I’m about 5’2″ and want to know if I will grow any taller?
I’ve read several questions on here about growing taller and I feel that I can provide a bit more details, so maybe I’ll get a better answer than other people. I’m a 15 year old female (16 in December) and I’m currently 5’2". My mom is 5’7" and my dad 5’9". My grandparents and all of my aunts and uncles are around that height too. I never really had a "growth spurt". I just grew about 2 inches over a period of 3 years. No fast growth…I have several close female friends that are the same height as me, but they all wear a size 4-6 in shoes and they’ve all had a growth spurt. I’m the only one that’s 5’2" and wears a size 8 shoe. My taller friends all have bigger size shoes. One of my female friends is 6 months younger than me, wears a size 11 and is 5’11". I’ve always heard that when you wear a bigger size shoe, you will be taller, which is the case with all of my friends. My question is will I grow any taller? Nobody in my family is this short and I really hate being the shortest.

statistically, children end up taller than their parents of the same gender (girls end up taller than their moms, guys end up taller than their dads) but anything is possible. You might have the short end of the straw with height, and you might stay 5’2".
Just make sure you eat healthy, get enough sleep, and exercise, and you’ll reach your maximum genetic height.
anything is possible too, i grew 8 inches when i turned 22 about a year and a a half ago, and i’m still growing. I saw a girl in high school grow 5 inches over senior year (she was 18) so it’s possible.
You eat your veggies and you’ll grow :] i’m 5’11" or 6. and I’m only 15.
yeah your probably will. I’m not promising anything but it is very likely. my sister was 5’2" for a while and then at around 18 she was 5’6" were nor exactly sure when her growth spurt was or if it was even a growth spurt, but she did grow. and fyi im 13 years youger than her and im 5’7". so im twelve.. and our dad it 6’1" and our mom is 5’11. the 2nd to oldest sister is 5’8" and the 2nd to youngest (not me) is 5’9". im the only one still growing. soo our parents didnt really factor into some of my sisters heights. keep that in mind.
Have you considered buying a chainsaw to even things up?
You’ll probably grow taller.My feet got bigger before I took a growth spurt at 16. Wore a size 8 and I was 5’5" tall. In one summer I grew 4 inches.
I am 19 years old and I am 5’3". My mom is about 5’3" and my dad is about 5’7". I am short to be my age, my parents are not that tall either except my dad. My brother is 16 and he is about 5’7" and my sister is 17 and she is the same height as me. So I know I ain’t growing anymore because once a women hits 18 they stop growing so im stuck on 5’3" forever.
