Need advice on how to handle my height as a teenager.

I’m 5’5 at 17 years old in America. My father is 5’8, mother is 5’3, and both brothers are 6’1. I recently tore my meniscus and in the mri scans some of my growth plates are already closed and the others are currently closing. I don’t know how my brothers got so tall with my parents height genetics, but I got the short end of the stick. I got the worst body genetics because I also have wide hips along with anterior pelvic tilt, and the combo makes me look even more feminine because I am short. My physique otherwise is very good and I don’t have a very ugly face. It could be because of poor sleep and excessive screen time when I was younger because I had no regulation, but my mother also fed me mainly formula while she fed my brothers majority breast milk. I’m constantly getting made fun of for it so i do not know the next step for what I should do. Should I try to get on supplements or just accept being short?
