but I suddenly got osgood shlotters (sp?) bumps right below my knee caps and my arm length is 6'1. Most of the people i know with oshgood once they get it they have a major growth spurt. Do you think I will have one? how tall will i be?

I don't think growth is related to Osgood Schlatter's disease.
Growth is largely determined by genetics (heredity) and to a lesser extent, nutrition. The average adult male is 2 inches taller than his average forebear in 1940. Are your parents and other relatives taller than average?
An x-ray could determine if your growth plates (epiphyses) are still open, but many doctors don't want to do this without other reasons. Have your periods begun yet? Most girls stop growing within 18 - 24 months after the onset of regular periods.

If you keep growing you should pick up a basketball and learn to play that game very well. If you do that you might be able to get a scholarship to college and that would be very good!
Maybe you should pick up that ball anyway.

That's so cool that you are tall. You should be a model.
