I dislike being short

The saddest thing I learned in bone health was that I am forever going to be this height. No matter what miracle drug or medicine I take, all my bones are fused already.
Besides that little fact which I will wallow in for quite a while, apparently, our bones are remodeled every four months. And, that by the time we reach our teens, most of the hyaline cartliage should've become solid bone already.
Well, bone health is quite important because if we have weak and brittle bones, you're going to have a lot of doctor's visits. Anyways, weak bones basically equals to a lot of fractures. To prevent that, drink a lot and lot of calcium. Calcium make stronger bones so that it's harder for fractures and broken anything. Also, Stand up straight. Your mother was right, good posture equals no scoliosis, any other -osis.

*See the picture? Girl - stand up straight - good posture, no hunch
Guy - lazy boor - always slouches - develops into a hunch - ohhhh, shame shame shame
