If you're dieting, stop it immediately. Lot of young dieters become malnutritioned. Eat proper meals that include protein, calcium. Take vitamin supplements if you have poor eating habits.
But really, there is nothing wrong with being under 5'. I've seen a lot of attractive girls your height.

Girls usually have their growth spurt before 15 so you may grow about an inch more. There's always the off chance that you could grow more but it's not likely. I was 4'11'' in eighth grade and by the end of high school I was still only 4'11 1/2''.

Well, if you were 12 yrs old you could have had a drastic surgery done. It is quite painful, where they break your legs and place a lever, where you or your parent can increase by twisting a contaption. It is very painful and you are only guarenteed 3 inches. I wouldn't worry too much, it is kind of cute when a young girl is little. If you don't want to spread this, marry a very tall man between 6'2 and 6'9 then your kids will be tall.
Good luck!!!

I'm short too, two years younger than u and I'm 4'6....My doctor suggested seeing an encronologist, which is a doctor that specializes in growth. They can give you growth hormones that can stunt your growth. They also take bone scans to see where your skeletal devleopment is at. I hate being the short girl too, but eventually we'll all even out

Height is usually genetic. Look around your family. If there are others who are small then the bad news is that that's probably the height you are meant to be. Sometimes if people have been on steroids (for asthma, etc) then height can be affected. Sometime there can be a hormonal issue. Might be worth a trip to the Dr to have your levels tested.
