5'2, 115: You are quite small for your age and weight and should have your Mom or Dad take you to a Pediatrician as soon as you can. The doctor will find the possible causes and plan treatment

See pediatrician.: Drinking an abundance of milk and vitamin pills won't help. There is no way to "speed up" puberty naturally. However, if you have a hormonal imbalance, a pediatrician will be able to determine if you have delayed puberty for a reason. If one of your hormones is low, it can be supplemented medically. Once you fully enter puberty, your height will likely increase.
