haha... when i was 14, i was still 4'10" don't worry. your growth spurt will come but unfortunately, i don't have any scientific knowledge or the art of predicting futures to tell you when. even if your intermediate family is tall, you might have gotten some traits from your, let's say, your mother's brother, who might be short. so, it's just a matter of time. it is possible to grow 6-7 inches, maybe more. but unless you're vouching to become one of marc jacob's models, being short is nice (or maybe i say that because i'm short...)

It's funny you ask specifically for 6-7 inches, because that is typically how much a person grows during puberty. Unless you started going through puberty at a young age - which does happen but is rare, you SHOULD continue growing until you're about 16-20 years old. Some people will continue growing in their twenties. My advice is to ask your parents what their growing patterns were. How much you grow is based on your genetics. Without knowing your history or your family history, no one online can give you an exact answer but your parents can give you an idea.

Good luck and don't worry about being taller, everyone's got their own "flaws" they worry about. Don't let it get to you and have fun with life - these are the years you'll look back on the most.

It is def. possible that you have not yet hit your growth spurt. Ip depends on what stage of puberty you are in.

DEf. possible to grow another 6 inches or more if its in your genetic makeup.

you should hit a growth spurt soon... you still have at least 4 years of growing to do... and if you are that worried about it your doctor can do a simple exam of your spine and tell you about how much taller you will get....
