Well keep eating 3 meals a day. Eggs are great for you and cereal sucks.
Don't expect results until you're like, on your way out of high school though. Don't expect results at all really. Good nutrition gives your body its best case scenario but if your genes don't allow for it they don't allow for it.
There is no surefire way to become taller without surgery which is ridiculous.
Also like others said don't define your value by how tall you are. Don't define your value by how attractive other people think you are or by if you can get a girlfriend or not. Those are shitty values and you'll always be a failure if that's how you judge yourself.
Define your value by what you can control. Honesty. Loving kindness. Discipline. Having control of your ego. A combination of strength and humility. All of these things are what make a man. Everything else will precipitate from that.
I'm 6'5 and get zero bitches, btw. Just in case you might've thought that being tall gives you an advantage in the dating marketplace. It isn't much of an advantage at all unless (from what I hear) you're also fit, which is a sign of discipline over oneself much more than it is visually appealing.

6'5 here. Sleep a lot and eat a healthy diet. I'm 3" taller than the tallest recorded person in my bloodline and 6" taller than my tallest parent.
I usually credit my height to my mom ensuring I drank a full glass of milk with every dinner. Didn't always have to finish my food but always finished my milk. Seems silly but high calcium and protein probably helped me a lot.
My freshman year I was in online school and that's when my growth spurt hit, I consistently slept like 10-12 hours a day through the weeks. Grew like 3 or 4 inches taller during that year. However I also failed 3 classes. Don't do that.

Your classmates fail in their value of kindness when they pick on you. Don't be them and you'll be fine. Tough it out, man.
I got picked on in high school too, just more quietly, but I can say your whole world is gonna change once you're out of high school. It can only get better from here.
