Men keep growing into their twenties, don't panic, you may yet have a growth spurt. If not, height isn't everything.

Well... um... I don't mean to sound liek a jerk, but you'll have to get new genetics.
There are a lot of things that are determined by genetics. Our height, our metabolism, our appearnces, many health problems (often including death), some of our intelligence, and even some of personalities.
There are some contraversial treatments out there. Growth Hormone therapy is one of them but it sound slike your past that age. Besides, they cost several thousands of dollars and insurance usually can't cover it.
A lot of men also wear boots or have special insoles in their shoes to make themselves appear taller. They may even be careful on what they wear.
Its sad because men are judged by how tall they are! You never never hear a woman say they want somebody short, dark, and hansome. Or short, pasty, and one eye higher than the other for that matter.... Then again, as men, we don't ask for asymetrical breasts either.
You also may get another growth spurt in puberty so theres defintely still hope.
The best I can say is work on your own character, abilities, skills, and not worry about the hieght. Get a good education, get a good job, and get lots of money. Women will go for the money thing before height, even though a lot won't admit to it.
Hope this helps.

well...for starters ur not done growing yet...there is nothing that will make u grow besides ur body....
I suggest just waiting it out and u never know....u might get a growth spurt this year!!!
But make sure that ur happy with urself and dont compare urself to everyone else. Eat healthy ( lots of milk!!) and get exercise. Be happy and enjoy ur youth!
PS. IT could be genetics....if everyone in ur family is short that could be why ur a little bit shorter than some people....its ok tho...be happy and smile!

I know how you feel but,height is nothing. Those who are tall wants to be short and those who are short wants to be tall.
It depends what you want in life.
some wants to be big because they want to be Sumo player or smack down.
Some wants to be tall in order to be models
I think at 15 you should be able to add from 5'1 to 5'5 when you are older. So don't worry at the moment. Just enjoy your tenage

your lucky your a guy, youll continue growing until your like 20
if your a girl like me, youll probably stop growing around puberty, which unfortunately for me was barely 11 years old... being short is not fun, functional, or attractive, be thankful youve got a good amount of time before your stop growing
also, wearing heals doesnt work if your REALLY short like me, it just ends up looking like im playing dress up with mom's shoes

Hey Cool Dude
Start a fashion.
Boys high heel shoes.
You won't get a girl - but you will have a lot of queer friends!

Someone once recommended me to massage my big toe, because there is a point that stimulates the pituitary (growth) gland.

Your height is genetically decided for you. However to assure that you grow as much as possible eat your veggies.
