I'm almost 17, female, and I'm 5 feet tall. I'm white, and both my parents are 5'7'' and up. Is it possible that I will grow any more or have I finished?

You could grow a little more.I grew a couple of inches after I was 18.

Yes, though it depends on when you hit puberty. After the growth spurt during puberty, there's a period of much slower growth that lasts a few more years. I personally grew from 5'5" when I was 17 to being 5'6" at 19 or 20... Not alot I know, but it does mean that you CAN grow a bit after you think you've stopped growing.
If you hit puberty really early you're more likely to be finished growing however...

I am 5'1" and stopped growing at 10 years old. The chances of you growing taller are slim, and I wish you luck, but remember good things come in small packages, you don't need height to show you are a good person with big heart

You're white! Oh, that makes it all the more clearer. You are doomed to be a midget.
