Nothing wrong with being that height...........at least you won't have big feet and hands.

You will be ok. I was under 5 foot tall til my junior year of hs and I grew to 5 foot 3 inches in one year.
Give it time, you just haven't hit a growth spurt yet.
Girls grow til they are about 22 or so and guys grow until they are about 19 or 20.
:) In the mean time love yourself and be happy with yourself because there is nothing you can do to change your height.

If you are a girl or female, you've probably stopped growing by then. There are some but rare occurences of growth spurts after 15 in girls from what I know. I don't think sports'll help you grow taller. It's all in your genes. [:

It's all in your genetics sweetie.Just take a look around your family if the women that surround you are short..then you more than likely will remain short.I'm 5'2 when I was younger I hated it ,but know I love my height!There is clothing you can wear that can along the appearance of your torso and legs.I'm sure their are tall women out there that would love to be shorter.Be happy with what you have.

I'm sorry to disappoint you but there is nothing you can actually do about.
I suggest you just stop worrying about it, short girls can be cute, some guys like them more than tall ones. The most important thing is to like yourself the way you are.
And you can wear high heels.

Dont worry, I am around that height too. There isnt too much you can do except wait, if you do still grow. The best you can do is just learn to accept that your height is perfect for you.

Your height is usually determined by 2 major factors: genetic.........look at your relatives.....if they're short you'll probably be short....
diet: diet can be a mitigating factor, usually in you early years....getting enough calcium, protene....etc.....
If you've stopped growing ......there are surgical procedures that can be used....they are extremely painful and very costly.

Your only 15, depending on your genes, you may or may not grow.

Being stretched on a medieval rack is the only answer.
