So my dad threw my Jiberish in the dryer, and it shrunk. Its a L and im 5'9'' so its pretty small on me now. Whats the best way to stretch the hoodie back to its original size, and if possible more?

any hoody with a zipper will only stretch as long as the zipper. you can however stretch the back of it by getting it wet holding it upside down puting your foot in the hood and pulling up on the back of it. hold it like this for a min or so and repeat evey hour or so until the back is nice and long.

I'm crying for you, other than ^^ what he said ^^ convince your dad to somehow buy you another? My parents are usually pretty chill if they mess up my stuff about fixing it. I know it would be really hard to get ahold of a certain Jibberish peice though possibly.

Putting it in the washer and then stretching in the direction you want it bigger while its wet, and then hanging it to dry is the best way to go. I think the easiest way to do it is to have a friend (brother, sister whatever) hold one end for you and you hold the other. Using your foot in the hood or trying to do it by yourself can result in the hoody tearing at the seams. At 6'4" I have to do this with a lot of my clothes all the time. Hope it works out for you.
