Hi,
I am currently 15 years old, will be 16 in January.
My height is 5'8. When I was born, the doctor said I'd be
somewhere in between 5'7-5'9.
I know you continue growing until 18, right?
Well my question is, do you think I will get any taller?
Because I don't want to. And if so, is there any easy way to stunt my growth?

You usually slow down on growing. I was about 4'10/4'11 when I was 13, and my doctor told me then I wouldn't be growing much anymore. I'm 19 now and 5'0, so I only grew 1/2 inches in 6 years. I don't think you'll get much taller. I know the old wives tale if you drink coffee that will stunt your growth, but I doubt that. If you ever feel you're too tall, there are procedures where they work on your legs to make you shorter... or taller. It's only like 1-3 inches, nothing too dramatic. I know girls in China do it to be at least 5'0.

I am in the exact same place as you. I am 15 and 5'8. I keep praying I won't grow any taller,since most of the girls in my grade are very petite and make me feel gigantic in size. How tall are your parents? If your mom or grandma is tall, this could reflect on your height. You are almost 16 and if you do grow any taller I am sure it won't be much, maybe a half inch or so, if any. Hon, be proud of your height! Many people comment on my model height and my crush thinks it's awesome! Also, when you're at concerts, you can see! I know, being tall at 15 can suck a lot sometimes and you just want to stop growing right now. But, there are lots of benefits to being tall!!!! Also, being confident can change not only yours but other's opinion of your height! Also, many famous,sucessful, beautitful Women are tall-
Blake Lively

Mariah Carry(sp.)
Anna Kourniova

You probably will grow a little bit more. Generally girls stop gowing between 18-21. There is no safe way to stunt your growth.
(Just so you know: there is no way to predict how tall you are going to be. You doctor just took a guess)
