Hi, I'm Marilia and I'm not very tall *sigh*
I am 15 years old and I'm
only
5'4.5
And I was wondering,
If this is good,
but how can I
get taller?
Any way?

You might grow taller by taking Human Growth Hormone, but I doubt your doctor would be willing to prescribe it, or that your parents would be willing to pay for it, especially since results are not guaranteed.
Although you have likely already finished your growth spurt, you may still grow 1/2 inch or so before you are 18. Any height between 5'4" and 5'7" is average for women. You can always wear heels to appear taller.

Height is dependant upon when the growth plates in your legs stop allowing you to grow. Females mature much faster than males and for females, these growth plates stop growing at around 14-16. Some still grow beyond this age, but it all depends on your body's natural course. Nothing you can do.

Trust me...sometimes i wish i could trade places with you because i am 5'9 and i am only 13. I am constantly getting comments like 'oh your tall' or 'hows the weather up there' and it is so so so so so so annoying. It's ok because everyone is different and we all have to deal with it's good and bad sides. And no there is no way you can get taller unless you wear high shoes. For tennis shoes i would recommend nike shoxs because they have the shoxs that elevate you off the ground.

You are perfectly normal, the average woman in North America is 5'4". Most 15 year old females have reached their adult height.
Those 6' tall supermodels are freaks of nature.

You have to wait a few more years. Most girls grow to 18 and boys to 21. Your still developing. How tall were you last year and the year before.

well if you still have potential to grow then i suggest
CALCIUM
VITAMIN D
- buy natural yogurts they have a great supply of calcium that is the best when having to be absorbed into the body
