I am thirteen and my 12 year old molars are still growing, I am wondering if that affects my growth spurt, because I haven't got one yet and I started my period three years ago, I am really worried. Do I still have time to grow?

teeth arent really related to growing that much - i was 17 and still had 6 baby teeth at the front and sides and back! (which i had to have taken out) - now i'm 18 and i've just got one wisdom tooth and another one coming! teeth are random! Also when i was 9 i had size 4 feet i thought they'd be massive by time i was an adult - now i'm 18 and they're only size 5! I also remember a certain day in science class when my teacher measured us all :( i was 143cm at age 15 and now i'm 163 - still not massive but i grew and i'm the same height as my friends!
different parts of your body grow at different rates - but eventually it'll all even out and you'll be about around the same height as your parents, but if you're really worried have a chat with your doctor, they'll check everythings ok. but i'm sure its fine, just wait a bit and eat lots of veg! vitamins help you to grow xxx

Definantely not. Your molars, if anything, would respond to a grow spurt, not create one. And some growth spurts are unnoticed because the individuals are just short.
If your really worried about it, go to a doctor and they will check your human growth hormone (HGH) to see if it is in normal ranges.

Genetics determine your height, check-out your female relatives (mom, sister or aunt), this will give you a better idea, how tall you will get.
The formula is: add both of your parents height, divide by 2 &
add 3 inches to your current height.
