If you are 12 years old, you haven't stopped growing yet. You are just hitting puberty, and you're body will start it's slow change soon. There is no food, drink or exercise that can determine how tall you get. It all depends on your genes and you as an individual. Both my parents are short, but my grandparents were tall, so I am tall.
I hope this answered your question.

Maybe. There really isn't anyway to predict it. Most girls grow until they are 18-21. Are your parents tall? Height is usually based on genetics.
There isn't anything (safe) that will make you grow. there are no magic foods.

Yea, people grow at differnt rates, and you seem for your age and height to be eating healthy things. If my 'testimony' helps when I was 11 i went from 4'8'' to 5'3''. And esp. if ppl in your family are tall, theyrs a chance you will be too!

It Is possible you could be over 6'.But it really depends on genetics.Drink lots of milk through your teen years, since it adds 19% of height.The probability of you being that tall is a little overrated, so I'd say you could maybe be around 5'10.
