5'1" isn't that terribly short, especially if you're petite. We all come in different shapes and sizes, and I hope you learn to love your body the way it is. There isn't anything you can do to physically make yourself taller. You can improve your posture, which might give you an extra inch or so, because you'll be standing up straight regularly. Also, girls don't stop growing as soon as their period begins. You can grow after the age of 16, or even after the age of 18. Between the time that I was 16 and the time that I turned 18, I grew 3 whole inches! I went from 5'2" to 5'5".

Let me tell you something, you need to love your self. I'm 5 feet talll and i'm a sexy bi**h! You better know the men love it! My aunt is beautiful and she is 5'1, when she goes in a room all the heads turn! Nia Long is a beautiful successful actress and she is only 5'2. Keshia Knight Pulliam is only 5 and 1/2 inches tall, beautiful, model, famous, the men love her. Tila Tequila is only 4'11"! and she has the most myspace views on myspace, last i heard on mtv. Judy garland was only 4'11", Reese Witherspoon 5'2", christina ricci is 5'1, lucy liu's 5'3", Rachel Leigh Cook 5'2", Hillary Duff is 5'2 (i think she's about done growing) ayumi hamasaki's the britany spears of japan is only 5'1! So you need to get with your height and love your self, cause let me tell you, unless you do some crazy yoga exercise, or have a growth spurt...that's it! hahaha CAN I GET A WITNESS! POWER TO THE SHORT AND BEAUTIFUL!================= I'm really glad you feel a bit better, i struggled with this too for a while, so i know where you are coming from :)

From what I've heard, most girls stop growing at around ages 16 to 18, but it could be different for different people. The period thing isn't true, though. Some girls start their periods really young, & they still get taller. 5'1" isn't a bad height. I'm almost 19 & I'm just 5'1". The calcium thing might help a little, but not much. You might be able to ask your doctor more about this, but I doubt there's much you can do.
