Height. Will I get taller?

My height.Im 14 and between 5ft-5ft 2.5".My mom is 5ft3" and my dad is 6ft2".My sister is in 7th grade and shes 4ft12",so shes pretty close to me.I hear people saying that girls usually stop growing around the time they have had there first period.Ive already had mine,but some people still think I might grow some more.I hate being short,I always feel like I cant do half the things that taller people do.They're kids in my grade who are shorter than me but im still short.My dad side of the family is pretty tall, and my mom side is a mix of both heights.Will I get taller?

Everyone is different. Give yourself some time. If your part mexican it would be normal even if your family is tall. You might have just caught a very unlikely gene. I'm 15 and I'm 4' 10".
