Your doctor can tell you through a simple x-ray. I thought I had stopped growing too, and they were able to find out for sure. When you're still growing, there are gaps between your bones that allow room for them to get bigger and grow. These are called growth plates. When you are done growing, the growth plates close up and there are no longer any gaps. Your doctor can tell through a simple x-ray whether or not you still have some growth leway, or if you're all done.
I work in a hospital, so I know what I am talking about. X-Rays are quick and painless. Just make an appointment with an endocrinologist. Good luck!!

My son's girlfriend is 4' 11" and she is 21. You could possible grow another inch or so. I went to school with a girl who was flat chested at graduation and when I saw her a year later she had finally blossomed. (not breast implants either...not that financially well off).

I'm 18 and 4'10" I had a ton of tests done when I was younger to see if something was wrong, but nothing is. It is very likely that you are just short. If it really concerns you then I would say talk with your doctor

I would consult with a doctor on that question. It is possible that something has inhibited your growth. How tall are your parents?
