are you male or female? if you are male, you can probably have a growth spurt up until your early 20s. how many inches you still have to grow is determined by your genes, so look at how much taller your father/ older brothers are. if you are female, you probably won't grow too much after 17 or 18 so the chance of a major spurt is a lot smaller. again, you will probably end up somewhere between the height of your mother and the height of your father.

there are instances when people start growth spurt when they are beyond 14 years old. my height is 5'9". i used to be a laughing stock in school when I was 14 or 15 because i was the smallest in class. little have i noticed, my pants and shirts become smaller and smaller after a few more months. i used to think that my mom should change her detergent. but no, what i needed to do was buy myself new sets of "bigger" clothes. i was 16 then. so don't worry. your time will come.. cheer up!

You should grow as tall as your parents. You might not have a growth spurt but you might grow steadily until you reach a height that falls between the height of both of your parents.

well... starting periods at 12, i would say that your energy for growing is being used for growing outwards not upwards... for breasts and hips and the women shape in general.
can't do it all at once now can we :P
most girls tend to stop growing up so fast once the periods settle down, and other things start to grow, but do not worry as you have plenty of growing time left yet. :)
