It is not bad being short. I stopped growing in 5th grade. I'm in my twenties and I'm 4ft 8 inches. There are many reasons to why people are short. It can be genetics, thyroid problems, nutrition, etc. My mother didn't have a growth spurt til college. Honestly, being short isn't too bad. I can dress up in a costume and get free Halloween candy. I get tipped more at work. People will think you are cute. You can use that to your advantage. People will help you out more since they think you are little and "weak". I'm actually pretty strong, I just don't look like it. Both of my parents are around 6 ft tall. I also have a twin and younger sister who are taller than me. I'm the shortest. If you are worried about your chest, I suggest you buy a bra that you feel good in. Some bras are made to make you look bigger. You should love the way you are. It took me awhile to accept it, but now that I'm older I see how it can be good. You could end up getting a late growth spurt. I even make jokes about myself. My coworkers ask me to describe people and they ask if the person is tall. What I like to say is that I consider everyone tall. There are also more videos on YouTube that express how shortness is not so bad. Just focus on the positive.
