I think that you'll probably reach around 5'4'' (according to my calculations), but it really all depends on your genes. But drink lots of milk and take your vitamins just in case.... :+ )
Usually a girl grows around 2 inches after she's had her period, so if you've had your period, add two inches to the height you were then. If you haven't had it, then you most likely will be taller than 5'6''. It also depends on when you had your growth spurt- generally the later you have it the more the spurt will be and the taller you will be.
I've grown over 6 inches in the past year and a half- from 5' at 12 to 5'6 1/2 at 13 1/2, and am still growing.
My mom is 5'10, my dad is 5'8, and my sister is 5'3 (and shes in college)

Here's a fun height calculator I found.
http://www.keepkidshealthy.com/welcome/htcalculator.html
It says your potential is 5'5" assuming you are healthy. Girls typically stop growing around age 14. Ask your sister how tall she was at 14.
Girls enter their growth years between 8 and 12 years of age. usually reach their peak growth around ages 12 or 13. may stop growing at ages 14 to 16.
You could grow taller. You'll be done by age 16.

A year after a girl gets her period, she stops growing. I am thirteen and I am 5'2...so I may reach 5'3 or 5'4. My sister is twenty and she is 5'1...lol! My dad's side of the family is TALL and my mom's side of the family is TALL except for her!

u will prolly reach it i mean im only 15 and im still growing im only 5'1 maybe 2 but hey im happy, both my parents are short, 5'1" and 5'6 or 7 so i wont be getting any taller. but u still have time girls dont stop growing until 18 so expect ur last growth spurt within the next year or so.

to tell u the truth.. u still have time to grow... i mean.. once u hit 18.. ur high would stay the same.. mayb u'll grow alittle more but.. ur only 14.. so jus wait n see... eat alot.. drink alot of milk.. n get alittle excersise.... or u don need to do any of that.. jus play basketball everyday.. u'll get taller...
i'm short too.. my both mom n dad's side r short... (no we r not mijets) .. my both brother grew taller... they r like 6'5 n 6'2.. n me n my sis r short... . so wat if i'm short... alot of guy's like girls who r short... .. i'm skinny n short.. wheras my sis.. fat n short.. but she's married.. ..
nwyz.. i kinda got carried away.. back to ur question.. u will get taller.. mayb not 6'2 but u hav time so don worry abt ur height... forget abt how tall/short u look... the next minute u'll realize that u grew up very fast..... ...

I would say you'd grow another inch or two before you're done. That would make you 5'3'' or 4'' thats a great height.
