Yes, you are full grown now so growth hormones will NOT work on you. But 5'6" is not short for a girl and many men in this country aren't much taller!!! I believe average ht for men in USA is 5'7 1/2", check with WIKIPEDIA!
My hubby is 5'8 1/2", but most people thing he is bigger / taller as he works out and muscles make both sexes look 'BIGGER/TALLER because of muscular build. You dont have to overdue it, you dont want to go "freakish" as in those wt mags, just build up some muscle. You'll look and feel BIGGER/TALLER , I'm sure1 Good luck, best wishes. Please vote for my answer if I helped you! THANKS !!! Barbs
P.S. -- WHATEVER YOU DO, DO NOT USE STEROIDS or ANY FOREIGN MATTER in your body, YOUR TEMPLE !!! Men who have are dying of HEART DISEASE at 45 yoa !!!!!!

Posture is one big thing you can improve, by simply pulling your shoulders back and standing up straight that can make you taller.
Also, a certain yoga move (called cobra) is made to work the areas of your back to elongate you, this can increase your height up to a full inch. To do this move, lie on your stomach with your hands either on the floor or (once you become more experiences) clasped behind your back and raise your top half of your body off of the floor, leaving your hips on the ground. Don't get discouraged, it'll take about 8 weeks to see results.
Hope this helped! Good luck :)

lol that's normal height im only 5ft n love men towering over me. But does it really matter how tall you are as long as the gal you date likes you for who you are then she wont be looking at men thinking god i wish my gal was as tall as that guy/ see my point. Just incress your exercise and eat healthly. You also can get diet tablets from superdrug that are herbal and do work with a cal controlled diet. good luck.

Diet and exercise. You stopped growing years ago...there is no magic way to make your growth plates in your bones become active again. 5'6" is above average for a female.

Watch John Wayne and Jimmy Stewart movies(the westerns) , these movies will teach you how to be taller.

Height is determined by heredity. You are full grown now, so that is it.
