Height is one of the things that you really can't change. It's not like having small breasts or a bad nose that you can have fixed if it's bugging you. You need to accept your height and enjoy it.
I'm 18 and just under 6ft tall. It's not always been easy (especially when you're taller than a lot of men) but I've come to embrace it. I'm sure you can do the same with your height. Clothes will look fine on you, most shops have petite sections plus you can wear killer heels without towering over everybody. Lots of men like shorter girls, in fact most prefer it so don't worry about all that stuff. At 5ft tall, you're only about 4inches (maybe 5) below the national average - plus you're only twelve so I'm sure you've got a bit of growing to do yet!

You're SAD because you're only 5 feet? I'd do anything to be 5 feet! I'm not tall at all, some people also consider me to be short (5ft 3) but I still want to be shorter. :( You're lucky because guys usually like short girls, they think they're cute. And you'll probably never have to worry about finding a guy shorter than you. Since you're only 15 you might grow a little more.

Females normally stop growing at/around the age of eighteen, so you can still grow taller. Being short is ok. It really goes on the guys personal preferences. So you will be able to find plenty of guys that like that. And there are tons of clothes that you will be able to wear that are nice.

You will still grow. I have had doctors say to me "oh, your growth plates have closed so you will not grow anymore." I don't know about your growth plates and if they have closed or not, but even though my doctor said mine did, I still grew! Ha! You are still young yet. You should grow, but you have to be patient. I have seen many guys who have adored smaller girls.
Clothes will look fine on ya. It is okay to be short, it is pretty awesome really!
