Answer 1

YES

Answer 2

It's very unlikely that you're done growing. You're going through puberty which means huge changes for your body on every level. Your body is probably diverting it's energy to that process at the expense of building more height. That's temporary. People grow until early adulthood, in fact, the brain keeps developing until the mid-twenties. Executive function is the last thing to develop. It's the function that helps you make decisions, and take in info. from many sources. This ability is what distinguishes adults from kids and youth, who are well known for making poor decisions that have not been thought through. Parents step in here to try endlessly to teach their kids to make responsible decisions and prevent foolish choices (drunk driving, racing through downtown streets, taking risky dares, etc.) So, in conclusion, you're probably going to grow some more, for some time yet. The height of your parents is a good indication of your future height.

Answer 3

I doubt it.

They say that you keep growing until your 25 years old. But the majority of that is over when your 18.

The body can start and stop growing periodically.

Your doctor should be able to tell you about this.

Answer 4

chances are that if you've grown normally all your life you wont just suddenly stop growing..you have at least another 4 years of growing left to do...if your parents are short you might not grow to be much taller than them..but hormone change constantly through your teens so growth spurts could happen anytime.

Answer 5

No, I already got my period a few years ago, and I didn't stop growing. :)
For a few people it might, depending how tall their family is for example.
You probably wont. :)

Answer 6

you probably have not stopped, just slowed down. Give it time.
