its possible you could grow another couple inches but very unlikely. the height you are now will probably be your adult height.

Your at the age most girls stop growing unless you want to grow around and not taller. My daughter stopped growing in height when she was 15.
There are always exceptions, however if your normal height for your age I doubt if you grow an another inch.

Assuming that you are "average" in health then you likely won't grow for more than a year after you started your period. Some people grow a bit for two years, but most of your growth will have occurred prior to starting your period. My 14 year old daughter grew 2 inches in the first 6 months after she started and not at all for the last 2 years. My brother is an OB-GYN and he says that virtually all females stop growing within a year after. Good luck!

That is so hard to answer without knowing a great deal more about you and your family. Some girls have reached their full growth by age 16, others hit a growth spurt at that age and don't top out until they are around 18. Take a look at your parents and compare your height with theirs. Then look through the rest of the family and see what the highs and lows are (as far as height goes) and that will give you some indication of what to expect.
However tall you are, or aren't, carry yourself proudly, because you're just the way God wanted you to be.

You can grow each year until you are around 21. It all depends on hereditary and it is in the genes. Good health helps too. Eat well and get lots of rest and exercise to help you grow.
I can not tell you how many inches because everyone is different.
Take your vitamins and minerals too.

It depends. I think most people are done growing in their late teens, but you could still grow into your early twenties I think. As for inches, who knows. Maybe a couple, maybe none. Ask your parents and if they grew, you may too.
Personally, I think I was done growing height-wise at your age.

I stopped growing when I was 12. Everyone is different.
