Answers:
Girls usually stop growing around 18!. You might grow a little bit more but with the height you gave of your parents, genetics say you'll be short!. But there is a chance if you have a taller grandparent you could take after one of them!. You could even out grow your parents!. I just wouldn't get your hopes up of being 5'9!.

If your parents are short and you've already started your period,then you won't grow any taller unless you haven't had that growth spurt of yours,which you should get when you first start your period!. If it has been more than 1 year and you haven't grown,then you wont grow anymore!.Www@Answer-Health@Com

If you are a girl you will stop growing at around 16, my sister and some other people I know were short at 15 and then went BAM and they were taller at 16

if you are a guy, we tend to grow till 21 and you have tons of time, even to grow slowly!

Hope this helps/makes you feel better if you were sadenedWww@Answer-Health@Com

usually the human body grows until it reaches the age of 18!. now, im no dr but u could go either way and keep growing or stop!. i kno that i stopped growing at 15 but luckily im 5'7" so i wasn't too upset about not growing anymore!. but my doc did suggest that i eat protein bars a lot after i got my period so that i would help my body keep growing! well i hope that this helps!Www@Answer-Health@Com

girls typicaly grow until 18, and guys grow until theyre 25!. i did most of my growing in 5th grade though, but you still have 5 years to grow!. thats a long time so dont worry!. the only reason i grew so fast is because i come from a freakishly tall family!. :PWww@Answer-Health@Com
