Am I a late bloomer -growth?!


Question: Am I a late bloomer -growth?
I'm a girl, 15 years of age. 5ft 1" tall(or short?). And I hate being this short because i'm going to be 16 later this year and omg I look like a 12 year old . Am I a late bloomer in Growth? (Not puberty...i'm talking about growth only). And if i'm not a late bloomer, do you think I have a chance of growing anymore, or a growth spurt? Also, i weigh 91 pounds. Is that healthy or underweight for my height?
Please help , thanks! Best answer receives 10 pts.

Answers:

If you're not delayed with puberty also, you're just short.

Most girls have their big growth spurt during early puberty (usually between age 10-13) and then only grow another 1-4 inches, finishing up at around age 15-16 (or 2-3 years after having their first period). So, if you're at the normal development of a 15 year old, you probably will not grow much more, an inch or so at most. There's nothing wrong with being shorter, you can always wear heals if you want a bit of a lift =]

Also, I don't think you're underweight for someone your age. When you are an adult, the healthy weight for someone your height will be about 115-130lbs.
