Answer 1

You probably will grow a bit more, but height is genetic and your family members are not tall.

Answer 2

hi, i had the same problem, i'm 15 years old 138 pounds and had the same body structure as you, i even did the milk and excercise things, But i played football and stuff everyday, when i mean excercise i mean work out. I found that after i stopped excercising, i started to shoot up, i was always the shortest everywhere but now i'm 5.7 as tall as my dad, and 2 inches shorter than my sister, so all i can suggest is keep up the healthy attitude, and stop working out but keep doing stamina work so you dont get fat :O Oh , and it actually helps to have a little body fat, not to be actually fat, but to have some stores for your body to work on. i suggest googling "height predictor"

Answer 3

Answer 4

You may just be a late bloomer like I was.  When I graduated from high school, I was 5'4" and weighed 95 lbs.  I am now 5'11".  You do have some hope.  

Answer 5

In most of the cases the height factor is a genetic factor. You can't get your height to 6 feet when your father is only 5' 2 or 3.

But if it is not the case, then you should consult a physician.

Answer 6

WHOA YOU ARE SHORT!!! normally the more you eat (the greater you wiegh) the taller you are. You would have to eat a lot BEFORE your growth spurt(beacause the food will help you grow faster)...if you...nvm
