Answers:
Height is based on genetics, you can't do anything to help you grow, but if you don't eat healthy and drink caffeine constantly those kind of things can stunt your growth and prevent you from reaching your full height!. And average height for an adult male in North America is 5'9"!.Www@Answer-Health@Com

There are numbers of reasons why a person is not tall, and most of them do not
have any effective treatment!.
Probably the commonest cause is genetic, that is to say that one or
both your parents are below average height, or that short stature runs
in your family!. There is really nothing that can be done about this!.
The other cause that most people know about is a deficiency of growth
hormone, which is produced by the pituitary gland situated at the base
of the brain!. If a deficiency of this hormone is discovered early
enough in life, it is sometimes possible to give treatment with
injections of growth hormone to increase height!. However, by the time
you get to 17 years of age, your bones may not respond to the effect
of the hormone!. The only way to find out if you have this condition is
to discuss it with your doctor!. Blood tests an X-rays to see how your
bones are growing can usually make the diagnosis, but for treatment
you would need referral to a specialist!. These investigations should
also show if there is any other cause for your short stature!.
But you should not think that it will definitely help you!. Medical
science can not make you the way you want to be - and it is true not
only for height - so it's better to accept yourself as you are!. Tall
people are not necessary happier than short people - look at the
tallest man in Ukraine, who was stripped of his title, lives alone
with his mother, and has constant legs pain!
The exercises they advertise on-line may increase your height
temporarily for 0,5 - 1 cm, it's hardly noticeable and does not worth
the trouble: your height varies during the day on its own!.
Very occasionally, surgeons will try an operation to lengthen the
bones in the legs!. This is very difficult, and takes many months or
even years, and a series of operations!. It is a dreadful operation,
and I mentioned it only because you may have heard of it!. Never
consider mutilating yourself for a miserable increase in height, and
be happy as you are!.

Theres no exercise that could help you, however there are hormonal treatments out there!. But think before you do anything, because this could be your genes, and by the way your only 14, you still have a few years to grow taller!. Dont concentrate on your height!

kepp your body healthy, in other words eat right and exercise!.
Though going to the gym can mess with your growth

Ive heard that parctising basketball and eating camel meat is supposed to make you taller, I dont believe in it but maybe you should try that!.Www@Answer-Health@Com

I think you should start running long distances!. Do some stretching before hand to help your hamstrings adapt!. It will make your muscles tighten and stronger because inevitably you will have a growth spurt soon and strong muscles help to keep your back alignment!. Www@Answer-Health@Com
