Hey, I'm also 14 and goin to be a freshman but im only 5 foot, don't stress about it, im sure there will be people shorter than you! I really don't think there is anything you can do to make you grow faster sry!

well, u might be able to get growth hormone shots if you haven't gone through puberty yet. if you have, it depends when. if you went thruogh you very young like me (im 15, i got it when i was 9), there might be some trouble. really there's nothing you can do other than that. you could talk to the doctor about the growth hormones, but i wouldn't recomend them. i don't think anybody should mess with growth hormones. but don't worry. i'm a sophmore and i'm not evem 5 feet tall. i'm like 4"10 1/2. dont worry about it. good things come in small packages
hope i helped

See I never had your problem, but I had a friend who did. She swore the drinking milk thing worked.It didn't by the way!
Well what she did was talked to her mom about getting shots that make you taller! Her mother thought about it and decided if that would make her daughther happier she could do it. Went to the doctor and it actually worked she went from about 4'11 to maybe 5'1-5'2. Not that tall, but taller then some

Unlike what you might hear, most girls stop growing after they have their period. You may grow a little more after that. I was 4'11 when I started my period and six years later I'm 5'1. Being short isn't that bad. I went into Freshman year 5'1 and now I'm a junior and still 5'1.

ahaha, me too!
My mom makes me drink milk!

nope. theres no food that will make you grow you'll eventually get a growth spurt. believe me, some tall people wish they wre shorter.

Don't worry, I'm fourteen, too, and I'm only 5'1 : / .. but the good part about this is that we're not done growing. Girls stop growing at around age 21, so we have a ways to go. I'm hopeful because my brother is about 6'5, so I know I'll probably be tall. Be patient, we're not even that short, I know people our age that are only like 4' tall, so we're lucky. Good luck :)

No, there aren't.
You don't stop growing until your like 20.
Be happy you are short, I wish I was.
Hope I helped.

because basically ALL of your boyfriends will be tallerthen you :)
except the shortness.
somone once told me real men like petite woman :) so dont even worry about it.
im only 5 feet.. hehe.
hope this helps

Ahh I'm sorry! There aren't any foods or exercises that can make you taller. It just depends on your genes and if your parents or tall. Eventually you'll catch up! But heyyy--I'm going to be a Junior and I'm only 5'and half an inch. =[

I know this doesnt help but my cousin is 4'10 and is going to be a junior. Be happy your short. Its a good thing. Most guys find it cute. :]

u cant make urself grow im sorry! im short to ad well being short just is a gene a person get thats passed down from ur mother or father so i dont really kno what to tell except to wear shoes that make you taller thats what i do lol hope i helped mary!

first off. your lucky your short! im 5'6 and gonna be a freshman (im a girl). anyways. try eating everything. eat all foods. wether u like them or not. i eat everything. i enjoy food. onions,asparagus,spinach. you know the foods everyone hates.
]
Hm, Im going to be a sophomore and Im 5'0 so Im short, too. Good things come in small packages! ha, but anyways theres not really anything you can do to "get taller." Theres no medecine or special food. You are only 14 so youre still growing! If you havent had your period, theres also a better chance you will grow more because after your period, you dont grow as much. But, just try to embrace your height. Theres not much you can do about it. Oh, and buy heels. Thats what helps me. :]

you're not that short! (=
i'm the same age as you and i'm 5'2".
but i suggest you don't get those shots that make you grow faster.
(you can talk to your doctor about them if you want)
some people just grow earlier then others.
you will grow around the same height as everyone else it may just take a little more time.
plus, many people think short s are cut.e (;
and if they don't like you cause you're short, then they're not good enough for you anyway.

I'm 5'3 & older than you.... there are TONS of people shorter than me. no one cares. they'll call you shorty and think it's so cute but other than that, 5'1 isn't like you're a 3'0 midget. you can't make yourself taller. no food or excersize will do that. just get comfortable with it. you can wear shoes that make you taller if it really bugs you that much. <3

You're not really THAT short. And you still may grow. I am 18 and only 4'10". Being short has it's advantages too. Don't worry about what other people will think of you because of your height. If they judge you solely on that, you don't even want/need a friend like that. Buti fo yu seriously think you need to grow, there are a series of shots you can get. You have to do it often and it is very expensive. It is generally not covered on your medical insurance. You will have to ask your doctor about the shots. I believe they're called growth stimulants maybe? Either way, you're you for a reason. Embrace it. :)
