see some darn effect. If there's any. So my advice? Stick with heels, they are a sure way to get 'tall'.

yeah, anyone watch Gattaca? It's freaky actually...
I'm not very tall, but I appear to be taller than I am due to the fact that I regularly wear heels. Then, even when I don't wear them, good posture still convinces people that I'm not short. (And I'm 5')
So, I don't think you'll be able to get taller with a week or two, but wearing heels and improving your posture may help in the long run.

I highly doubt you can make yourself get taller in any wa except waiting for yourself to grow, but I suppose I could be very wrong. Stretching doesn't make you taller though....just more limber.
