I'm 14 and I'm 5'1. I wouldn' be worrying BUT I've been that height since I was 10! I swear, really. I really don't want to stay that short because I want to be tall. The thing is that my family is short- my dad is the tallest one and he's 5'6. I also asked my doctor if there's a chance I could grow taller (since she noticed I haven't even grown an inch) and she just said something quietly.
Is there any way I could atleast grow to be 5'7 or 5'8?

there isn't anything wrong with being short... everyone is different. i stopped growing when i was 10 (at 5'0") and now i'm 21, and my friend grew between the ages of 15-17 from 4'11" to 5'10". then i had another friend who was 5'2" til her second year in college and grew to 5'9". seeing that your parents are on the shorter side you may not grow much taller, but ya never know.

your only 14! calm down, you stop growing usually around 21. i was only 4ft 8" when i was fourteen and now, 4 years on i'm 5ft 2 and a half! lol
face it your just meant to be small, nothing you can do.
5ft7-8 is awfully tall for a girl anyway - the average is only 5ft 4
kylie minogue is only 5ft 3
christina aguilera is only 5ft 2
if your still self conscious then high heels do wonders!
hope you feel better

its okay to be short. 5'1 really isn't that tiny anyway. just stretch your back out to get taller. i suggest taking gymnastics or dance, that helps you're body grow and mature faster. excersise is really good to help the body stretch out n grow. try some back bends, and find different ways you like to stretch to help you grow.

there is no way to make yourself grow taller.

I am 33 and 5 foot short.

You are only 14 so you may still grow.

You should have asked the doctor to say her answer louder.
