Nope sorry. You are not a dwarf you are petite. Don't worry though, you will grow more. I have been 5'2 since 16 and the only problem I have is watching my weight as I get older.
No one will discredit you because you are short. I know a highly respected doctor who is 5'2 male and a wonderful person. Lots of friends and beautiful wife.
I'm not so bad looking myself and I have a professional career and many friends and loving husband. My 8 year old is almost as tall as me,but who cares.
You are as beautiful or handsome as you feel. Just let nature do its job and eat healthy and you will be fine. :)

No specific exercises. Just make sure you're eating a well balanced diet and getting enough nutrition (without overeating!) and get some exercise. That's the best way to help your body develop.

Sorry to tell you this height is genetically predetermined. There isn't a thing you can do about it. The only way to add height is to go trough an incredibly painful procedure where your legs are broken and the bones are elongated over time.
You are only 15, you still have a few more growing years ahead of you, don't worry about it. Growth spurts happen at different time.

Yes, you should wait. You are only 15 and you have 5-6 more years to grow.
Besides there is NOTHING you can do to make yourself taller. Nothing. There are no drugs, supplements, vitamins, devices, exercises that will make you taller. I research drugs and devices for a living, so trust me...there is nothing out there. Just be patient. Your growth spurt will come.

There is no exercise. Growth spurts happen at different times. Just try to be the best 5ft 2 you can be and if you are supposed to grow it will eventually happen.

Don't worry about being small.. its better than overly tall because its more difficult to wear heels and find a guy!... But you could try yoga. My mum does it and swear she's grown! It might take a while but it will stretch you muscles so you can beome fit and flexible at the same time...and you feel so good afterwards!

There is not anything you can do to make yourself taller. But remember you are only 15, you will get taller. Or you will end up like me at 5' 6" forever, either way things are the way they are.

well, can't knock ya for putting in the wrong section, cause... well..
hey, anyway - there were certain torture devices in older times, that stretched the body. of course, the stretched body couldn't function well.
other than that, who cares if you're short. plenty of good things about being short. you won't get stopped from trick-or- treating on halloween. you can reach things on lower shelves easier than someone who is, say, 5'11". (ok, that part mightn't be true..)
kid, 5'2" isn't that short.
