I am neither a physician nor a specialist, but I have 3 boys. As I understand it, kids grow in spurts, where the body will increase in size, then it will kind of pause to catch its breath while the brain and organs catch up. My guess would be that you were in one of these lulls (so you simply didn't grow), and made a mistake in one of your measurements (not standing straight, measuring device not level across the top of your head, wrote it down wrong, or some such). REALLY growing shorter would be an indication of osteoporosis (unlikely at your age) or scoliosis, which you would most likely already be aware of if you had it. But really, what's the hurry?
No, squatting only makes you LOOK shorter in height temporarily.
It is only possible to increase one's height if there was a medical condition inhibiting growth in the first place or a person has not finished growing. There are also rumoured surgical procedures to help lengthen a persons legs.

Usually you grow taller when growing from childhood to adulthood. The fastest growing period is in your teens. You might also become a little shorter if living very old. Smoking prevents growing height, that's why many who have started smoking while still growing, stayed short.
You can be any height and be a cheerleader, but most are a little bit shorter because it is easier to do lifts and flips if someone in shorter.
She was 18, and that's about when women stop growing, so she was probably the height that she is now or maybe one inch shorter.
No, there are no safe or effective methods to stunt your body height or make yourself shorter. Height is primarily determined by genetics and hormones, and attempting to interfere with natural growth can have negative consequences for your health. It's important to embrace and accept your natural height.
