If you are over 18, you probably won't become taller. You can wear lifts (elevator shoes) to add a few inches. The song writer/singer Paul Williams does.
Before you get all depressed about your height, consider this. I've known two or three men who were short in my life and every one of them has my respect. One was the #1 civilian in a very large Civil Engineering squadron (Air Force). He was probably not more than 4 ft 10 because I'm 5' 4". NO ONE looked down on him. Well, physically they could, but no one thought anything about it because Jack Knudsen was the type of man you respected.
Paul Williams (the singer/song writer) is another good example. He has not let his height stop his career. He uses a bit of humor when it comes up, but you won't see anyone making cracks about his height unless it's in script.
Although its likely you won't want to be seen with a super model (5'8") there are a lot of women between 4'8" and 5'2" who would love to have a guy they can respect close to their own height. If you are sensitive about it, ask them not to wear heels. Women will GLADLY leave the heels at home.
The trick to making your height work for you is keep a neat appearance and wear clothes that fit. No piercings. They are so juvenile. No long hair. You want to look professional, but not a nerd. You can heighten this impression by treating others with respect and they will respect you.
By the way, Jake is an excellent name. Strong, but not overly macho. Your parents had good taste.

Sorry dude, unless you are under 18 years old or so- you won't get much taller. But look on the bright side, us tall guys always have to date all the women and pay for everything.

I'm so very sorry but the only suggestion is to wear high heels or high boots. You can see a docter and get surgery and he can make your legs longer. I read it in a book and its a true story. before you take my advise it says it will hurt really bad so if you want to take it go ahead but I warned you. The girl in the book was six years old. If your older than her I think you can take it. Good luck and god bless you. ^-^

See a doctor. You may have a hormonal problem. If you are over 18 there may not be anything you can do about it.

like everybody else is saying, if you're over 18 not much to do. there are inserts you can put in your shoes to add a couple inches, though.

Put yourself on the stretcher three to four times a day. No seriously, buddy, there is NO WAY TO BECOME TALLER. You are as tall or short as Nature deems. Period.

Platform shoes are a non-surgical answer.
