I'm a 14 Female And Only 5 Feet Tall. Will I Grow Anymore?

This is a bit of a sore subject as I am
the shortest girl in my entire grade. Im
getting more anxious as my sister who is 3
years younger than I am is my exact
height. Do you think I will grow anymore
or this is my final height? Thank you.
:d

It is difficult for someone online to
speculate as to whether or not you may
continue to grow or not. Your height has
to do with genetics. Are both your
parents tall? Are your parents short?
Have you always been small? Have you
already gone through your major growth
spurt during puberty? These are all
things that you need to take into
consideration. Chances are if you have
already gone through you major growth
spurt during puberty, you may only grow
another couple of centimetres or so.
But, again, this all depends on your
genes! You and your sister are
different...Heck...My bro is 5 years
younger than me..And is already 6'1"...I'm
only 5'6". Height is something you dont
really have much control over hun.
Sorry!

Hey you may have stopped growing but no
one can know that for sure I know that
when I was in grade 8 and 13 ( i'm now 19
) I had finished growing i'm 5'3 and a
quarter lol. But hey good things come in
small packages. My family is all taller
than me my sister who is 13 is 5'6 my
brother whos 15 is 6 ft and my other
brother who is 18 is 6 ft so I guess you
never know my dads 5'5 and my moms 5'6 but
my dads brother are all tall. And who
ever said being short was a bad thing. I
consider it a great thing.

You Can Tell How Much Growing You Have Left

Most women hit bone maturity about 12-15
yrs old. This means you are not going to
grow much! Mds will often use what they
call a bone age x-ray. This is an x-ray
of your hand and based on the growth
plates in your hand they can tell if you
are going to grow much more. It is not an
exact science but it can let you know if
you are done growing.

Hey im 14 too but im 5'3 and my sisters 16
almost 17 and shes only just 5' my mom is
only 5'1 and I think my dad is I think
prolly bout 5'8 or so. Theres still
probally some hope for u!!! Most all of
my girls in my class r the same height as
me cept maybe like 4 girls but one is only
I think like not even 5'! Sucks to be
her! I think its kool to be short b.C if
u play basketball or soccer u can get
right in the middle and steal the ball the
short ones also can run faster. If ur a
cheerleader then u can be the stunt girl!!
 my
sis got to be the lucky one for that job
in our school! So hopefully I gave u some
hope but idk like others said depends on
ur family!!
mucho luck!

Contury to popular belief most women are
fully physically developed by 14 (whereas
myself as I bloke took until 21 before I
grew a beard).
So it's possibly you may not grow any
higher. I certainly know lots of women
suckers as you.
You could say not a big deal since it's
common, but i'd disagree. You might
continue growing, it's hard to say. Look
at your mother and grandmother.
Women are shorter than men because
estrogen inhibits growth.

I didn't stop growing until I was about
16-17. I was about 5'8" at 14 and grew
to 5'11" by about 16.. So while some stop
early, some grow late. Unfortunately
there's no way to tell which way it will
happen.

Five feet tall is not that short! I am
five one. I stopped growing at 13. It
all depends on the individual person.
But, being five feet tall is not bad at
all. At least you got that tall!

I just got a phyiscal today - I have been
5'4 since 7th grade - I got a growth spurt
this summer at 24 yrs of age - I think it
is odd and I am not sure if it is normal.
I am not a little over 5'5 and it just
happened all of the sudden... So I guess
you never know.

I'm a Shorti Too!

Hey girl! I'm 17 (18 in two months), and
i've been 5"1' since 9th grade. I'm not
going to grow anymore, and this is my
final height. It's possible that you may
grow some more. A good way to determine
your final height is to look at your
relatives. If most of them are fairly
short, you can bet that you will be too.

You cant do anything to change your
height. It is all about genetics and
heredity. Dont think or worry about it.

i am 14 and I am only 4'5'' in my family
it is genetic my mom is 4'11'' my twin
sister who is younger by 1 hour 11 minutes
is 5'5'' so I think it depends on your
genetics ask your mom when she stopped
growing and ask your dads sisters (if
any.) everyone is different. And everyone
is cool in there own way! :lol:

I know what you mean I was 5'1" until I

happy I was not suckers as my aunt

You may grow more you may not... Although
it may not be much more... Besides the
average height for women is less than
5'4"....

I just turned 14 and im 6ft (male) my
father is 5'9'' and my mother is 5'9'' but
ill probably end up being about 6'4'' to
6'6'' or maybe bigger so its nothing to do
with height of parents. Chances are youll
be about average like 5'4''
