You can't.  I'm 31 and kinda short too. I wear pumps and heels all the time.  Don't worry about being short.  The best things come in small packages!  \n\nEva Longoria is 5'1" or 5'2" and she's not having any problems....

I'm also fifteen and short. I'm 4'11" and was once your size awhile ago. All I did was take vitamins and ate a lil' healthier and I grew. I wish you all the luck in growing and I don't mean that in a saracastic way. I know what it feels like to be short. I'm still praying for that last inch to be five foot. I'm given hell about being short alll the time. So I feel your pain. Good luck and the worst it could be is you've stopped growing.

You physically cannot!\nYou stopped growing long ago!\nGet some shoes with lifts in.

You can't. After puberty, your growth stops. Learn to accept your height. It's a very small liability to carry around on.

The most you can do physically is to improve your posture and stand up straight.  A physical therapist or a modelling school can help.\n\nYou can fake a height increase by wearing high heel shoes, but only try this if you feel 100% comfortable in them, wobbling around ruins the look.\n\nIf you wear high heel shoes always use a neutral colour (like taupe), they make your legs look much longer than they are.\n\nFinally, you need to refocus your thoughts.  Thinking 'short' implies something is lacking, whereas 'petite' describes lovely in a smaller package.       \n\nIf you can define yourself by who you are inside, rather than what you look like, you will be much happier in life.

To be sure you could go to a growth specialist, but my guess is that you will grow to be at least on the shorter end of average. Don't expect to be NBA tall, but also don't worry so much about your height, you are many years before your growth stops.

According to some doctor you have a chance to increase your height upto 25yrs of age. Sleep 8 hours a day(from 9pm-5am), eat well, exercise (basketball, jogging) try some supplements. do it regularly

Sorry but I think we stop growing around age 17 or 18, taller that is. Being small isnt so bad. Try accepting you height cause you are gonna have it for a long time.

I would say short. At 15 I was my tallest but perhaps you'll grow some more.

The best way to grow taller is to eat nutritious food and excercise. Because of your age, you may be nearing your last spurt of growth. It is important that during this last spurt of growth, you excercise and eat healthily because this might be your last chance to grow taller. You may be able to grow up to an inch.

You can't gain height like that.\nIt's genetics and enviroment together.\nIf you're smoking, drugs etc stop it. Eat a lot of foods full with calcium and hope for the best.\nIf your mom and dad are short or at your height.. Most chances you'll stay at the same height.\nIf you're in the end of your puberty you wont grow much. You can go and take a Xray of your bones, they can tell you what "age" are your bones, this way you can see if your bones have rached their full potential or not.\nTake care.

Males can continue growing up till about the age of 21, and they also tend to do so in short, rapid bursts, so there's a fair chance you will be taller as you get older, even if you don't end up becoming a tall person.\n\nBesides, height isn't everything.
