I believe you should be happy and contended with what you have. Stop worrying about your height as it is reasonable height if we look at statistics in India. Avoid hormones for gaining height, as they may have adverse effects in long term.

Dear friend your height at this age is not a big issue...... So don't worry...... And if your parents are tall you will be tall as well..... If they are of average height than chances are there for you to be of average height so please do not worry.....

Hello,height depends on average height of your parents... if your parents are short then nothing can be done...take nutritious food ,protein rich food like chicken ,fish , pulses ,egg ,milk ,butter. Do Stretching exercises in early morning like skipping, cycling, swimming helps you a lot...Exercise at least five times per week. By using exercises that help with gaining height, you will naturally increase the level of growth hormones in your body. Certain weight training exercises, high intensity sprints and bar hanging can help you achieve this. you must strengthen your abdominal and back muscles first to get the most out of your exercises.
