Height problem
I am 14, 4 ft 10(148cm) and weigh 77 pounds(35kg). I have my period when I was 12. I grew 12 cm from 10-12 years old and 5cm from 12-13. However, I stopped growing from 13-14. My mother is 5 ft 2 (157cm) and my father is 5 ft 8 (172cm). How tall will I be? Will I still grow taller? Are there any ways for me to grow taller? How come I stopped growing when I was 13-14? So will I still grow this year or 15,16?
