Okay, the truth is you're a girl so you're mostly done growing by now. Height isn't something you can control unless you are given hGH (human growth hormone) from young ages. Height is mostly genetic, so if your family is short, then you most likely will be also. Just make sure that you don't let environmental things stunt your growth like drinking coffee or cigarettes. Other than that, put on some heels and fake it girl.

I can not reac if you are 10 or 19 years old. If you are 19; you need to see a physician who will refer you to an endocrinologist specializing in such problms as yours. It is important that you do this NOW rather than wait because treatment is most effective when you are younger.

There is also a very painful sugical proceedure that can or might help but it should avoided and used as a last resort.

Cosmetically you can buy shoes that will make you appear taller than you really are.

well in some instances you can have your legs broken and stretch to make you taller but that's extremely painful and as far as i know it's done in china, not in the us. They can also give you some kind of shot, maybe hormone(can't remember) but that's for people under 19. Best thing to do is ask someone in the medical field if there's anything you can do at this point.

it is less likely that you will grow any taller
it more or less depends on your genetics having a good diet and regular exercise helps
there is surgery available to lengthen your bones after you have achieved your adult height but its risky and costly
