I'm 14 , and I haven't grown an inch since my 14th birthday. (2 months ago) I may have grown at most a cm, but really I dont see that much of a difference in height. I'm currently now 5'5, and my mom is 5'2, my dad 5'5 3/4. I weigh about 112 lbs., and get about 30min - 60 min of physical activity a day. I drink at least 2 glasses of milk daily. I've grown lots of hair all around. Does this mean I'm about done growing? Please, I don't want to be this short. I want to be at least 5'7..

No. You aren't finished growing. My son (who is now 19) was ALWAYS small for his age. He has grown since the age of 14 and beyond. My husband also grew after the age of 18. So just hang in there. I'm sure you still have some growing to do.

You are not done growing yet. You should be able to achieve 5'7 because you are only 14 and it's not just based on your parents. It could go back a generation or more so don't give up hope. I didn't reach my peak height until I was 21. Dennis Rodman didn't get tall until he was in college and then he grew a foot. So look at your grandparents on both sides and relax. You may tower over your parents before you stop growing. Good luck.

When you say you've grown lots of hair all around...I assume you mean you've gone through puberty? If so, bad news...you're pretty much done growing. You may get a little bit more when you are like 18 or 19, but not likely. Although it sounds like you measure quite often! not sure if you'd see a measurable difference in 2 months. Thats alright, short guys have an easier time buying clothes, shoes, etc. Plus girls will think you are "such a little cutie!" and pinch your cheeks and stuff!

The average age to stop is 21 I think, so don't worry you have time yet...
