You will grow taller but sometimes an indication of your eventual height could be based on the height of your parents or older siblings.

I stopped growing at 15 so hopefully you have more luck in that department, but girls can continue growing until 21

[evgenia]

Just to add a little bit further Jasmine - I Googled your question, firstly because I am in the nursing profession and was interested in the answer and secondly because of your concerns. I think if you research it you will find an answer to your question.

[Taryn98]

You might grow a little bit more, but I wouldn't guess that it'll be a lot.

[wastedspace]

You might. It depends if your growth plates have closed or not. Your doctor can tell if for some reason you need an xray and there is a growth plate nearby, they can check the appearance of the bone.

[Juana]

Yes, I think you will grow some more, cos a lot of people get a so called growing sprint, haha funny, so as we call it in Dutch!!

[Amy123]

Don't worry about it I know how you feel. I am smaller than my friends. I'm sure that u will suddenly grow taller but some people are quite small and grow when they are older.

[sallyfunshine]

girls grow until 21 even a little. a lot of girls have a growth spurt in college ur only 14 ull grow

[jenna123]

i had my growth spurt when i turned 16 so dont worry, you still have time to grow, but it also depends on your parents height.

[Emmaaa]

Plenty of time to grow ..... Don't worry :)

Great things come in small packages!!!

[Laura Crofty]

I'm not much taller myself, 5'3. It's no biggy to me

[AnnaThaBabe]

Great things come in small packages!!!

somtimes that is so true :metal:

[NotShortButFunsized]

If your feet are still growing you still have room to grow vertically. Before you can get taller your body has to build the foundation to support and stabilize it right?

[LoveLessOne]

It depends on like genetics and and what you eat. If you have a history of short people in ur family, then you may be a bit short

[butterfly00]

Everyone is different. Im only about 5'2". If I stopped growing right now I would like still be happy with who I am.
