But I’m assuming it was early based on your height and age. I’m a late bloomer and about 171.2cm (5’7.3 inches), 2-3ish weeks ago I was 5’6.5 (168 cm I think) even though I’m almost 19 in 4 months. I believe I’m still growing as I wake up with body aches and I just feel taller everyday. Maybe it will be the same for you.

Whether you haven't finished growing yet, you have a medical condition that inhibits your growth, or you simply are smaller or shorter than the average person your age, being small can, unfortunately, be a source of shame, difficulty, or bullying for many people. However, it certainly does not have to be; being small can be very normal as well as d...
Recognize that your size is not the problem.
Know that others who have insecurities about their own size or appearance are the ones to criticize or bully and create a problem out of your size that you would not otherwise have.
Understand that other people may treat you badly about your size because they have also been mistreated, they think it is normal or acceptable because of their other interactions with peers or family, or because they see smaller size as being less desirable from TV shows, movies, or the internet.
Imagine that no one made comments about you being small or otherwise mistreated you for it. Would you still have a problem with your size? This may help you to see that it is other people creating the problem, not your small size. Are there things about your small size that you like?
Respond to bullies or others who mistreat you for your size.
Let people know when they say something about your size that you don't like, rather than quietly accepting it.
Talk to a doctor if you are concerned about an inability to gain weight, grow, or if you already know you have a condition that inhibits these things. Follow a doctor's advice on how best to treat, supplement, or live with something that affects your size.
Ask about a possible nutrient deficiency or other common condition that could affect weight loss or ability to gain weight, especially if you have other unusual symptoms.
Always consult with your doctor before embarking on any physical or diet regimen to attempt to gain size or weight.
Consume healthy, whole foods regularly and in accordance with any dietary or health restrictions.
Count the calories you eat in a typical day and increase that number by 200 to 500 calories per day to start gaining weight if that is recommended by a dietician. Just be sure to avoid adding calories from processed junk foods.
Eat protein from food like meat, eggs, and nuts. Focus on complex carbohydrates from foods like rice, whole wheat, and potatoes. Get healthy fats from olive oil, coconut oil, and avocados.
Join a sport like gymnastics or wrestling.
Ask about how you can join a team through your school or a local club that's accepting new players. There are many sports and activities that small individuals, in particular, can excel at.
Join a sport like wrestling, boxing, martial arts, dance, gymnastics, weightlifting, horse racing, and positions within other sports for which small size is an advantage or necessity.
Smaller individuals typically do well in these activities due to a lower center of gravity and/or increased ability to move the body easily and quickly.
Use your small size to comfortably fit into small areas, either for fun or out of necessity.
Move through crowds more easily as a small individual, and others may also allow you to stand in front of them at concerts or other events where you might have difficulty seeing over taller people.
Check the ergonomics of your favorite places to work or study.
Many desks and chairs are built for some average height person, so they might not fit you too well.
Choose an office or task chair which fits you. It should, ideally, adjust low enough for your feet to rest flat on the floor. Also, check the depth of the chair. Your knees should fold over the edge while your back is supported. Armrests and lumbar support should, likewise, be able to be adjusted so they suit your height.
Adjust the height of your office chair to a height which fits you.
Make sure your feet rest comfortably on the floor when you're seated. If they don't, or if you must raise your seat to match too high a desk, place a footstool under your feet, or improvise another object, such as a ream of paper, box, or old book.
Adjust the height of your desk, bench, or other work surfaces. If the work surface is not adjustable, as in the case of most kitchen counters, you could either choose a lower work surface (such as the kitchen table) or raise yourself. An aerobic exercise step is a good, sturdy place to stand, with the option to adjust the height.
