Growth hormones will only help you if your bone plates have not fused together yet. Normally, by age 18 this will already have happened and once it has you cannot grow any taller. Read up on how growth and growth hormones work if you want more info http://msnbc.msn.com/id/3076703 http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Growth_hormone
But 5'4" is a totally socially acceptable height, I would talk to your doctor about it and see what they have to say, there could be some things to do if your bones are not fused yet, and they may be willing to help you. I will warn you though, growth hormones are very expensive.

The surgeon who just did my heart transplant isn't any taller than you.
Obviously, he has a very successful career. He has a wife and two lovely kids. Who gets more out of life than that... ?
Being taller will not make you a better person. It will not make you more successful, sexier, more desirable or anything else your thinking of at this time...
Learning to like ourselves, the way we are, is the hardest battle most of us ever face in life... Why do you think the gyms and spa's are full, Plastic surgeons never get a day off and the couch down at the local shrinks office never gets cold ?
If you like you, other people will. If you don't...What do you expect from others ?

Growth hormones affect the body during puberty, and are naturally created by your body. There is nothing you can do to make yourself taller at this point. But look on the bright side: you can fit into smaller places than men who are taller than you!
Learn to love yourself, hun, for who and what you are. My hubby is 26 and he's only 5'4", and I wouldn't have it any other way.

It's a little late for you to be taking growth hormones. The best thing for you to do would be to learn to love your height. I'm 19 and 5'1" and sometimes I hate my height but it can have it's advantages too.

by 18 your bones have stopped allowing for growth. you should have seen a pediatric endocrinologist prior to puberty. sorry.

5'4" is not short. average hieght is like 5'7". besides the coolest guys i know are like 5'2". One of the reasons they are cool is becuase they dont care how tall they are.
