yeah i know that you hate being short, im 17 and about 5'1. but dont worry, you're still only 14, your time is NOT running out. girls tend to grow all the way till 18-20 so you still have time.
drink LOTS and LOTS of milk. WHOLE milk, nothing else. like 3 times a day. and take calcium vitamins and centrum vitamins. do lots of exercise. dont take any drugs that are supposed to "increase your height." just eat healthy and exercise. dont try to make yourself grow and stuff. it'll happen naturally.
and best of all: be proud of your own height! it might just be that you're a shorty like me! there are all varieties of people. people come in all diff sizes and shapes, and all people are wonderful. so dont worry! the more you worry, the more stress-filled you will be, and that may stunt your growth too.
and once you turn like... 18 and are still 4'10 and you're STILL not happy, then maybe you could talk to your doctor and your parents and ask about growth hormones. good luck!

Your genes may have it where you are destined to be short. I am 29 and have been 4'11 since the fourth grade,no matter what you may try I doubt it will have Any effect.There are some meds that a Dr can try ,growth hormones but they can have not so good side effects & you would have to convience the dr & your parents to go this route. Honestly you may very well get a growth spurt It could come now or later in life but just remember you are not based on how tall you are or are not be yourself & enjoy life,none of these old wives tales are going to make any difference-they do not work.Although it is a good idea to live a healthy lifestyle it will not make you taller just healthier.

aww honey dont worry about it! i am 16 years old and im 4'11, and the doctor said i'm done growing. maybe you're not done growing yet? but if you are, it's not all that bad being short.
think of it this way: you can fit into mostly any clothes you want, height with boys isnt an issue for you because almost all guys want to be taller than the girl, when youre older you'll always look cute.
dont worry about a thing, you're gorgeous the way you are!

Your only 14 You have pleanty of time to grow some more! Usually we stop growing when we are about 18 years old. When u hit pubertiy (if u already havn't) u'll grow more then 2. Plus U don't wanna b 2 tall because tall people don't live that long. Think about it... have u ever seen a 6 foot tall old man?

Drink lots of milk. My son grew 3 inches at the last minute like that. My daughter is 4' 10 though, and she's 27 years old. Good luck.

hey im 15 almost 16 and your height, just dont worry about it, yeah it does suck, but you cant do anything about it, thats just part of who you are, i suggest stop trying to make yourself taller and start developing a sense of who you are as a person, you gotta have a BIG personality to get people to notice who you are first and not how tall you are.... hope i could help

You are what you are. How tall are your parents?
I wasn't finished growing height-wise until 19 or 20.

Maybe talk to your pediatrician. They might prescribe some kind of growth hormone. I don't know much about this, but I have heard of it.

You need to get a bottle of stretch fluid and that should do it.
