I'm 15, and only 4"11. Will I grow any taller? Any way to become taller without the silly shoes, and height increasing scams? Anything that works?
My mom is 5, and my dad is 5'6. But most of my other relatives are around 5'3 and higher.
And any estimate on how many inches I'm still going to gain?
And if it helps, I'm filipino.

Lol. I love heels. I mean like those kimi shoes, and shoe height increasers.
My mom is the shortest in her family. Most females in my mom's family are 5"3 and some 5"7 there and the males are pretty average/tall 5"8+ and so. My 1st cousin is 6"4. My dad's side is pretty average 5"6-5"9, but most of my female 1st cousins from his side is like 5 to 5"2.

Hey, what's wrong with the silly shoes? I assume you mean High Heels. You'll like them later on. Guys Love them (on you). You have a little growing to do yet.
Hang in there.

You have a few more years to grow, but no nothing to make you any taller other than big heeled shoes. I have been 4' 11.5" since I was 14. I am 27 now. Needless to say I have lots of shoes with realy big heels.

You sound like you have genetics working against you, but with a balanced diet and a healthy lifestyle you may make the most of what's available. Don't smoke--it really does stunt your growth, and by eating properly, you give your body the nutrients it needs to grow. You may be at your max now, though--most girls stop growing somewhere in their mid-teens. You might check with other female members of your family to see if they were still growing at your age--that tends to be hereditary, too.

You still have a few years of possible growth yet. But after about age 20, the height you reached at that point is probably permanent.

I know a girl who was short too. When she was in 6th grade, she looked as if she were in the 2nd grade. By about the time she was 15, she took to regular swimming. I mean it. REGULAR. She is about 5'6" today. Try swimming. The girl I am talking about is a East Indian.

There are no miracle growths that I know of. Why do you want to be taller anyways? There's nothing wrong with being short.
