well i'm 17 and since i was around 13-14 i started growing up a little asymetric(dunno how it's spelled correctly) that means all my right side of the body is a little bigger than my left side... the differance isn't noticeble but it is for me and i was wondering if this is just a part of the growing up period or will i stay like this forever...

Well, internally almost everyone is asymmetric. Your heart is a little more on your left, your stomach is on your left, and so on and so on.
As far as external features, most people are a little off symmetrically there too. I know when I try on new shoes, I always use my right foot because it's a half size bigger than my left. And many people report similar differences between breasts, hands, eyes, or whatever else you choose to measure.
If the difference is especially pronouced, it will probably fade. But don't expect everything to even out exactly. It's normal!

most people are not perfectly symmetric (most women's breasts are different sizes! MANY people have 2 different sized feet!)
If this is a matter of muscle mass - you can work one side of the body more than the other to balance it out.
If this is a matter of stunted growth of your bones and it is very obvious, you may want to see a doctor. You could also have scoliosis that is making your back uneven. If it is truly pronounced, there is nothing wrong with seeing a doctor.
if it is minimal - just know that most of us have parts that are not exactly the same size on both sides.
