Height: For the most part your height is genetically determined and you can't increase it without taking human growth hormone which would not be an advisable move because of significant side effects. Continue your healthy habits and be aware of good posture.

Anxiety: I commend you for eating healthy and exercising regularly which will give you energy to function at your best! Feel happy about your height of 5’ 4. For a female it is Good height. Accept yourself including your physical appearance. Do not compare yourself with others. Respect yourself for good decision making in school and relationships. Do Breathing and Music relaxation, Yoga and Tai Chi.
