Should I gett HGH therapy?
I am 17 years old and my height is 5'3. There are many things I am rejected from and my height is the sole reason. I am physically fit and intelligent, but my height seems to make good things bad. Is HGH therapy the answer for me? If it is, how tall would it make me? Please give me your best advice.

Unfortunately, no, there are none that work.
Nothing can force your body to grow taller than your DNA says you will. There are some things that can take away from your potential height (including smoking, drugs, caffeine, etc), so as long as you stay away from those and have a healthy diet, you should grow as tall as you’re supposed to. Besides all that, your growing age normally peaks around 20 years old and since you’re younger than that, you’ve got plenty of time to finish growing and any HGH pills (or other "artificial growth" products) can actually be detrimental to your height and/or health.
The only thing that actually would work would be a risky, expensive, and very painful surgery where they cut your leg in half (no joke), add a few spacers, then let your body heal. It’s most common in China where height has a bigger impact in certain jobs. Over the course of a year or two, they could add an inch or so to your leg… but I don’t think it would be worth the pain and price myself.
However, if they are insoles, those will help to boost your height because they are adding the height, not making you grow taller.
Good luck and I hope I helped!
