Well, you might not be done growing yet. I don't know if you can make yourself taller, but there are things you can do to make yourself appear taller, wearing heals or platform shoes for example, or a really big hat. Why do you want to be taller anyway? I'm tall, and trust me, it's over rated. Tall people don't live as long, in fact you lose a year for every inch. So just enjoy being who you are.

Hit Google.com and type in "grow taller". You'll find a vast amount of sites that claim they can add inches to your height. I can't begin to tell you which is accurate or not though.

After reaching the age of puberty, the growth in height gets retarded in the girls. However, start playing basketball and practice long jumps. But do not practice high jumps.

Play basketball or do stretches from a high pole for 10 minutes everyday!

You are genetically programed as far as how tall you will be. There really is not any thing you can do to make your self taller. It is just nature.

Ask you doctor to inject you with a dose of growth hormones.
