I’m 16 and 5’3 and 3/4. I’ve been in the 5’3" range since I was 11. I guess I started puberty early, because I got my period a week after my 10th birthday. I dont remember how tall I was then, but in 2nd grade I was 4’8". In second grade I was also size 8 shoe. Now I am a size 10 shoe.. which is weird seeing as I’m pretty short, and people with those size shoes as girls are almost 6 feet tall.

I really want to grow taller.. is it going to happen since feet grow before the rest of your body? I play volleyball and even though I have good hops, I won’t be able to go far with it competing for a spot on a team with taller girls who will reach the top of the net faster since they are closer to the top of it. My older sister is 6’1" and has size 13 shoe. But she started puberty when she was 12-13 years old. My parents are both in the 5’8-5’10" range, too.

My height is the only part of me I feel self conscious about. I like to be taller than other people. Like preferably get in the 5’8"-5’10" range. I don’t care if there’s less guys.. I want to date a tall guy anyways, but I don’t want there to be a huge height difference between us.
What are other signs your growing taller apart from your feet? I’ve actually been size 10 shoes since I was 14 or 15. I used to be like 9 3/4, so I’d wear size 10 and it would be a bit roomy, but I could also wear size 9 1/2. but now I just wear 10.
What are things I can do to hasten the growing process, too?

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.
