There is no possible way to determine if you will have a growth spurt. You may provide yourself an idea of your adult height by determining your the height of your parents, but that's not a true indicator. Many people have growth spurts in their early teens while others have them much later as they reach the level of adulthood. The bottom line is simple...there is nothing you can do about your height. You are genetically predisposed to reach a specific height and that's it. Regardless of your height, you make the best of it and never allow it to hinder your goals.

sweetie... I am short too... But you can have a growth spurt after your period... i had a few... But if you talk to your doctor they can give you an estimate of just how tall you will get (based on your spine and other factors)
(i am 19 and only 5'2... and i love it... as long as i take care of my skin and body i will look young forever.... always be cute!)
Good luck

Yes, you will continue to grow after you get your period, About half the girls start their period at age 11-13, if they stopped growing at that age, the world would be full of 4 foot tall women.

eventually you'll grow until then, wear high heeled shoes to make you look taller. Vertical stripes also elongate the legs.
