This isn't exactly my field of expertice since I'm naturally tall but ironically I recently read an article somewhere on fashion tips that help with that exact thing. One thing you can do is wear pants or jeans that go all the way down to your shoes. They should cover your ankles. This makes your legs seem longer (since ppl can't see where your ankles are and where your feet begin). Also if you wear like sandals with small heels it would help. Make sure the heels aren't too big cause they might be against dress code and/or it might be oobvious what you are trying to do. if they are only an inch or maybe even two then nobody will notice. Also, if you walk with a straight poosture like your shoulders back and all it helps a bit. Something about distributing your weight that automatically makes you look a little taller.
well good luck!! [ vilelove's advice column | Ask vilelove A Question ]

Wear high heels or shoes with a little added heigth on the bottom and if you have to wear certain nice shoes for school wallabees are good. But the other thing... my friend is like 4'10 or something she is 14 and she found out she had a growth disorder and she hadn't grown when she was 11 12 and some of 13 but then she got these shots that made her grow but don't get excited just yet, she only has grown an inch and she got them like 6 months ago so basically what these do is make up for the heighth you miss if you have this disorder. But my friend is naturally just a short type of person and usually the people with this disorder thing are so don't get your hopes up.But definatly ask your doctor about it next time you go.

I'm also 4'11! I'm 17 years old and I'm a senior! I have always been picked on about my height! After awhile it does get annoying but over the past two years I've laughed with them and joked with them and it helps a whole lot. I don't know if you have tried to do that but you should! Also to help you get taller, where heels! I really don't know how you can get taller! But I do feel your pain about being picked on, just laugh and joke with them and it will be alright! My junior english teacher calls me MIDGET! Just laugh with it and it will all help! I hope I helped
Always
