hold on to a chinup bar with your legs off the ground, and have a bunch of your friends hang on to your legs and try to pull you down. it will straighten out your back and encourage growth.

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 sorry, but I don't think there is a way for you to get taller over night or anything like that, but, however, everyone grows at their own pace, so you may be have a growth spurt and become taller than some people you know now.
I hope I helped!

Genetics, height is programmed into you. You could do some yoga stretchs that help your posture which would make you look a little taller, but that's about it. Just enjoy who you are, why do you want to be taller anyway?
