Will I grow at least 2 inches taller?
I’ll be 21 next year. I was taller than my peers till 11, then I stopped growing. I’m 5”2’ now. My dads 5”4.5 and mom is 5”2.5’. I thought girls grow at least taller than their mom. Can I grow at least one inch taller?

Madam,
Growth is something which is predetermined...mostly genetic.
If you have stopped growing taller at an age, then your growth plates in the bones must have fused with the bones. You are now 20 and this is the age where growth starts stabilizing at growing ends of bones.
So please do not waste much time on such ideas.
Still....here is what you can do
Next Steps
please consult an orthopedician and get the X-Rays done....to find any premature closure of growth plates. Through techniques like Illizorov rings, we can give a try but results are not consistent
Health Tips
1. Please do not go for comercially available growth boosters.
2. Discuss your problem with Orthopaedician and come to conclusions
