As I remember girls will stop growing at the age of 20-25 at average as you may have known that girls grow more quickly than guys in their teen years but in your case I think that you might stop growing taller but you are still growing in other ways you can also try to drink more milk play sports such as basketball may slightly increase your height

Actually girls and boys both stop growing when the epiphysis on their long bones which is cartilidge becomes ossified or hardened becomes bone technically. In girls thats at about the age of 18, in guys its around 21. Different people have different bodies, and may end up stop growing at around 16-17. Generally girls stop by the age of 18 which is when ossification occurs. You could tell by an x-ray. Anything edible...we'll eat your proper amount of vitamins and minerals, Vitamin D and C. If this was a clinical problem you could be giving injections, growth hormones which may make you grow 5 cms a year but those are very costly, and must be done before your epiphysis and diaphysis join (ossification). Good luck hope this is helpful.

there is no set age for girls to stop growing (of course you cannot expect to be growing at 25)
at 14, soon to be 15 you can still grow and quite a lot. ask your parents about their grouth history. normally you will not grow taller than them.
i don't think there is anything you can do now in order to grow taller. if you have practiced sports (swimming, voley) there may be a chance

they grow taller until theyre about 18
it depends though
if youre a later bloomer and started your period late then you'll still time
i dont know anything about what you can eat but you should see your doctor
there might be drugs available if youre not developing properly

A girl will usually stop growing once she has her first period. Not much promotes healthy bone growth outside of lots of calcium.
