Sorry for the repost but I think I would get more feedback in this category. I know there are many people who are around 5'4 on here who claim to be "too short" but I'm a lot shorter than 5'4. I'm only 4'11 and 15 years old. I haven't grown for the past 2 years almost so I'm concerned I have stopped growing. I guess I'm being a little self concious but I mean I at least want to be a couple inches taller than I am. Even 5'4 would be magnificent. Does anyone know some ways to get taller besides a healthy diet and sleep? Because that is common knowledge, no offense. I've heard of the pills which are just scams, I've also heard of a variety of shots etc.(I'd like to know how the shots work if anyone knows I'd be grateful.) I'm taking a vitamin called Pantothenic Acid (B5) which I heard increases your hormones or something, anyone care to tell me if this affects height? Any way to increase my height that actually works would really be appreciated. Thanks. By the way I'm a female.

Females in my family usually grow to about 5'2-5'3 or taller. My aunt is 5'7 which is really tall for a woman in my family. The guys usually grow to about 5'6 or taller. The tallest guy is 5'11. So I should be at least 5'2 but I'm way under it. The thing not growing for 2 years at all concerns me a lot.

If you are still within the growing age then perhaps you can add a few inches by eating a balanced diet and leading an active life. A nutritious diet that includes fruits and vegetables, dairy, cereals, meat, and plenty of water will aid the natural process for enhancing height. A good and proper night’s sleep is also essential for the growth process. Taking part in active sports along with some stretching exercises can have a cumulative effect on human growth. There is not much we can do to grow taller after puberty. There are many products in the market today that claim to increase height of adults, but they are all scams without sufficient scientific evidence. Surgical options, though available, are EXTREMELY RISKY and of course expensive. This leaves us with basically two options.
1. Stretching Exercises: - These exercises will help you improve your posture. You’ll be surprised that how much of “Height” is hidden behind your slouched back. You can, at any age, add an inch or two of height by simply improving your posture. Follow the link below for information on specific height enhancing exercises:

2. Second, you can create a “Taller” effect by following some smart fashion techniques. You can easily add another inch or two of “illusionary height” by improving your dress coordination. The link below can provide some input on height increase through fashion effect:

Good luck

I'm 4'10 and i'm 16 next month.
My thyroid doctor told my mom something about growth hormones but it all depends on if your growth plates have already fused.
Since you said you haven't grown in 2 years it probably won't work but you could ask your doctor.

And besides I's rather be short than damage my health taking some medicine that possibly have side effects that'll probably mess my body up in the long run!
