im 16 yrs. old / female/ 4'11
is there any possibility that i can grow a few more inches so that i could be at leat 5'3-5'5?
im the shortest in my family, (I HATE IT) my parents keep comparing my height with my taller cousins (my 8 yr old cousin is almost my height!-EMBARRESSING)
and then i get teased by my step-sister and friends.
it makes me depressed and self-conscious. can i grow still?

There are treatments that use Human Growth Hormones (HGH). You will need a referral from your family doctor. However, such treatments are not w/o significant health risks.
BTW, I think that short ladies can be very sexy... my first real date was with a short girl, and I still think about it...

I didn't finish growing until my jr/sr yrs in high school. I am short, too (barely 5'2''), but, as my fav. aunt always told me, you can date all the cute guys if you are short, whereas a lot of the cute guys under 5'6'' don't feel comfortable asking taller girls out. You can also get away with whatever size heels you feel like wearing without worrying about making your date uncomfortable.

aw don't get self-conscious. you may still be growing. plus there's nothing wrong with being short, guys seem to like it more something about feeling like they can protect you. psh, guys.

sorry, but women pretty much stop growing once they get their periods. if you havent started yet, you may get taller
