I am 14 years and 9 months. My height is 5'4 1/2 and I have not grown much in the past 6-7 months, only 1/2 an inch. Does this mean I am done growing? I have had facial hair for a while and I shave. I also have some chest hair. My dad is 5'6 and my mom is 5'0.

Not to worry pal. you're not done growing. It just seems to be taking a long time because of your age. A good indicator would be your mother's father. Her father's genes contribute a lot to her off-spring.

Guess what? The average mail does not stop growing until HE IS 25 YRS OLD!
My cousin was 17, his father was 5' 7", mother 5' 2". He was 5' 6". They bought him a suit for his graduation in September. By May he had turned 18 and had a growth spurt to 5' 8" and NOTHING fit... NOTHING!
By 20 he was 5' 9.5".
Get some exercise, walk, walk, walk. Eat a proper diet... malnutrition hinders ALL growth. AND don't EVER smoke. Smoking affects EVERY cell in your body.
Stay healthy, dude.

Your parents do seem pretty short so i would think you wouldnt get much taller.Even though that doesnt always happen as i only reached 5'2.5 now i am shrinking.I didnt get as tall as my parents.All my siblings got taller than me and i was one of the oldest. So dont worry if you are to walk the earth at that height as there are alot of people shorter than you.You should still find a girl shorter than you as well.SO GOOD LUCK

You still are in your formative years and it's possible that you will still keep growing.
