First off, my girlfriend is 5 foot even (no joke) and lots of guys, myself included, think having a petite girlfriend is fun. You might want to try approaching the kind of guys who go for asian chicks.
Think about it though: guys have more ways to lift them up, spin them around, and tightness (I can't go in detail on that one). :-D
But, seriously, you do most of your growth before around age 18-20...my father gained about 6 inches between ages 15-20 (kinda odd late growth spurt), but chances are you'll only gain another 3-4 inches.
The only way you can really help getting taller is diet: try focussing on eating high nutrient, low calorie foods like veggies & fruits (if veggies sound boring alone try cooking them in olive oil and adding spices/seasoning), nuts, beans, and some white grilled meats (fish, chicken, turkey)...
Stay away from potatoes, breads/cereals (even including whole grain wheat breads), and rice...they are all starchy and high-glycemic, preventing long-term energy storage...so, in english, they basically stunt the energy processes that help your body produce bone/muscle and grow.
Whatever happens, have fun & don't get too dramatic about it.
----------------------
BTW, I had to comment...GROWTH HORMONES (unless prescribed in quite small amounts by a local doctor) ARE DANGEROUS
Yes, THEY OFTEN WILL HELP BUT, moreover, they often cause incorrect bone growth (and extreme pain from deformities), huge overgrowth of organs like hands and feet, sometimes deadly stress on the heart (sometimes deadly), and more. You can have you doctor verify this if the fact I don't have a medical degree bothers you.

Genetically short people can take Growth Hormones to get taller. I know they trialled it in South Australia and the pharmaceutical company I worked for last year in Sydney were selling it to hosptials. You may grow a bit taller than 5 foot in the next couple of years but if you are really worried, go to your doctor and discuss it. He may be able to recommend Growth Hormones to you.

Well, women and men are so different..Men tend to grow until they are about 21 years of age then that's it (as far as height goes). I am 5' 5" and have been this height since your age! Why grieve over such things young one? It matters not the measure of our stature..But the weight one can carry with it!! Peace to you,Be happy:-)

You're pretty much done. You might grow another half inch...not much you can do.
Edit Thee Hours Later: Besides, tall guys like me like short girls like you. Even if I have to bend down 14 or 15 inches to kiss you. ;)
