Answers:
being that you are thirteen!. You have some more growing to do!. Not much, but I am sure you should grow some more!. You will be done growing all togather around 18ish!. I was still growing till at least 15!. I have been stuck at that height now!. so do not worry about it!. you will grow, and if you do not someone will still find you and love you for who you are!.Www@Answer-Health@Com

If you haven't grown for two years there is a good chance you are done growing!. Most children grow an inch a year (sometimes more during a growth spurt) you have not!. Your doctor can send you to have a x-ray done to see if you are going to grow more!. The x-ray looks at your growth plates in your legs!. They look different when there is no more growth and they don't completely stop until a person has grown as much as they will!. They do not "come alive" again unless you take growth hormones (similar to the ones the baseball guys have used illegally)!.Www@Answer-Health@Com

YOURE ONLY 13!!!!! you grow until youre in your 20's so im prety sure youll have a big growth spurt in your later teens!. i suggest you find a new doctor unless you have some kind of growth issue that you neglected to inform us about becuase a real doctor would realize youre only 13 and have years ahead of you to grow!. good luck! ?Www@Answer-Health@Com

doctors are liars, like my big bro got really fat and the doc said his man boobs will go away when he loses most of the weight!. well its been like 4 or 5 years and he lost alo of weight and his boobs are saggy!. back to your problem, some doctors can give you hormonal meds to grow faster!. but i think it stills causes some side effects, like rapid hair growth and it make your voice deeper!.Www@Answer-Health@Com

you might have another growth spurt but that is unlikely and if it were to happen you would grow an inch!? max 2!. so you would be 4 11'!. thats still pretty short!.
don't worry though you'll get some decent heels when your older and you'll be a normal short-ish height when you have them on!. Www@Answer-Health@Com

You're still young!. I grew until I was 18!. I doubt you'll have any growth spurts at this point, but I highly doubt you've stopped!. How tall are your parents!? That should give you some indication about what height you'll be!.Www@Answer-Health@Com

No you will continue to grow!

an xray of the growth plates at the ends of your long bones could tell!. Nothing wrong with 4 10, you'll always be thought younger than you are!.Www@Answer-Health@Com

Genes, nutrition, and overall health have their effects right from the beginning!. Rather predictably we achieve about half of our adult height by age 2; so, one way to predict ultimate height is simply to double the height achieved by the second birthday!. Bone age is assessed by X-rays that indicate how much development has already occurred in the skeleton and how much more is possible; for example, if the growth plates are still open, more growth is likely!. The closer you are to final height (by virtue of your age or the finding of closed growth plates on X-rays), the better these formulas predict height!.

The observation that family members tend to be of similar stature is born out by formulas designed to predict height!. One commonly quoted formula uses parental height and gender to predict adult height (in inches) as follows:

For men: (height of mother + height of father + 5)/2

For women: (height of mother + height of father
