My height is 4 feet 11 inches.
Actually my height is bothering me. I am 15 years now. But I am really short. I have been growing really slowly from past 2 years. I am approx. 4 feet 11 inches now. My mom's height is 5 feet 2 inches and my dad's height is 5 feet 8 inches. Can you tell me the factors that have stunted my growth and ways to grow tall? Can you also suggest me any activities and types of exercises and how frequently I should be doing them?

Unfortunately in females there is no way to increase height menarche is set in. If you have not started having menses yet, you can consult an endocrinologist
