There's not much you can do. I'm the same way. And trust me.. I'm in 8th grade and some of the guys are up there... I mean 6 foot 1. And the girls, up to around 6 foot. And here I am, towering at 5 foot. Don't worry about it! Everyone's different, and like I said, there's not much to do. Don't do anything that can hurt your body, that's not natural. Eat healthy. Don't eat too little food, and don't eat too much, and eat all of the right things your body needs. Mainly, go along with it. You don't want to hurt yourself, and you have no control over it.

You want an instant answer ? Try high heels (bad for your feet in the long run)
You want some healthy long-term answer ? You're 14 so you're still growing up and at this time your body is taking shape so you can work on making your legs and torso taller... Try some sports that involve a lot of jumping, like volleyball, basketball or gymnastics
Genes are important but only when you're "born", after that it's your "actions" that define what your body looks like

Hey, At 14 I was still 4 foot 11 inches. Actually I was this height till Junior in High School. Take pride in Your figure. It does pay off in the end. You will grow. Much slower than you think. But it sure is better than towering over everyone else. Plus most people I have met wish they were a little bit shorter.

Wear high-heels. Even school shoes with a small heel helps! Don't worry I'm 14 too, and I'm short. About five foot one. Be proud of who you are girl!

It's called genetics!! I got my period first as well. That doesn't mean anything. You will probably still grow until you are about 18 but you can't make yourself grow taller. I'm 32 years old and 5'1".

unfortunately, there is nothing that you can do to grow taller. it is the genetic cards that you were dealt.
dont worry about it. your friends do not care how tall you are. it is more of an issue to you than it is to them. they love you regardless of height.
p s , marry someone tall.

Well if it comes from genetics then there is really nothing that you can do, exept wear heels.
