wait another 2 or 3 years. see if you grow more.

otherwise, you can't do anything but blame your parents for giving you bad genes

There's a chance you wont grow anymore, but you never know as it is possible. Your family physician should be able to tell you if you have stopped or not (if you had the same doctor keep track of your growth). There are alternate methods if you still want a few more inches. My advice to you is to be happy with being 5'7. If you start taking hormones and drugs to grow taller you can have REAL big problems later on. 5'7 aint too bad, you still may get a inch or 2 (or maybe more, it has happened). Just be sure to take multi vitamins, exercise, and eat/sleep well.
