Question: From this info, can you try to make an educated guess at how tall I will be as an adult?
I'm turning 14 in a few months, and I'm 5"1'. I had my period since 5th grade, and I highly doubt I grew much. My mom is 5"5', my dad is 5'7' (and a half, probably), my brother is about 5'8', and my sister is 5'3 (or maybe 5'3' and a half). How tall do you think I would be?? I got a lot of my dad's genes (I'm the youngest), my brother got a lot of my mom's genes, and my sister got mostly my mom's genes. So.. help me please! I reeaally want to grow taller.. it's depressing, actually.

ALSO, I'm 123-5 lbs. I am NOT fat at all if you look at me. It's mainly muscle that takes up that weight. (I used to do volleyball - which got me big thighs - and gymnastics - made my core all hard and firm - , and currently I'm doing stuff too..plus, from my mom, I have muscley calves. I'm one of the fastest runners in my school, lol)

Your whole family sounds short, you're probably looking at around your between your mother and your sisters height.
I have a plethora of knowledge, just doing my part to enrich the world.
There is no possible way to predict something like your height.
You will be from the top of your head down to the bottom of your feet....that is how tall you will be!
id say between like 5'4 and 5'6
Exercises
A minimum of 10 minutes intense exercise increases adrenalin, lactate, nerve acidity and nitric oxide. This stimulates the production of the growth hormone not only during the exercise period but also during rest periods. Since dehydration reduces the growth hormone production drinking enough water during exercise is important.
Exercise equipment that can aid proper performance of spine and knee exercises for height increase are the door gym, inversion boots and table, ankle weights, weightlifting wrist wraps and the stationary bike. Knee exercises are great to induce growth in people who have crossed the age of vertical growth. Stretching exercises, hanging and sprints are by far the most efficient ways to grow taller naturally.
Proper diet
Carbohydrates and fats deactivate the growth hormones and should be avoided. Fatty foods like burgers and chips lead to obesity and make a person look shorter. Soft drinks, alcohol, junk foods and caffeine hinder growth and should be left out from the diet. Sugar drinks with high phosphorous content can cause calcium excretion through urine and must be avoided.
Adequate sleep
The growth hormone release by the pituitary gland reaches its peak one hour after you sleep at night. Sound sleep for 8-9 hours a day is hence vital for augmenting height. A comfortable mattress and a dark warm room help to induce deep sleep.
Health supplements to induce growth
Personally I took a good growth booster called " HELPO Growth Formula " http://www.helpogrowthformula.com It helps build up cartilage and bones and increase height. The product allows quicker absorption. It helped me alot to grow taller.
These steps combined with a good posture can go a long way at making you appear and grow taller naturally.
