It is most likely that you will grow, as it known that people keep growing tilll the age of 24 in most cases. However it will depend on how much you grow with the detials of your hereditary signs and what you do in general, like if you swim or if you play Baskeball, you do have a better chance of growing tall. You shouldnt be worried about it as height shouldnt bothe you too much. there are lots of other things that should be your focus. Hope this helps

Most women are done growing at around 18, but there is a chance that growth can still occur until age 21. It all depends on genetics. Although you are only 15, you have some time left to grow. Just be patient. It might be that you have a slow growth spurt. I stopped growing at around your age, but at least I am glad about my height. You may grow a bit just give it time. Take care!

Yes, you certainly can continue to grow, and most likely you will, at least until you are 18 years old. If you become very dissatisfied with your height, you can, with your parents knowledge and approval, speak with your doctor about it. There are medications that can cause growth, especially at your age. (The medications are mainly hormonal in nature and can be dangerous,if not monitored frequently and and knowledgeably.) You may not need them!

Well... it's really not something we can say for certain. Have you gotten your first period yet? If not then you still have a way to grow... if so that's something that's all about your biology. If you are really concerned have your mother take you for xrays. There are some that are specifically designed to tell you if you are going to continue to grow.

ofcourse...depending on your DNA. Some people could keep growing until they're 23, or even as little as 12. just depends. Your uncle and grandfather are pretty tall. so yeh u probly will. drink a lot of milk...trust me it works

Yes, with the right diet you can grow until you're in your 20s! Just eat healthy and get plenty of exercise.
