The short answer is that you can't.
Most height gain after early childhood is due to the elongation of the leg bones but by about age 18-20 the growing parts of these bones have fused, preventing further elongation.
The only solution after that age is a very long (6 months) and painful procedure which involves breaking the leg bones and then stretching the two halves apart so that new bone forms in the gap. This is done many times over and will gain you about 3-4 inches but during that whole time you will have to be lying on your back with your legs locked in a metal frame to hold the broken bones apart.

Hey!
I am 16 and even shorter than you so I know how you feel. I'm afraid most girls are done growing by our age, but you might just get an inch or so more. The most important thing to do is to eat healthy food and get enough sleep.
If you're feeling weird cos all your friends are tall I know how you feel- my friends just don't understand what it's like to be so short. Maybe we could chat and help each other out? If you want to mail me through my profile that's cool.

at 25, it is highyly unlikely that u'll grow taller as ur bones have already fused
and don't try some chemical/hormonal/mechanical methods: they can cause severe problems
try wearing black clothes: they give a feeling of height. and wear 1 single colour (red shirt, red coat, red trousers...) to make ur body loom taller
that's about the best u can get

you can't. Your skeletal system has stopped their period of growth. maybe if you asked when you were 23, maybe you still had the chance.
