If your growth plates are still open, you can ask for an injection of growth hormone. You more than likely will not get to 6ft this late in the game. But you probably will get about 2 inches on top of your regular growth. Hey it's better than nothing, isn't it?

Do you drink milk or eat dairy foods at least twice a day ? Those girls who are taller than you probably do. It's not just genetics.
You need to start drinking milk every day and take the reccomended advice of 4-6 servings/day or whatever the government reccomends. Any population gets taller and better stronger bones if it consumes milk products. drink milk every day for at least 2 months and see if you grew,if you did even a little then continue withthe program and get at least 7 hours of sleep. Don't stay up all night watching shows. You only grow when you sleep. I hope you know. Also, people who get vaccinated more often are sick lessoften and they grow bigger. So, keep that in mind.
Since,you're in the short league at least you can get the cute short & small girls. Since, the tall girls usually take the tall men.

Well, I am very short, my boyfriend is only 2 inches taller than me (me= 5'3", him =5'5"). He is probably a bit taller than that now, and i LOVE that he is short. There are a lot of hot short girls too, so i wouldn't worry about that. All of his friends are at least 6', but he really stands out and people remember him! He even plays RUGBY, and kicks *** at it. Don't worry about being short, i love short guys, and so do a lot of other girls!!

You already asked this. No there is no way you can make yourself grow. So you have already been to a doctor. I think an inch is correct. You might get that by the time you are 21. Get used to your height and accept it. There is nothing you can do.

Dreams can and should change. Dreams are based on your ideals and life changes them. You have to be flexible enough to change with changed circumstances. This is a part of life and is not just about your height.
Further, your height is determined by your genetic coding, and that can't be changed.
Whatever else, you need to learn to accept your body and to love yourself as you are. If you can't learn this, you will be miserable for the rest of your life, and being miserable over something so insignificant as your height isn't worth it.

confidence is soooo sexy. So if there's nothing you can do about your height, learn to value yourself for what you have to offer to other people besides your height. I'm sure there's more to you... I'm 5'1 and yeah i'm a girl, but i've learned to being shorter than anyone else. Why not go after a short girl/? personally my boyfriend is 6'4 and i wish he were shorter. I think short guys are kinda cute.

My suggestion is that you get a shot of growth hormone from a specialist before you reach 21, other wise it will be too late and the growth hormone jab will be useless after that.

You can do Pilates and gain a couple of inches.....Pilates stretches your torso lengthening your middle section.....The exercises in Pilates stretch your muscles lengthwise.Many many hollywood stars do this to give them that sleek and slender middle section and to gain height......I beleive it can also stretch your neck muscles giving you a longer and more statuesque look.....
