I am 14 years old.
I am only 4'9. Both parents are 5'2. I didn't drink much milk when I was little. Now I drink 2 glasses everyday with a calcium vitamin. I am still not growing. Are there any products that can help me? Is there anything I can do?!

No. You won't be done growing until you are about 21-22. So relax. You don't need a lot of milk. And there is nothing you can do to make yourself grow any faster or taller. Your height is determined by your genes. So if your parents are only 5'2", there is a good chance that you won't be much taller than that. But if you have a tall grandparent on your mother's side, you might luck out and take after them.
There are no supplements, vitamins, herbs, minerals, stretches, exercises, sports...nothing will make you grow. It has to happen naturally.

You could try jumping a lot or playing a lot of basketball. Anyways, 14 is still young. You definately have lots of room to grow until your 18-20. I wouldn't worry about. Just keep drinking milk, don't lift too many weights, stretch, and jump a lot.
I've grown a lot taller since I was 14. Oh yeah, don't do drugs or drink alcohol either. They can stunt your growth. Also drinking soda will deplete your calcium, so don't drink a lot of that either.

you're already doing this, but keep up your calcium, that will help. having good nutrition will also be beneficial. also, do stretches to lengthen your muscles.
don't smoke cigarettes and don't drink coffee--avoid caffiene in general. both these will stunt your growth.
height is mainly based on genetics so if both your parents are short you might end up being on the short side too. but you can always wear high heels.
did you know that you're one inch taller in the morning because your vertebrae compress while walking around/standing all day? so measure yourself in the morning and you'll be an inch taller. :)

Height is pretty much determined by your genes. It wouldn't be realistic for you to expect to be much taller than your parents.

there have been people who've had a might desire to elongate their legs (certainly because of fact of unequal length legs because of break). that's a drastic thank you to function inches on your top, yet you will get your femurs prolonged via the years.
