You may or may not. My parents were 6'4" for my father and 5'1+3/4" for my mother. She was adament about that 3/4 inch. I did not start growing until I was almost 15. I was the shrimp in my class, picked on and everything else up until the summer when I turned 15 and then up I went, from under 5 feet to 6 feet, and it HURT! I had the thing they call "growing pains.". Growth is a function of your environment and your genes. I have 3 sisters, and all, like me, are tall, the shortest of my sisters is 5'9". You won't be the Green Giant. Think more like a supermodel, Brooke Shields, 5'10", Rebecca Romijn, 5'11", Verushka (supermodel from 1966, look for the blond babe in the movie, "Blow Up" with peter Hemings) 5'11". Being tall can be a distinct asset. I suspect you had your growth spurt earlier than I did which is why you are so tall for your age. I doubt you will gain any height or at most a litle from here on out, but you may. There is nothing you can do to stunt your growth unless you choose to do what happens in 3rd world countries and starve. I suggest you relish in your height. Think about this, you can stand at the back of a crowd and still see the parade!

Women continue to grow and develop into their early 20's. Usually you don't go through any LARGE growth spurts after around 18. You'll probably grow some more.
The grass is always greener on the other side though. I'm 23 and only 5' 2" and I would looove to be able to grow a few more inches. Be proud of your body. Be proud of who you are and everyone else will see your beauty too.

I think you will grow a little more. You are still young, the boys around you haven't gone throught heir main growth spurts yet, have some patience.
I am tall too. I do yoga to reinforce good posture. For years I slouched but that won't make anybody look shorter just uncoordinated like a "giant".
