im 12 and i am worried that i will only be 5 ft 1. My voice has gotten deeper, i've ejeculated, and grown pubic hair and a bit of a mustache. recently i have grown about 5 inches. i have always been small but i always figured i would just grow to be bigger. is this my growth spurt? is it over? how can i tell?

Not even close, you're only just beginning puberty -- I went to school with a guy who was about 5'6"ish all the way through high-school -- a few years later I met up with him and, no exageration, he was probably about 6'6"
Either way, don't get too caught up on height or anything else, as important as it might seem to your now, it really really doesn't matter when you are older. Very little of what seemed important to me as a teen living in the high-school world turned out to be even vaguely important.
BTW, nearly every tall person I know suffers from some sort of back problem by the time they are in their 30's or 40's(including myself).

Best if you talk to a pediatrician about this. They are experts on growth and development, among other things. They will ask you about your parents' height and about your growth velocity over the past year (how fast you've grown). I agree that you should avoid the internet with sensitive stuff like this, at age 12.

Growth spurts can go on for awhile and are sometimes accompanied by pain in the joints or bones. I've known people who did not stop growing until their early 20's.

You're only twelve chances are you will have another growth spurt. You could be six feet tall by the time your twenty it depends on the person.

these people are all mostly right. but it also depends of your heredity. if both of your parents are short you will probably be short. and if your 12 you are still pretty young even if all the other stuff has happend. so if your parents are normal sized then most likely you will be average sized eventually

Good luck,
