Ways to increase height

Hello. I am a male who's currently 19 years old and standing only at 5'2. According to one of my doctors, I've only grown .25" or a quarter of an inch for the past 5 years. my mom is 5'2 and my father is 4'8. I know many of you might just tell me to stick with it or accept my height as it is, so please, don't just tell me that. I was wondering if theres any exercises, stretches, yoga, pilates, etc. that will help increase my height. supplements are also welcomed if you know of any. Anything that you know MAY help, please post. Thank you!
p.s. it's a big problem...to be in college and all and looking up to everything.
