Exercises don't make you taller, anyone who says so is wrong.
Your maximum height is determined by your genes. And the best way to reach your maximum height is to eat right and get plenty of sleep, since you do your growing (for the most part) while you are asleep.
As for determining your maximum possible height, it's difficult to say. The best guess is just to look at your family, especially your direct ascendants (Mother, father, grandparents), and figure you'll probably grow to be a little taller than their average height. If one of your parents was short, you'll be a little shorter too.

Sorry, there's no way to make yourself grow taller. You will grow as tall as your genes determine.
However, posture can make a couple of inches difference. When I was 18 years old and 5 ft 1 inches, I took up ballet. Now girls generally stop growing before 18, as you know. Imagine my surprise when, a couple of years later, I had to be measured for a medical and discovered that I was now 5ft 3 inches!
I realised that if I let myself slouch - which is the way I used to walk and stand - I could lose the two inches again. So posture does make a difference.
Don't stress too much about your height. It's quality that matters, not quantity! If you are concerned about being attractive, when you grow up you will find that lots of men are attracted to petite girls.

Other than growth hormones i dont know any way but I'm shorter than you (4'10") and I've learned to live with my hight deficiancy. I just stopped growing recently and it took a while till i came to like being short. There are some perks you just gotta look for them.

Basketball makes you grow taller, I know that. Just eat healthy and get your calcium. You'll be good. I assume you are young. So you're still growing. Chill out!
