There is a chance that you will grow a little taller since you are still in your early years. This might however be too little to warrant any attention. The issue of Basketball making you taller is flat out no no. My advice is to begin accepting yourself the way you are. There are things that you cannot change in yourself and it will be much more fun if you can learn to live with yourself, or otherwise alot of stress. Think of what fun you can have in this short life without having to think of how to hurt yourself trying unrealistic things on your body.

Let me tell you right now that you shouldn't get hung up on that number. It'll only bring you depression. I assure you that if I knew away I'd not only do it I'd share it with the world. It's all about genetics. I'm 18 and only 4'7 (the funny thing is that I'm engaged to a guy that is 6'1). I've tried the exercises that say they'll make you look taller and leaner and nothing. So my best advice is just learn to be comfortable with who you are. And be glad you're not under 5 ft. Good Luck.

Hate to tell you this- but you're pretty "average" for your Age & Gender, and it's NOT likely you're going to get much taller. Now this doesn't mean you CAN'T play Basketball... -It JUST means you're going to have to work harder at it- to keep up with the taller girls... So what you DO, is up to YOU. :)

5'3 for a girl is not short, its a desirable height.
You still have two more years, so keep on stretching ;) and take calcium and vitamin D
I'm also trying to grow taller (20 male) by stretching every morning

There is no way to make yourself taller. You are 5'3" so that is 3" taller than I ever was.

Go to England and find a castle. Go to the dungeon and get someone to use the stretchy thing on you.
