I'm a 17 year old male, 5'3". Does anyone have anyone tricks to appear taller?

I'm kind of self-conscious about my height, and though I am told I have a good personality, I think girls tend to avoid dating the "short guys" at my school. Does anyone have any hints, tips, etc. for myself and my "vertically challenged" brothers in the world? =) Thank you!

There are shoes that have lifts hidden in the soles that add 1 to 2 inches and then shirts with vertical (up and down) stripes help with the illusion. Never wear horizontal (sideways) stripes as they make you seem rounder and shorter. When you can wear a baseball type cap like all the guys wear but adjust the band so it sits higher up on your head. This will give the illusion of another inch or so.

None of these things help as much as being confident and sure of yourself and who you are. You know you are as good as any guy so just be yourself and believe fully in yourself without being arrogant or a jerk and height begins to matter less to girls. If they see a guy who is comfortable, caring, and sure of his own identity, they are attracted.
