you'll keep growing until you're about 20, dont worry. look at your parents, are they tall? you'll be of a similar height to them.

This website has a list of all methods of getting taller including surgery. It's not long on details but it should give you an idea of what can be done; it's a plug for an enhancer so I would take that for what it's worth which is probably not much! http://www.betaller.com/growing-taller.h...
I am 54 years old and have been stuck at 4'11" (well, plus a half now and again) and it doesn't bother me. I marvel at really tall people and at really short people (like my mother who is about 4'9" at best) and her mother was shorter and her grandmother was about 4'6" so I come from a long line of short people! Grow your mind and take advantage of your height! At least if you wear an adult shoe you can get tall ones; I don't even do that! You are not finished growing yet but are not likely to put on a lot of height; make sure you get enough calcium and vitamin D as those are crucial to bone development.
Sincerely short and proud of it!

I was 5"6 when I was 16, I am now 5"8. Give it time and you'll more than likely still grow. Enjoy it. Don't be in a hurry to grow up, you'll be thinking of your teenage years and regretting what you missed, or tried to miss. Don't try to be like your friends. And if you don't get taller, never forget, GREAT THINGS COME IN SMALL PACKAGES!!!

Only time will make you grow bigger unless you go to a gym and start toning up your muscles. I was tall and "wirey" at 15. Your still growing and will probably continue till you hit 30 or so.

There is nothing (healthy) you can do to grow taller. most girls grow until they are in their 20s, so you still have time, but you can't pick a certain height. it is all based on genetics. (Since you are close to the same height as your parents, you probably won't get much taller)

You have not stopped growing at fifteen so don't worry about it. And as far as things not being fair well, who ever said life is fair????

you just asked this. let me say it again. ADULTS ARE FULLY GROWN. YOU ARENT AN ADULT YET. YOU STILL HAVE A COUPLE OF YEARS TO STOP GROWING.
