there is no way to make yourself taller. your height is completely determined by genetics

its genetic...I wanted to be 5'9" and am female. My genetics are a father who is 5'5" and mother is 5'2". Thought it would be better. Better in other people's eyes. cooler.Not happening. I do sports, eat healthy but reality is short family. Do the best with what you have. We can not change our physical make-up. What is it that you feel you want to accomplish by being a different height? We have to understand our height is something that is not able to be changed. Whatever the height, enjoy.

first of all, tallness is a genetic trait that you get from your parents. If both or one of your parents are tall, chances are you also will inherit this trait and become tall yourself. It is dictated by your genes, you cannot get it by drinking any booster pill or vitamins. However, scientific researches shows that exercise among children is an additional factor that can add a few inches to a persons height.

You have ot let nature take its course. You can't force it. Unless you wanna go oversees adn have them break ur legs and then have them stretched out. Or, you can have surgery and have screws, painfully, turned everyday to make ur legs longer. It's up to you.

always sit up straight and do a lot of stretches. It may even help to hang from a pull up bar with weights around your ankles, (periodically).

Be happy with who you are. There are many males your age or older who are not as tall as you. Actually there are many in prof. sports who are your height and doing quite well for themselves
