A bunch of different factors go into determining your final height. Genetics are a major factor. If your parents are on the shorter side you will probably be too (though this is not always the case, I am much taller than both my mother and father). Nutrition and free of diseases are also very important....but I assume since you are on yahoo answers you are not from a developing country where you were malnurished. Either way, it doesn't really matter how tall or short you are (I tend to bang my head a lot on low doors, it really hurts), just be happy with who you are. Read my source for more information.

there's nothing much u can do to get taller, a hormone in the brain controls this ( the pituitary gland ) if there is any medicine which contains this harmone then u can get taller,i am sure there are medicine that make the harmone secrete more growth hormone, ask a doctor about this.

You may want to grow, but genetics are against you. Do you have short parents? There's a sure chance you'll be short.
Try to use it to your advantage. Wears heels, learn how to shop in petites.
You're not really that short, really.
