No one on Yahoo Answers can possibly give you the right answer to this. It has to do with your genetics, that's for sure, and also how careful you are to eat properly and get the right nutrition. My husband is unusual in that he was not tall for a man up until, believe it or not, the age of 21, after which he grew 3 additional inches. Who knows what genetics caused this to happen. He is now taller than any member of his family.

Like someone said, none of us can really say. It doesn't sound like you're genetically destined to be tall, but it isn't impossible, the tallness gene is recessive. I was always short too and I was also a late bloomer so I grew some after I was 14 and now I'm 5'7", but then again I'm as tall as my mom and much shorter than my dad. I don't really know what could make you taller. But anyway no one can really say, you'll have to wait and see. And there's nothing wrong with being short, it's just the way you are.

Like someone (or several someones) above said, no one on here can tell you. I know I grew about an inch after I turned 30 if that helps at all.
But look on the bright side: You will likely not have to worry about wearing heels making you taller than your boyfriend/husband like my 5'8" friend does.

I was 5'2 at 14 and never grew more. I'm part Asian though. I don't know. You can't force yourself to be taller. It's about genetics.

number one, don't drink coffee it stunts your growth. : ) maybe not but that is what my mom tells me. I stopped growing at 14 and I'm only 4'11 but it depends on genetics and stuff like that. Like there is this guy who has short parents but he is almost 6 ft. tall. it just depends.

Well...ask your doctor? How big are your feet? That says a lot..there's nothing you can do to force yourself to grow taller.
