Hormones. It may be genetic. I have friends that developed early and got their periods when they were in 4th grade. Don't worry about your height, there's always heels. By the way, how did your doctor know you were going to be 5'5? That seems weird that he would say that.

Not even doctors can really tell how tall a person is going to be. They can make an educated guess but that's all it is- a guess. There's nothing wrong with being short. (You'll fit nicely with tall and short guys!) Plus you still might grow some!
More and more girls are developing early. Some researchers say its cause of all of the hormones in food nowadays. Some of puberty onset is genetic.

To start puberty at 8 is borderline. It is not too soon as to say something is wrong, but it is on the earliest extreme of normality. And yes, it is genetic. And about your height you still have two more years to grow up

Everyone develops at different rates, obvioulsy your mom is only 5' 5'' so that is where you get your height from....I am only 5'3'' and never had any problems with my height and i am sure you won't either

No one really knows, but as a female who is 6'1", there plus and minuses to everything in life. And being tall isnt all that great.
