It all depends on whether you're addicted to drugs or other substances which may stun your growth both physically and mentally. Your confusion may be a result of your hostility to life itself which may lead to future complications as to fitting in as a meaningful and productive member of society. You need to get a grip on yourself and not blind yourself to meeting your needs through a realistic approach to life's mysteries. Let nature take its course but you must remain ever aware and totally in control of yourself at all times.

Don't worry about it. Every person goes at different speeds and quits at different times.
I am 5'10" tall. I was 5'10" when I was 13 or 14 years old. I wear the same size shoe now at age 50 as I did when I was in junior high. My younger brother was 5' 8" when he was 13 or 14. He didn't reach 5' 10" till he was 17. Now he is 6' 2" tall. He was 20 or 21 before he stopped going.
Kids are going bigger now, probably better diets. I have nephew who is 12 years old he is about 5' 10" tall and wears a size 14 shoe, he is as big as a refrigerator. I suspect by the time he is a senior he will be as big as a house.
30 years ago when I was in high school our girls basketball team won the state championship. There was not a girl on the team over 5' 8" tall. I watched my nieces play in a tournement just a few years ago. Their were several teams that didn't have a player on the team as short as 5'8" tall. One team from Texas didn't have a girl on the team under 6' tall.
Point is its just not worth worrying about. Theres not much you can do about it your height will be what it will be. Worry about making good grades or something else.

It depends. Some says to me that I will stop growing when I start to get fat. I am very slim and I'm 6'1' at the age of 16. I don't know when I will stop growing.
