Ok. So personally, I don't really care how tall I am. But my parents on the other hand, well that's another story altogether. They really want me to grow. It's been the cause of many fights in my house and I mean, ever since I was little, all I remember hearing was "you've got to be at least 5'3''" but now I'm running out of time and the pressure is getting worse.

it's all about genetics, so don't worry about it I didn't stop growing until I was 18, so you still have time

Oops sorry sweetie your pretty much at your peek:( You might possible grow an inch or two but I can't be sure. Cause its different for everyone. But usually for girls its around 15-16 when they stop growing.
But don't worry, being tall isn't a walk in the park at all! I know personally.
I'm 5'8 and for the most part it kinda sucks! Guys go after shorter girls so that's a plus there, and also tall girls let me tell ya can be clumsy.
You'll get used to your height, I did after a while. Just be happy with your height. Its what makes you, you Which is something height will never give you.
Have fun and Merry Christmas!!! ( I know its a little early but I just love this time of year!!!)

My friend squeeker had the same problem. 16 years old 5'1. He was the kid everyone shoved in lockers and threw in trash cans. By the time he hit 20 he had only grown to 5'3. Still short in guy world. My recommendation would be to buff up. Make up for your height by building muscle. Not too much you don't wanna become one of those veiny freaks. Just enough to tell people not to mess with you just cuz your short. I mean look at what that neopolian(?) dude did. He was a freaky little short french dude but he took over countries. It's all about self image and how you see yourself. So just hit up the gym a few times a week and you should be good.

What's wrong with your height? Nothing as far as I can see. How can you grow? Wait. . . you might add a few inches before you are 18 or so. . . depending upon your genes. How tall is your Mom and Dad. That'll give you an idea of where you will end up. If 5'0 is it no problems. There are a lot of guys that love petite girls. I am 6' and most of the girls I dated were about 5'2" and that's what I married, a 5'2" redhead.

Well, I'm 5'0" and 17, so we're the same. I've heard girls can grow till their 18, but we usually stop growing 2 years after we start our period.
Now, ignore the people that make fun of your height. If you wanna seem taller,wear heals and boots. Really, I'd rather stay short than be taller, at least all the guys are taller than you.
Being short ain't all bad.

If they wanted you to grow so badly then they should have spend money on growth hormones late but whatever...all your throwing away is a couple of thousands of dollars)
But, tall guys are sexy and they go for short women (I've never dated a guy shorter than 6'3 and I'm 5'1 (hahah)
Anyways, but being short for a girl is a "whatever"...for a guy is sooo bad!!! OMG short men suffer a lot in this world

If you're a girl, usually women stop growing in height at 14. Sometimes there are exceptions, I have a cousin who grew from 5'7 to 6'0 feet throughout high school, but that's not common. Don't worry about your parents. You can't help your height but you could get high heels

You need to ignore the pressure from your parents. You said that you did not care so that is what's important. Not everyone is tall, height does not mean anything in this world. Tell your parents they need to focus on something else, worrying about their child's height is not fulfilling their parental duties.

it all depends on your genetics. My cuz is 20 and she is only 5'0, but you could still grow a couple of inches or more, depending on if you still have to have a growth spurt. You can't make yourself grow, at least without the use of steroids.

Well dear sorry to tell you b ut you might just have to deal with it. You might have one more growth spurt in you but probably not. Good things is though all the guys will go crazy after you . Being short is cute! If your comfy with it then its alright... Just enjoy it. Atleast your not tall skinny and akward looking

There is nothing you can do to make yourself grow. The good news is you have a few more years left. There is also nothing wrong with being petite.
