At 16, my son was about your height. In fact he always got stopped while driving for being too young to drive. The all of a sudden, he really started growing. Now he is 5'9". I also had a short nephew who was also too fat. He started growing at 16 too and is now 6'4". Men grow until they are 25, so don't worry. How tall is your dad, your mom, and your grandparents? It is all genetic.
Stretch yourself on a rack!!!
There isn't anything you can do to increase your height naturally. Anyone who tells you there is is a liar. Good nutition helps you grow but only severely malnourished people don't reach their full height potential.
Just learn to accpet yourself and stop worrying so much. Surround yourself with people who love you the way you are and stop thinking about your height.
There is a hormone treatment available from doctors for stimulating the growth of young people who are seriously under normal height. It worked extremely well for the son of friends of mine. Don't get your hopes up though, because I doubt that 65" would be considered an abnormal height. Perhaps you're just destined to be a small person, like me.
As far as exercise goes, you would need to do stretching type exercises like reaching up as far as you can but keeping your heels on the ground; touching your toes from a standing position; laying on your back and sitting up to touch your toes. Don't force or strain yourself, just take it steady but do it twice a day.
I do sympathise with your situation, as a lifetime of experience has proved to me that the world tends to not take small people seriously.
I've also found that many doctors don't take teenage height worries very seriously either. If you live in the UK and your NHS doctor won't take the matter seriously, you could ask your parents if they could pay for you to see a private doctor.
I think you're right to try for those extra inches, but don't damage your health doing it. Better to go through life a bit smaller, than in a wheelchair!
