You will probably only grow an inch more, if that. Girls hit their growth spurt BEFORE they have their periods and once you get your period, you will only grow a bit more- maybe an inch.
Girls do not keep growing until they are 21 unless they hit a VERY late puberty. Some boys on the other hand may grow until they are 21 because their puberty hits later than girls puberty.

Family genetics generally play a large part in how tall you'll be unless you have a condition such as Achondroplasia... even if your parents are short and your grandparents aren't all that tall... you may take after old uncle what's his name....most teenagers have a growth spurt between about the ages of 15-17. The boys in my family go from being weedy, gangly looking boys to 6' men in what seems no time flat.
Just make sure you eat healthy and exercise it will benefit you no matter how tall you end up.
It's not what you have...it's how you use it!!

There is really no way to know for sure if you are going to still grow. While it's true you keep going through puberty until your late teen's, it doesn't mean you will still have growth spurts. But it doesn't mean you won't either. I stopped growing when I was your age, I am also 5'3". But my husband had another growth spurt when he was 16, and he's over 6'.
Have you asked your doctor?

YOU ARE ALMOST AS TALL AS YOUR DAD NOW!!
i think if you're still 14yrs old you have the chance to grow more, that's certain.. but how many inches more you'll grow,, i can't tell..

Puberty lasts until your in your late late teens. You'll keep growing. You could grown six inches, but it all depends on your genes.

your still growing until your 21 , but no one can determine how much u will grow , but genetics state that u wont get much taller as your parents and grandparents are small , but who knows u might get lucky
