You will continue to grow and develop all the way up to age 25, though the majority of obvious big changes happens roughly between ages 12 and 18.
Don't worry, you've got plenty of time!

Your parents should take you to your doctor to check your growth rate. You may have a pituitary problem. Are you really short? You may have Turner's syndrome-100% of all girls who have this are short-other symptoms maybe lack of growth in adolescence. Turner syndrome affects girls-they are either missing part of or all of an 'X' chromosome-the chromosome that determines if you are a girl or a boy-boys have a Y chromosome. They are supposed to have 2 'X' chromosomes. Girls lacking this chromosome usually have normal intelligence.
Tests can be ran to determine if you have Turner syndrome. Ask your parent if an amniocentesis was done before you were born-if there were 2 complete X chromosomes then you are not Turner. If have Turner syndrome-growth hormones are given to stimulate growth in height (if your growth plates are not closed) and breasts etc.
You may be just a late bloomer. My daughter is-she is 16 and still developing and growing. I hope this is the case for you as well.

Yes, my dear, your time will come!
You may be a "late bloomer." If you think something's wrong, though, let your parent(s) know. Maybe a trip to the doc would put your mind at ease.
If by "developed" you just mean the size of your chest, well, you may just stay that size. My chest is small, and I have no problem with it!

You might grow some more. Don't worry about it, Sweetheart: Just take the best care of yourself that you can, and the rest will take care of itself.
