i'm 13 and i haven't grown AT ALL in the last 2 and a half years.
i'm 5'2"
also, my feet haven't grown for about that long either.
i know, i know, i'm super young and i'll probably grow,
i'm just asking if theres any chance i'm done already?
or is this normal to stop growing for a few years then start again?
my mom is 5'6" and my dad just about 6 foot

hey there! I would say that in the next year you might put on quite a bit of height. When I was 13 I think I was 5'2-5'3ish, but now Im 15 and im somewhere aroung 5'6. Dont worry, right now Im guessing that you havent hit your growth spurt yet! Just relax. I know how you feel... I felt pretty impatient when I was waiting for my boobs to grow lol. But I think that since your only 13, dont be too suprized if you gain like 2- 4 inches in the next year. I hope this helped, and I know its frustrating, but just be patient! Take care! :)

Most likely you'll have at least one more growth spurt before you're done, if not more. The height of your mother and father don't always help you to guess how tall you'll be.. for example, in my family all the woman are very tall, 5'7" being the shortest and over 6' being the tallest, and then on my daughter's dad's side, the whole family is pretty small.. 5'10" is probably the tallest.. and when my daughter was young, her doctor estimated that she would grow to be aboput 5'8" just like me, but now she's 16&1/2 and she's only about 5'3" so.. there are a lot of other factors besides just your genes.. I think my daughter stayed so small because she was a very picky eater pretty much her entire life.. so, I think thats why she's so small. I'm still crossing my fingers that she'll grow at least a little more.. but at 16? Not too likely. I've been 5'8" since I was about 13 or maybe younger even! and I remember my feet being 5 in 4th grade, then by middle school they were 8&1/2! And they stayed the same ever since!
BLEH! Sorry.. didn't mean to write a novel.. Point is, you never can tell, but there is a very good chance that you will get at least one more growth spurt.. could be an inch, could be 6 inches! Hard to say. =)

Don't worry you have until your 18 that's five more years you have to grow. I'm 5' 2" and I like the way I'am. If you should be short be thankful that your alive and healthy.

Yes, If you wasn't growing you would be 3 feet. And you would be a midget. If you are not a midget you are growing.

There isn't really a "normal" with growth.
This predictor says you'll be about 5'6", though!

Next year you will show phenomenal grrowth. If you inherited your parents' genes (duh!) you should keep growing, till you are 18 or 19.
