Have I stopped growing?!


Question:

Have I stopped growing?

i'm almost 16, i'm 5'4", my mom is 5'4" and my dad is 5'11". a lot of my relatives are tall (5'8" +). so, do you think i'll grow any taller, because i feel like i haven't even hit a growth spurt .. ever..

Additional Details

2 weeks ago
i started menstruating at 12

but i've grown a lot since then so the whole "you stop growing 2 years after your period" doesn't really apply to me


Answers:

Our Pediatrician says you take mom and dad's height and add them together, divide by 2 and then add 2 inches for a boy or subtract 2 inches if you are a girl. That's pretty close to how tall you are going to be. So, according to that I think you will grow a little more.
