Am I gonna grow taller?!


Question: Am I gonna grow taller!?
I'm 13, 14 this october!. I got my period in september of 2006, and at that time I was like 5'1!.
Now I'm almost 5'3, and I really wanna be taller! My dad is tall!. 6'2!. But my mom is short, 5'0!. My sister is perfect height, 5'7! She's so lucky!. My doctor said I would grow to at least 5'4, which I guess I would be happy with, but 2 years after my period, I am barely 5'3! I know I'm only 13, but my sister stopped growing when she was 14!. And it doesn't seem like I've grow much lately!. Is there any hope for me!?

Answers:
Yes!. Everyone's bodies are different!. You'll be growing for a few more years!. And will probably have a height about the same as your sister!.Www@Answer-Health@Com

Interesting that you completely ignore the opinion of your college-educated, experienced Doctor, a man who knows you and your family well, and choose to ask a bunch of perfect strangers who know you not at all!.
The internet is getting stranger all the time!.
OK, to comply with the rules I have to answer!.!.!. Yes!.Www@Answer-Health@Com

Yeah you're still young in the growing department!.
My boyfriend didn't have his growth spurt until he was going into 11th grade, and before that he was probably only 5 foot!. Neither of his parents are very tall but his grandpa is, he himself is about 5'10'' now!.

most girls stop growing till they are about 18 so i think you can still grow about another inch
next time you go to the doctors ask them to look up how tall you were when you were 2 and double it and that should be about how tall you should getWww@Answer-Health@Com

Normally girls grow till the age of 18!. So, you have alot of probability to grow till that age!.
But, who knows the future!? Nobody!.Www@Answer-Health@Com

You probably still will!. Girls can grow even up until they're 21!.

The doctor can tell you a lot better than anybody here could!. Ask the doctor - they can take X-rays or do other tests to see if your bones are set at your final height!.Www@Answer-Health@Com

Of course! It's just that everyone is different!. While my sister grew steadily, I have long periods without growth, and then a spurt!.Www@Answer-Health@Com

Girls usually stop growing around 14 or 15, you may gain a half to maybe 1 inch!. Www@Answer-Health@Com

My general knowledge is that girls usually stop growing at around 15-16 and guys can keep on growing in their 20sWww@Answer-Health@Com

yoghurt, cheese, and boiled chicken!. Your bones need phosphorus, calcium, and magnesium while your muscles need water, protein and carbohydrates to grow!. Since you are growing taller, both your muscles and bones are getting bigger and longer!. Don't waste your money or your health on drugs, alcohol or cigarettes!.
