as a side note, i dont drink milk because of my asthma condition.is it my lack of milk intake?

Answers:
don't worry about it, really!! im your age and there are still some guys in my grade who arent very tall either. plus some people have growth spurts in their later teens, others even in their early 20's!

if youre still concerned, look at the others in your family, especially if you have older siblings. your genes is the biggest (if not only) indicator of how tall you will be. honestly i dont think milk helps that much... it could be a bunch of bs because i know short people who drink lots of milk and tall people who never drink milk. but, i do take a multi-vitamin everyday so maybe that could help you in case youre not getting enough nutrients?? maybe you can ask your doctor.

anyways, stop worrying about your height, its not so short that it should cause some anxiety. just try to have fun in high school =)
you've still got growing to do from what i know. i don't think males stop growing until they're 18 or 20. have you had a growth spirt yet?
You dont stop growing til between 18 and 24...most people its 18. But don't fret little guy. Your only 15...you've got along time to grow and im sure you'll hit at least 5['8 unless you got really bad genetics...in which case id seek hgh or something like that from a doctor.
LOL w i have asthma, and have no idea why that would stop you from drinking milk. lol just chill. you got PLENTY of time. lotsa people say you'll be done growin by 18, but i know a friend who was 23 and joined the army at that age. he was 5' 4" like you. he had some crazy growth spurts, and by 25, he was 6' 2"!!! so chill, you go plenty of time. you cant do anything to make yourself grow faster besides eating healthy, (that includes the calcium from the milk) and exercise
might be the lack of calcium in your body, bones get big and strong with calcium. take some calcium suppliments. BUT!, if your family is short, then you have no hope. sorry!
Tie 1 end of a rope to your neck, the other end to a tree.
Jump off tree.
Neck stretches.
You are taller.
While the hormones in milk might make you grow breasts, they wont make you taller. The fat in milk might make you fat. If your parrents are taller than you, you can expect another growth spert. If they are both short you will probably be short too. There isn't any thing you can do to cause it or prevent it.

All the stories you have heard about stunting your growth are cruel hoaxes perpetrated by desprate moms trying to get you to eat your veggies.

Geneticists now know it is not as simple as mom thought. Talk to you family doctor for reasurance and measure you mom and dad just to be sure. Tell them I told you to do it.
Stop worrying!! You're gonna keep growing till you're 20. It depends on the height of your parents. and also the height of their parents. Worrying won't help. :)
well.have you been eating? for your body to grow you need to supply it with vitamins and all that other stuff...but...let me just put this the simple way..eat 3 to 4 times a day...exercise for about 30 min. to an hour every day...(or at least every weakened). and ya...thats all there is to it..if you still don't grow its probably something to do with genetics..like if your mom or dad is small it likely you will be small..well...good luck with that!
geeezzz feel sorry for my bro. he's only 5'2 and he's gonna be a junior. not too good with the ladys. ain't that a shame. so just be happy that you aren't like 4'9 ( which i am ) just cuz your short doesn't prove you can't do much stuff if you were a couple inches taller. oh you should try tall shoes. yes that might work. good luck!
Worrying will stunt your growth!
you'll shoot up b4 u know it.
