Answers: i'm only 5'3. my mom is barely 5 foot and my dad is 5'7

hmm, It all depends on your genetics. Seeing as your mom and dad are both pretty short i dont think you can grow taller them. Its almost impossible, unless one of your grandparents are tall.
But the best advice is to drink lots of milk, yeah milk is sooo gross, but its good for your bones, and it helps them grow. Seeing as your aslo only 14, and if your a girl you have still 3 more years to grow, if your a guy you have like...5 more years.
I was really cireous about this topic to because i to am also pretty short and im 15 ! and im a girl, I try and drink alot of milk so it gives me that basic vitamins i need to grow.
SO i would try drinking milk, and yeah, eating alot of foods with vitamin A and calcium, also zinc !
Everytime i eat i always check the label to make sure there is atleast 1 source of good nutrition, if there isnt then i wont eat it, unless its rootbeer ;P
Also exercise can help.

hope this helps =]

Your age would be a pretty crucial thing to know here...

you can still grow into your early twenties,so depends on age.

yes you could. but your doctor has a scale so check with them.

you probaly have 4-6 more inches

Chances are youve got another growth spurt in you left


Start taking vitamins and drink more water, I can't emphasize that enough.

Most people stop completely developing around 18-ish

so you've got plenty of time, but how you treat your body NOW effects how much you'll grow during your last years of growth
