There are several ways:
Wait till old age - most people get shorter as they age.
Shorten an abnormally long leg (bone shortening or femoral shortening). Shortening a longer leg is usually indicated for patients who have achieved skeletal maturity, meaning that their bones are no longer growing. This surgery can produce a very precise degree of correction.
Stand in front of a concave "fun house" mirror. This is a quick way to look short.
Have your legs shortened. Medical procedures do exist for shortening or lengthening bones.

Yes, but maybe there are those who believe tall is very beautiful. Anyways I've read that they can take a couple of inches out of the middle of the femur bone to make you shorter. Personally though, I really like tall.

why wouldn't you be proud of whatever height you are - no there is no way to make you shorter - just wear flats and buy long lengths ie talls in clothing that many stores sell. I am assuming you are a woman with this question...
if u are not tall guys are the best.

Join a circus and get the job as the human canonball...on average, circus performers who do this can lose up to 2.5 inches in height..;I met a girl about 12 years ago who had lost 2 inches in height after doing the job for 6 years...apparently the spine gets compressed over a period of time.

surgery, remove sections of bone from the legs. or, use an ejection-seat a few times, until the cartillidge in your spine is compressed beyond repair.

If you are still growing you can drink coffee, and that stunts your growth. But you should like being tall, as there is many advantages to it.

Chopping you legs off might work or wait til you are old and don't ever drink anything with calcium and you'll become osteoporotic.
