It is certainly much easier in Western culture, to be a short woman than it is to be a short man. Your bones shouldn't have completely closed by now. Growing doesn't end until the early twenties. There are stretching exercises you could do. (They've certainly helped me a lot). Cutting out foods that produce phytic acid. Phytates prevent proper nutrient absorption. (This has also helped me a lot).

I think I started when I was 18. I'm 19 now.
You need to get enough sleep. A teenager needs about 12 hours.
When a person sleeps, their growth hormones become activated causing you to grow. However, when you wake up, the gravity causes the gaps to close. In the morning, I get up and stretch. Stretching allows you to keep the inches you gained during sleep. You are also supposed to exercise because it keeps the muscles from being rigid. I don't exercise often. My muscles have always been rather loose. You need to eat a healthy diet. I eat organic foods, but you can probably do it without eating organics. Try not to eat foods that are high in Phytic acid.
